This recipe is crafted for mornings when you want festive flavor, a light and fluffy texture, and real nourishment without relying on heavy syrups or sugary add-ons. Thanks to pumpkin pur&eacute;e and molasses, these waffles carry natural sweetness and depth while still staying balanced. And with no dairy-based cream cheese needed in the batter, this version works for anyone chasing more protein, fewer carbs, or avoiding dairy altogether.
<h2 dir="ltr">Why Liquid Egg Whites Make This Recipe Better</h2>
The magic of a good waffle starts with structure and texture, and the protein content of eggs plays a major role in both. <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/liquid-egg-whites">Liquid egg whites</a> deliver concentrated protein without the additional fats found in whole eggs, making them ideal for high-protein baking, scrambling, or blending into batters like this one. The result? A breakfast that holds its shape, cooks evenly, and leaves you feeling energized, not weighed down.
Even better, <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/liquid-egg-whites">liquid egg whites</a> help eliminate the mess and time spent cracking eggs individually &mdash; giving you a smoother process from mixing bowl to waffle iron.

Apple Frittata with Pasture Raised Eggs – A Cozy Fall Recipe

Scrambled eggs are one of the simplest breakfasts you can make&mdash;but they&rsquo;re also one of the easiest to get wrong. Too often, they end up rubbery, bland, or overcooked. According to lifestyle icon Martha Stewart, the key to truly delicious scrambled eggs isn&rsquo;t just technique&mdash;it&rsquo;s starting with really good eggs. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/8d14a7a0-e2d8-4171-86a7-718a53904773.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Martha Stewart Scrambled Eggs 10">
At Chino Valley Ranchers, we couldn&rsquo;t agree more. That&rsquo;s why we always reach for our <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/pasture-raised-organic">Organic Pasture Raised Eggs</a> when making the perfect scramble. These eggs are more than just an ingredient&mdash;they&rsquo;re the foundation of flavor, nutrition, and quality that transforms your breakfast into something extraordinary.
<h2 dir="ltr">Why Pasture Raised Eggs Make the Difference</h2>
When hens are raised on open pastures with plenty of room to roam, the difference shows up right in the egg. Our <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/pasture-raised-organic">Organic Pasture Raised Eggs</a> come from hens that enjoy sunshine, fresh air, and a natural lifestyle&mdash;all of which contribute to yolks that are deep golden, creamy, and packed with flavor.
Nutritionally, pasture raised eggs are also a powerhouse. They deliver:
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
High-quality protein to fuel busy mornings
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Rich Omega-3s and vitamins for balanced nutrition
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Unbeatable taste and texture that elevate even the simplest dish
</li>
</ul>
<h2 dir="ltr">How to Perfect Your Scramble</h2>
Of course, great eggs deserve the right technique. For scrambled eggs that are creamy, light, and tender, follow these tips:
<ol>
<li>Whisk well &mdash; Beat the eggs until smooth to incorporate air for fluffiness. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/9072aa3b-7445-4bee-a9e2-e1546b096b9b.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Martha Stewart Scrambled Eggs 2"> </li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">Use gentle heat &mdash; Cooking eggs low and slow keeps them soft and custardy. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/f430f2b1-8ef9-4e44-b9a5-40b4403cb8e2.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Martha Stewart Scrambled Eggs 3"></li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Stir constantly &mdash; Use a spatula to gently fold and stir, preventing overcooking. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/5f017099-db23-4d6d-9354-33cb2cf85954.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Martha Stewart Scrambled Eggs 4">
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Season last &mdash; Add salt and pepper right before serving to maintain their soft texture. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/aa12d9c0-3f1c-4be3-a403-050efb873485.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Martha Stewart Scrambled Eggs 5">

<h2 dir="ltr">Instructions</h2>
1. Smash the chorizo Take a small tortilla and press raw chorizo directly onto one side in a thin, even layer. This ensures every bite is loaded with flavor and gets that golden, crispy edge when cooked. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/d1c8f335-31c1-4c1c-a833-c61784a5f249.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Chorizo Breakfast Smash Tacos 3">
2. Crisp it up Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the tortilla chorizo-side down and cook until the meat is crisp and sizzling, and the edges of the tortilla turn golden. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/b79a3b50-57b1-4a3b-a32f-7febd7c4c65f.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Chorizo Breakfast Smash Tacos 4">
3. Scramble the eggs While your tortilla is cooking, heat another pan over medium and add a little oil or butter. Crack in your <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/pasture-raised-organic">organic pasture raised egg</a>, season with salt and pepper, and whisk in the chopped green onion. Cook until soft and fluffy. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/e391589f-1843-47da-85f3-c95ca2a21cd6.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Chorizo Breakfast Smash Tacos 2">
4. Flip &amp; warm Flip your tortilla briefly to warm the non-chorizo side, then remove from the pan. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/125756ea-a09f-48b7-9d63-74bad383d947.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Chorizo Breakfast Smash Tacos 5">

