Ham and scrambled eggs (from my own chicken's butts) on hash brown "toast." Do I ever cook anything other than breakfast? Stick around to find out 😜

Giant apple fritter French toast + caramel apple syrup, pecans and whipped cream. 

(apple fritter from @scotties_donuts_ontheblvd) 

Sometimes I love playing chopped in my own kitchen, and this craziness is the result of some extra time this Sunday morning ✨

✨ chocolate chip scones ✨SAVE THE RECIPE 👇 

These light + fluffy chocolate chip scones are basically breakfast chocolate chip cookies! I love scones and will make a huge batch for my kids to eat all week - they make the perfect grab-and-go breakfast on busy school mornings. 

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2.5 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup butter (cold)
1/2 cup whole milk
1 egg
1 and 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips (mini chocolate chips)
.
Instructions
☕ Whisk flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together.  Grate the cold butter using a cheese grater. Add it to the flour mixture and combine with the flour mixture until it has a course, loose texture.
☕ Whisk 1/2 cup milk, your egg + vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the flour mixture, add the blackberries, then mix together until everything appears moistened. Add in chocolate chips and mix gently.
☕ To make triangle scones: With floured hands, work dough into a ball as best you can. Press into an 8-inch disc and, with a sharp knife cut into 8 wedges.
☕ Bake for 18-26 min (or until done) at 400°.

✨ Mediterranean omelette ✨ @athenosfeta al fresco brunch this weekend with the first fresh herbs from my spring garden! Having chickens means we eat a LOT of eggs. So many eggs. Does anyone want eggs? 😬 

🍳Eggs: Dog Meat, Taxes, Four, Yeezy + Plastique Tiara (my chicken babies) generously gave their eggs for this meal 🙌 they're silkies so we needed a couple more eggs then usual, they lay tiny eggs!

🌱Herbs: fresh oregano, parsley, lemon thyme + green onions from my garden. My herb garden is locked and loaded this year. 

🧄Seasoning: @mollysgarlic on top, salt and pepper to taste. Don't skip the Molly's Garlic, this seasoning is my absolute favorite and I put it on everything. It's such a great way to add so much flavor without a ton of salt! Bonus that the company is local to me, and I love supporting small businesses 🙌

🐪Hummus + tzetziki: @athenosfeta hummus and @walmart Marketside brand tzetziki. Usually I'd make scratch tzetziki, but this Walmart tzetziki style dip is pretty dang good if I'm feeling lazy! And Athenos is our favorite brand for hummus too. #notsponsored 😬

🥒Other veggies: Red onion, raw minced cucumbers. 

🧀Cheese: @athenosfeta feta cheese. We LOVE feta cheese, and Athenos has the best tangy crumbles.
