Bacon, Egg, and Potato Pizza


Breakfast for dinner on a pizza? This pie combines bacon, eggs, and potatoes with 2 kinds of cheese for a sensational savory breakfast pizza served any time of day.

If the internet is primarily a place to look at pictures of cats, then Instagram is the neighborhood with the zoning laws that allow backyard chickens. On my IG feed I watch a lot of videos of chickens--chickens strutting their stuff with brilliant plumage. Chickens taking baths in dust. A flock of chickens chasing after treats. My IG feed is delightful thanks to the chicken videos by Kris of Attainable Sustainable, Lisa of Fresh Eggs Daily, and Kathy of The Chicken Chick.

For the Basset Hound lovers out there (you know you're in this crowd, what's not to love if you're not the one washing dried drool off the walls?) I try and give back to the IG community with a video of the flying ears of Robert Barker walking on a windy day [turn off the sound].

Thanks to my local egg providers and IRL chicken-owning friend I've learned that egg production diminishes when it's cold out and days are shorter, and picks back up as we near Spring. This time of year, I bide my time, hoarding the local eggs I do have and using them when necessary. I don't go crazy throwing eggs on everything. There's a time and a place to throw eggs on everything.

Like today, and like this pizza.

Red Pork and Cabbage with Beets

A one skillet meal of sautéed red vegetables--beets, cabbage, and radishes--with a bit of pork for protein. I nicknamed this low carb grain free meal Red Power Dish.

It's interesting how my consumption of the news has changed. I remember when I was a kid Sunday morning was for piling up on my folks' bed and reading the paper. Primarily I read the Sunday comic section and accompanying magazine. I don't think I paid any attention to the daily paper the rest of the week, unless I had a project for school.

Mardi Gras Bread

This festive bread is naturally colored with sweet potatoes and green tea to make a sweet braided loaf that's fun and nutritious. A wholesome way to let the good times roll.

One of the awesome joys of being part of a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm share is getting my mittens on brilliantly colored vegetables, then playing around with them to make neat things. Often, if you're not already enjoying a farm share or farmer's market, I'll tell you you're S.O.L. in terms of finding unique vegetables.

Not this time. You could hit a regular grocery store and make this bread.