Gently stir in &frac12; cup of the blueberry sauce, reserving the rest for topping.
<h3 dir="ltr">Step 3: Cook the Pancakes</h3>

<a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/pasture-raised-liquid-whole-eggs">Chino Valley Ranchers Pasture Raised Liquid Whole Eggs</a>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
1 large burrito-size tortilla
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Salt &amp; pepper to taste
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Oil for the pan (avocado or olive oil works great)
</li>
</ul>
<h2 dir="ltr">Filling suggestions:</h2>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Cheddar cheese slices
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Cream cheese and red onion
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Fresh spinach
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Pesto and cooked chicken breast
</li>
</ul>
<h2 dir="ltr">How to Make It</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Start the base: Heat a lightly oiled large skillet over medium heat. Pour in a generous amount of Chino Valley Ranchers Liquid Whole Eggs. Season with a little salt and pepper and let the eggs cook for about 30 seconds&mdash;just enough to begin setting.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Add the tortilla: Press a large tortilla directly into the semi-cooked eggs in the skillet. Once the eggs are fully set and bonded to the tortilla, flip it over and toast the tortilla side for another 30&ndash;60 seconds until lightly golden.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Prep to fold: Remove the tortilla egg from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board. Cut a single slice halfway up from the bottom to the center. Mentally divide the wrap into four quadrants.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Fill each quarter: Add your favorite ingredients to each of the four sections. For example:
</li>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="2">
Section 1: Cheddar cheese
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="2">
Section 2: Cream cheese and sliced red onion
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="2">
Section 3: Spinach
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="2">
Section 4: Pesto and chicken
</li>
</ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Fold and toast: Starting with the first section, fold it over the second, then continue folding clockwise until you&rsquo;ve formed a layered triangle. Return to the skillet to toast both sides until golden and warmed through.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Slice and serve: Cut the triangle in half and dig in!
</li>

2 tsp avocado oil

<h2 dir="ltr">Instructions</h2>
Step 1: Prep the "Pickle Bread" Preheat your oven to 400&deg;F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Dry the Pickles Use a paper towel to pat the pickle slices dry. This step is important&mdash;it helps the cheesy "bread" crisp up nicely in the oven.

Step 3: Build the Base On the baking sheet, sprinkle half the cheese into two rectangles (these will be your top and bottom "slices"). Arrange 4 pickle slices on each rectangle. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the pickles.

Step 4: Bake Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Let them cool on the sheet before removing&mdash;this makes them easier to handle and extra crispy.

Step 5: Fry the Eggs Heat avocado oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Crack in your Chino Valley Ranchers eggs and season with salt and pepper. Fry to your preferred doneness, then set aside.

Step 6: Assemble the Sandwich On one cheesy pickle "bread" slice, spread mayo and mustard, then layer with lettuce, tomato, onion, deli ham, and the fried eggs. Top with the second pickle cheese layer.

<h2 dir="ltr">Instructions:</h2>
1. Bake the Potatoes Preheat your oven to 400&deg;F. Clean the potatoes by wiping them with a dry towel, then pierce each a few times with a knife to allow steam to escape. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 50&ndash;60 minutes, or until tender all the way through. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/361e300f-ed21-4550-ae30-d228a35381bb.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Twice Baked Loaded Breakfast Potatoes 2">
2. Scoop and Mash Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Slice each one in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the insides into a large bowl, leaving a small amount of flesh to help the skins hold their shape. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/6958b153-bc21-4ed2-8110-daa938c1787c.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Twice Baked Loaded Breakfast Potatoes 4">
3. Mix the Filling Add the butter, milk, chives, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the potato flesh. Mash and stir until creamy and well combined. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/8c989f4f-4a94-4be8-8902-dc328055f0e5.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Twice Baked Loaded Breakfast Potatoes 3">
4. Refill the Potatoes Spoon the mashed mixture back into each potato skin, creating a small divot in the center of each.
5. Load and Crack the Eggs Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese into each potato, then add &frac12; slice of bacon. Carefully crack <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/organic-omega-3-soy-free">one Chino Valley Ranchers egg</a> into each potato half. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/eb57833a-dc4b-44dd-b473-50592ea883e7.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Twice Baked Loaded Breakfast Potatoes 6">
6. Bake Again Place the loaded potatoes back into the oven and bake for 15&ndash;20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to your liking. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/a94825c9-3c09-48b5-8d27-f8ececd5bdad.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Twice Baked Loaded Breakfast Potatoes 7">

