Egg salad is a quick & delicious way to use fresh eggs. After the eggs are boiled & peeled, egg salad spread comes together in minutes. I even have a secret tip for eliminating the need to peel the eggs!

I’m preserving or using up my fresh eggs from our pastured flock as quickly as I can. ‘ve made breakfast burritos using eggs and cooked sausage wrapped in a tortilla & frozen for quick grab-n-go convenience.
But I still want to make sure none of our fresh eggs go to waste.
I recently made egg salad with several of them but as many of you know, boiling & peeling very fresh eggs is a challenge indeed. I was surprised that I had no trouble at all with them. Here’s how I did it:

I enjoy chilled home-canned vanilla flavored pears as a simple dessert. They’re delicious eaten cold right out of the fridge. And they’re so easy to make!

Now that we have our own chickens, eggs are certainly not in short supply. And we also always have bread in the house since you can buy a day-old loaf of french bread very inexpensively and use it for many recipes.
Today I’m making french toast… with a twist! I decided to try to make french toast stuffed with cream cheese & blueberries.

I dehydrated excess potatoes for longer-term pantry storage. It’s easy, but there’s a trick to keeping them from turning black as they’re dehydrated.

When it’s pear season, I like to use them to make fresh pear preserves. It’s a favorite of RancherMan’s for sure!

Most people know that chickens slow down their egg production in the winter months. So I’m trying to preserve the more-than-we-can-use quantity of eggs I’m blessed with now for those leaner times.
I’ve written before about preserving the eggs from our pastured flock by making a large batch of breakfast burritos and freezing them. They make a quick grab-n-eat meal before church so your stomach isn’t rumbling so loudly the sermon can’t be heard!
But you can only eat so many breakfast burritos. So I began looking for other ways to preserve those precious eggs so that none would go to waste.

We keep a small flock of hens her on the Homestead. Not only do they provide free pest control (and they LOVE their jobs!) but also plenty of fresh eggs. When they provide more than we can eat I make my own convenience food: Freezer Breakfast Burritos.
