Alright, no lying here. We know you might have forgotten Mother’s Day this year.

Here are some last-minute recipes and gift ideas that will leave you looking like you have had this planned for weeks!
St. Patrick’s Day is a time often used to overindulge in all sorts of beverages and food. We like to call it the Thanksgiving of the Spring. And with the greenest holiday of them all coming up faster than we expected, it’s time to start planning some Paddy’s Day appropriate egg dishes to go alongside your green beers and cocktails.
Just because you CAN make something using eggs as the main ingredient, doesn’t mean that you should. Seriously. If our beautiful hens saw some of the wild creations you humans have been concocting using their eggs, they’d be disgusted. Whenever I see these dishes in the wild, I can’t help but think, “whoever made this was so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should.” That’s a Jurassic Park reference by the way.
From restaurants to local grocery stores and elementary school cafeterias, our eggs can be found in many locations around Western Montana. Eating locally grown and raised products is important to the economy and the health of the community which is why we love when local schools contact us about using our eggs in their cafeterias.
When it comes to raising chickens, we keep things pretty simple. We believe that oftentimes the simplest option is the best option. It’s one of the many reasons we don’t cage our animals, we don’t use antibiotics and when we cook with our eggs, we don’t need to add a bunch of fancy ingredients. We hear time and time again about how exceptional our eggs perform in the kitchen and how remarkable they taste. We wanted to share some videos of your favorite television chefs cooking a dish that we all cherish: the classic scrambled egg!
It’s no secret we love breakfast. It’s our favorite meal of the day. Scrambled, over-easy, poached, hard-boiled: we’ll take our eggs any-which way. And while a protein-packed meal of eggs each breakfast from now until forever would be just fine by us, we occasionally like to add a side or two. Bacon? Yup. Toast? Sure thing. And beverages? You bet’chya. Coffee, chocolate milk, tea, and maybe a tall glass of OJ (though finding a Montana based orange juice company was pretty tough).
For all the grill enthusiasts out there breakfast can be a meal that keeps you inside and frustrated. Why shouldn’t you be able to fire up the coals at any time of day? Well, luckily grilling the day’s most important meal isn’t as hard as you think. Because, yes, you can grill eggs!
Across the world, eggs are an integral part of many meals. We’ve talked about chickens around the world and how to make a true Montana breakfast, but what about egg dishes in other countries? Let’s take a look!
Having more cows than people, Montana is well known as a state big on ranching and farming. At Farmer Boy Eggs, we are happy to produce eggs from free-range chickens while also supporting the local economy and providing a healthy food choice to the people of Montana. The best part about Farmer Boy Eggs, however, is how delicious they are to eat! Pair them with a few other local MT staple items and you are on your way to a healthy breakfast that not only tastes good but supports local farmers and ranchers.