Twice Baked Loaded Breakfast Potatoes

It&rsquo;s simple, crave-worthy, and great for breakfast, brunch, or a midday pick-me-up. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/6e77530b-8b2d-44b7-b24d-22095829db3d.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Hashbrown Avocado Toast 12">

<h2 dir="ltr">How to Make Salsa Verde Eggs:</h2>
<ol>

<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Add the Eggs: Crack 2 eggs into small bowls (this makes it easier to gently slide them into the salsa).

<h2 dir="ltr">Why Pasture-Raised Eggs Matter:</h2>
At Chino Valley Ranchers, our <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/pasture-raised">pasture-raised</a> hens roam free on fresh grass, producing eggs that are not only more flavorful but also packed with nutrients like omega-3s and vitamin D. When you're making a dish where eggs are the star, like this one, you really can taste the difference.

<h2 dir="ltr">Instructions:</h2>
1. Prep the Base Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, green onion, onion powder, and sea salt.
<img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/acbef61f-0c47-4052-b40c-716de4e894c0.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Eggs Benedict Casserole 2 (1)">
2. Assemble the Casserole Add the diced Canadian bacon and English muffin pieces into the baking dish. Pour the <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/pasture-raised">egg</a> mixture evenly over the top, gently pressing the bread down into the liquid so it&rsquo;s fully soaked. Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate overnight. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/81cb39d7-45c7-4659-80a2-0eedbab07dce.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Eggs Benedict Casserole 3 (1)">

3. Bake the Next Day The next morning, preheat your oven to 375&deg;F. Bake the casserole with the foil on for 35 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10&ndash;15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/26528cf9-6295-4831-87f3-5e585572fa96.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Eggs Benedict Casserole 5 (1)">
4. Make the Hollandaise While the casserole is cooling slightly, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk and Hollandaise mix over medium heat. Add the butter and stir constantly as it comes to a gentle boil. Let it bubble for about 1 minute, until thickened.

5. Serve &amp; Enjoy! Cut the casserole into slices and serve with a generous drizzle of warm hollandaise sauce. Garnish with chopped green onion and a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color and flavor.

<h2 dir="ltr">Pro Tip:</h2>
You can also double the hollandaise if your crew loves extra sauce (because, who doesn&rsquo;t?). Pair this dish with a fresh fruit salad, roasted asparagus, and mimosas for the perfect Easter spread.
Our <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/pasture-raised">pasture-raised eggs</a> come from hens that roam freely, pecking at grass, bugs, and enjoying sunshine&mdash;which results in vibrant yolks and incredible flavor. When you&rsquo;re making something as egg-forward as this dish, quality matters.

2. Create the Mold Cut off the top of your egg carton. Gently press the flattened clay sheet into the bottom half of the carton to form the mold shape. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/63b892fa-6186-42d8-ade3-0c700637b0e2.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="DIY Egg Holder 4">
3. Trim the Edges Using scissors or a clay tool, cut away any excess clay along the edges for a clean, finished look. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/b8302672-0c5d-498f-8454-5295c3623b84.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="DIY Egg Holder 5">
4. Bake the Clay Carefully remove the molded clay from the carton and bake it according to the instructions on your clay packaging. Make sure it&rsquo;s fully cured. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/10a8721b-5ff0-4fbe-9b79-fcde222eb0a8.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="DIY Egg Holder 6">
5. Let It Cool Once baked, allow the clay to cool completely before moving on to the painting steps. 6. Paint It White Paint a base coat of white acrylic paint over the entire egg holder. Let it dry thoroughly. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/8849c05c-0210-4c3b-90a9-2adeedbf3306.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="DIY Egg Holder 7">
7. Add Floral Details Use colorful acrylic paints to decorate the egg holder with spring-inspired flowers like daisies, tulips, and sunflowers. Get creative! <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/6939d7b9-fe49-43ac-a8a7-e740cc79cc6d.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="DIY Egg Holder 8">
8. Seal It Once all your paint is dry, seal your design with a layer of Mod Podge to protect the colors and give it a slight sheen.
9. Display &amp; Enjoy! Let the Mod Podge dry completely, then place your eggs in the holder and show it off! It&rsquo;s a beautiful way to celebrate the season and reuse your egg cartons in a fun, sustainable way. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/3a40cde6-2808-4f3d-9b41-ede438418bfa.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="DIY Egg Holder 10">

Our <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/humane-harvest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Humane Harvest eggs</a> come from hens raised in free-roaming environments and fed a pure vegetarian diet consisting of premium grains, seeds, and meal.

