Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.
The Weather . . .
19°F with a wind chill of 8°F
Right now I am . . .
Brewing coffee and posting this blog post.
Thinking and pondering . . .
If you have chickens, are you team "fill the roosts with straw/bedding" or nothing team? We put straw in ours, and our eggs are clean. I was given some eggs a few weeks ago (team nothing in the roosts), and the eggs were very dirty. Also, since I have not been putting straw in the roosts, they are laying on the floor of the coop, so I'm going back to putting straw inside the roosts.
How I am feeling . . .
Pretty good.
On the breakfast plate . . .
Egg/sage sausage/cheese cups to go with an oatmeal bake. When I bake the egg cups, I like to put the solid ingredients in each cup first, then mix up the 6 eggs, 1/4 cup heavy cream (I used Greek plain yogurt and a splash of milk, salt/pepper and 1/2 tsp. baking powder, and evenly pour it over the other ingredients. It's just so much easier to evenly distribute the ingredients. I baked this for 18-20 minutes at 350°F.
By the way, this helps make one pound of sausage make more meals. I used 1 cup cooked sausage and 1 cup or less of pepper jack cheese that I hand shredded.
Also, I know they are not cheap, but I use parchment cups, because no matter what I grease my pan with, they always stick.
On the lunch plate . . .
Leftovers.
On the dinner plate . . .
Meatballs over wild rice, asparagus or green beans
On the menu . . .
-Chicken sheet pan dinner
On the reading pile . . .
On my TV . . .
Netflix - This is Us.
Looking around the house . . .
To-do list . . .
Deep Clean - Clean Washing Machine (it has a "clean washer" cycle), clean microwave. If you do not have a "Clean" cycle on your washing machine, you can buy tablets to toss in your washer and run on a hot cycle to clean your washing machine.

Good morning Kristina :)
We use shavings for our chicken coop and our eggs are always clean too. I guess there's something to that, isn't there?
I absolutely love your crochet blanket, I need to get back to crocheting, I've missed it so much.
Your menu sounds yummy. I noticed you mentioned low carb quesadillas, are you on a low carb diet? I've talked about it on my blog this morning, but I recently have switched due to my blood test results.
Anyway, have a blessed week.
Your egg and sausage and cheese cups look really good. Even better with a hot cup of coffee. I love a clean house, but deep cleaning, not so much, and dusting is my least favorite chore. Visiting your blog was a delight today. I was a stay-at-home mom for many many years. It sounds like it's been really cold there. Bundle up and stay warm. It's cold here too, and we had some snow.

I love the quote about softness vs. survival!
No coop but straw makes sense too me. Stay warm and have a great week.
The egg/cheese cups look really good and like something that would be easy to heat up on busy morning. Debated watching This is Us on Netflix, used to watch it hit or miss when it was on regular tv. Hope you have a wonderful week!
Hi there friend! we pack the coop full of shavings! We have one chicken that for some reason hasn't figured out she needs to sit to lay an egg? She does it standing and if there's not tons of shavings they crack and then the chickens eat them :( No chicken ever needs to know how delicious an egg tastes lol! Ours are pretty clean too, with the shavings. we have a few eggers that lay blue and some that lay green, so they look nice on my counter if they are clean haha! I feel like the shavings help keep the girls warmer too at night. Maybe that's just me being over-protective.
Those egg and cheese cups look delicious! I need some good egg recipes especially since the girls are laying regularly now!
I hope you have a wonderful week!!
Those breakfast cups look so yummy!! Love the afghan you are working on! Have a great week!
Sandra, if you go back a post, you can see all a better photo of the afghan. Yes, we eat low carb/low sugar. My husband is diabetic.
Red Rose Alley, the egg cups are very good. Glad you enjoyed my blog.
Anne in the Kitchen, I've been reading a lot of good ones recently.
Thanks Lis K Thomasson Jung
Jean, my husband and I have not been a fan of any breakfast cup recipe, but we really like the egg/sausage ones with sage sausage.
Stacy, I plan to change up their coop bedding as soon as they move to the new coop. I still have one laying on the ground, but get out to get the egg before any of them crack it or eat it.
Jodi, thank you. If you go back one post, you can see a better photo of the lap afghan.
The egg cup muffins look so good! A friend should bring us eggs from her chickens next week, she says she has 'special' chickens.. we should be getting pastel colored eggs.. in the pinks, green and blue. Grandkids will love that! Have a great week
Luludou, yes they are very good. What a nice blessing to be getting some eggs from someone. Have a nice week.
