Our girls are laying. Yesterday we received 5 eggs from them. So, it’s huevos rancheros time. It is one of my favorite dishes. It is not authentic. Just to be clear on that. I cheat on the sauce but when it’s this good, why bother to make something else. The sauce is Hatch’s Green Chile [...]

While my wonderful husband works on the outside run of the coop, the peeps have a temporary enclosure. It looks like a play-land but we’d hate for the peeps to be bored. The umbrella on top serves two purposes in providing shade and a cover to keep Gylfie from flying out. It [...]
