Try Organic Eggs for Breakfast

Eggs are a quick and easy favourite at our house.  Our teenage twin boys never seem to be satisfied with 3 meals so they learnt early to prepare eggs in various ways and this dish always hits the spot.  

Make a stop at Be Free Organic Grocery in Mucurapo to pick up grass-fed butter, organic eggs, salsa and brown rice tortillas.  The avocado, cilantro/ chadon beni, tomato and lime can be found at Fresh Organics in Maraval, Massy Stores or Tru Valu Supermarket.  

If like me, you thought Free Range, Cage Free and Organic eggs were basically the same, here's a link to Rodale's Organic Life to  help you understand the practices implied by the terms, Free Range, Cage Free, Organic, Pastured...

And let us know what you think of this recipe.
