Stuffed Breakfast Peppers (with recipe)

So I found one of my newest easy meal/snack recipes. As with all my recipes I put my own personal twist on it. Pinterest is a killer man all those meal ideas, ugh. This one was well worth trying. It has instantly become a family favourite. Try it in your home and see what you think!

Ingredients 

Bell Peppers

Eggs

Crumpled Bacon

Cubed cheese (or shredded)

Seasonings

Slice bell peppers 1/2 inches thick (we eat 2 - 3 per person)

Place in a hot oiled pan

Put in desired amount of crumpled bacon and any other ingredients you want (we did finely chopped onions once as well as minced garlic)

Once pan is good and hot simply crack one egg in each pepper slice, or scramble up some eggs and put in the middle!

Now this isn't Pinterest, and I'm not a food photographer here's the real deal, some of the egg will seep out the bottom, thus why I said make sure pan is hot first. First time I tried this in a cold pan I think the only part of the egg that stayed in the pepper was the yoke! Lol

Now simply cover with a lid, reduce heat and let it cook. I pour a little water in the pan tho "steam" the tops.

Once the egg is cooked to your liking, simply top with cheese, replace lid, and turn off the heat. Let sit for about 3 min and serve!

These are so good! Also the peppers will be very juicy and have a sweetness to them! Try your own twist and let me know what you think!

Time to bounce!

So the boys did a bunch of yard work today; raking, burning dead leaves, moving some lumber, helped clear out some more stuff in the coops etc. then they decided they were missing their trampoline. SO it was time to set it up! They did an awesome job since I really wasn't much help funny how broken ribs effects so much. (On a side note really can't wait for them to heal lol)

Anyways they packed all the pieces out of storage and started setting it up. They even got all the springs on without my help. I love sing my boys enjoying their time together, even more so when it doesn't involve electronics! Don't get me wron they learn a lot of there laptops, movies, and games, but it's nice to see them getting back to good old fashion fun and fresh air!

Quick Check In.

The last couple days have been pretty busy around here, but it's been so nice to really start getting things checked off the honey do list (mainly mine lol). We got the coops electrical all inspected and bulbs replaced, got the anti theft fixed on my expedition, got some electrical done in the garage, got the trees marked in the new garden are, fixed the chainsaw, knocked down all the trees, got the majority of the coop cleaned out, gazebo set up, etc etc. I feel like I haven't stopped!

I have to admit it's a great feeling to finall see the end nearing on a couple of projects that have been on my list for months. I'm forced to take a bit of a breather right now and rest my back, but plan on getting my butt outside again soon. Hopefully the weather stays good so I can get a bunch of other stuff sold off this week, and finally get to the end of the downsizing we started in September of last year. It's a great feeling to let go of stuff that really doesn't fit you're life anymore.

I'll post more pics once I finish the work on the coop and get the other side cleaned out. I'm so excited to get it all done, and bring some beautiful birds home!

Non Toxic Weed Killer

People are finally starting to realize that using toxic chemicals in your gardens actually does more harm then good. Not only does it destroy the soil, but these chemicals will also leech into the plants you are trying to grow. That being said not everyone has the time to hand pick every garden and flower bed and weeds can take over a garden pretty quick. 

Here is a Natural Non Toxic weed killer to help keep the weeds under control in your garden without subjecting your produce and flowers to chemicals that can and will leech into your plants and then into your system.

Spreading Their Wings.

So far this morning these little chicks have been rather entertaining. Between jumping from one end of the tank to the other, and trying to "fly" out of the tank I'm really glad that we made sure they had a secure roof! Haha. The kids can't get over how quickly these babies are growing, it seems each day they are doing something new and entertaining. Yesterday it was tossing their treats around the tank today flight! 

Hmmm I wonder what tomorrow will bring haha!
