Vegetarian Chili con Huevos


This little morning creation came out much better than I thought. It was probably because of the super fresh eggs that I picked up from the mountain estate were I work. There are 12 chicken up there that have a little chicken coup but they are usually always out and about picking at little morsels in the ground. These chickens must be very happy because these are the best eggs I have every eaten!
If you have a little spot for chickens and the climate allows you,you really should look into making the small investment of having chickens. Then you don't have to worry about hormones, antibiotics or what ever else they feed them. Not to mention the terrible living conditions of these poor animals. You can't believe the difference.
