All
winter, we’d been a bit sparing with eggs, so I was thrilled when the
hens started laying well again in the middle of February.  But when
we went out of town for about 36 hours, the trip was just long enough
to let the eggs back up beyond our usual needs.  Time to figure out
what to do with twenty extra eggs!



I have a bad memory, but keep a good blog record, so was thrilled to poke back through blog posts from a year ago and find this delectable Egg, Cheese, and Dried Tomato Pie. 
I used coconut flour instead of white flour in the crust this year, and
replaced the mozarella with swiss…and the pie was even tastier than I
remembered.



What’s up next?  Mark asked for a repeat of this Egg Salad, and for a special treat we may whip up a Lemon Meringue Pie. 
And then there are my easy standbys, notably scrambled eggs for
breakfast every morning and fried eggs paired with vegetable soup as an
ultra-simple lunch. 



How about you?  Are
your hens starting to churn out these beautiful orbs with abandon,
forcing you to pull out the stops with your egg recipes?  What’s
your favorite way to use up excess eggs?

How do you keep a rooster
from waking your family and neighbors up at 4am?



A “Do Not Disturb” sign won’t
help…it would take longer to teach him to read.



One solution is to locate
the coop on the far edge of your property, but this might make things
easier for local predators. The thing that works for me is White Noise.
Sleeping with a fan or a White Noise machine is the only way I’ve been
able to sleep through our rooster’s morning wake up call.
