Farm Fresh Eggs

Baking heaven.

The ladies have been going strong since January! We're hoping a new home and new nesting boxes will mean 2012 is a healthier and happier year than 2011 (knock on wood). Credit for the skinny whites goes to Tony Hawk, the speckled brown to a Golden Buff, pale brown to a Plymouth Rock, and the most beautiful green to the queen, Sylvia.

Oatmeal Cranberry Pistachio Cookies

I turned my granola into a cookie with this recipe. If you like my granola, you will like this cookie. 

 

This is my favorite version of the traditional oatmeal raisin. Swapping cranberries for raisins adds more sweetness and a pop of color. A big handful of pistachios adds a hint of unexpected nuttiness and some health. But really, these cookies are good for three reasons: granulated sugar, brown sugar, and most importantly, maple syrup. It smells like breakfast when you take these puppies out of the oven.
