- Chickens, and Pigs, and Dairy Cows – OH MY!
Minnesota is home to a wide variety of agricultural animals that provide us with food and many other items we use every day! My daughters and I thought it would be fun to highlight two breakfast ideas that include products from three Minnesota-grown animals – chickens (eggs), pigs (Canadian bacon) and dairy cattle (cheese). We gathered these ingredients and were ready to try out some tasty recipes and use our new Egg Bites Maker and Breakfast Sandwich Maker. These kitchen gadgets are courtesy of my aunt Pat Schweitzer who works with Hamilton Beach as the consumer test kitchen manager. - Garden Harvest – Cooking up tasty treats!

Please share in the ‘Leave a Reply’ section at the bottom! We would LOVE to hear from you. - Honey and Crops
