5 Egg Dishes That Should Not Exist

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.

The Best Montana Breakfast

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).