If you love egg-in-a-hole, make a heart-shaped version! Use the large heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the bread, then use the small heart-shaped cookie cutter to make a smaller heart in the center.
Heat a skillet, add butter, and toast the heart-shaped bread. Crack the egg into the center heart and cook until the egg whites are mostly set. Flip and cook for 1-2 more minutes on the second side.

Game Day Deviled Egg Flight: 12 Flavor Variations to Try

Cloud bread pizza is a fantastic alternative to regular pizza for anyone looking to increase their protein, and lower their carbohydrates. It is delicious and can be topped with your favorite pizza toppings. Enjoy the entire pizza and get 42 grams of protein along with it!
<img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/73767f78-6ba7-4401-ab14-f49b23d379d8.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Cloud Bread Pizza 16">
<h2 dir="ltr">High Protein Cloud Bread Pepperoni Pizza</h2>
A cloud bread pizza crust is made by whipping egg whites until stiff. Cornstarch or arrowroot powder is added to give the crust stability, while the dried herbs add delicious flavor to it.
Once baked, the result leaves you with a light and airy crust with crisp edges. Top with pizza sauce, pepperoni and mozzarella for a satisfying meal!
Our <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/liquid-egg-whites" target="_blank" rel="noopener">100% Liquid Organic Egg Whites</a> come from hens that live on free-range farms and fed only the finest organic (non-GMO) grains &amp; seeds from certified pesticide-free fields. You won&rsquo;t find any additives or artificial ingredients in our cartons - just naturally fat free and cholesterol free egg whites.
<h2 dir="ltr">More flavors to try</h2>
While pepperoni is a classic topping, feel free to mix it up and try different flavors!
Make it a vegetarian pizza by sauteing mushrooms and spinach to add instead of pepperoni.
Turn it into a meat lover's pizza by adding Italian sausage and ham along with the pepperoni as well.
Mix it up by making a pesto chicken pizza. The pizza possibilities are endless!
One thing to remember when selecting your toppings is to not overload the pizza with them. Since the crust is more light and airy, you don&rsquo;t want to weigh it down with too many toppings.

<h2 dir="ltr">Overnight Whole Wheat Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls</h2>
Making homemade cinnamon rolls is definitely more work than simply opening up a tube from the grocery store, but it is SO worth it.
One, they taste way better. Two, while it is more work, you&rsquo;ll find it&rsquo;s not challenging, it just takes some time. And three, you can make it in advance so that all you have to do in the morning is bake your cinnamon rolls and frost!
Our <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/pasture-raised">pasture raised eggs</a> come exclusively from hens who enjoy the many benefits of sunshine, fresh air and water, and lots of room to roam on family farms.
<h2 dir="ltr">Do you have to raise the cinnamon rolls overnight?</h2>
You do not have to let the cinnamon rolls rise overnight. If you want to bake them sooner, after you form the cinnamon rolls and place them in the baking dish, cover them and allow the rolls to rise for 2-3 hours, or until they&rsquo;ve almost doubled in size. Once risen, bake away!

<h2 dir="ltr">Cut Out Sugar Cookies with Royal Icing</h2>
There is something so special about cut out sugar cookies around the holidays. Maybe it&rsquo;s the fun and festive shapes, but they are a staple in our Christmas cookie boxes.
They bring cheer and joy, and are extra fun for kids to decorate. We start with a super simple minimal ingredient cookie dough recipe. It really can&rsquo;t get easier than this one. Once the cookies are baked, we make royal icing to decorate!
Our <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/veg-a-fed-omega-3">Veg-a-Fed Omega-3</a> eggs come from hens raised in free roaming environments and fed a special vegetarian diet that contains flax seed which is naturally high in Omega-3 fatty acids. Each egg gives you 225mg of ALA Omega-3s.
<h2 dir="ltr">What is Royal Icing?</h2>
Royal icing is made with powdered sugar, <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/liquid-egg-whites">egg whites</a>, and vanilla extract. It creates a smooth and hard icing on cookies that looks professional. Royal icing is perfect for cut out cookies because you can easily pile the icing around the edges and fill it in
Our <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/liquid-egg-whites">Cage Free 100% Liquid Egg Whites</a> are fully pasteurized making them a safe option to add to an uncooked recipe like the royal icing we&rsquo;re making today!

</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the flour and salt, beating for about 1 minute, until combined.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Take the dough and shape it into a round disc shape, wrapping in plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/20e0ee7e-649e-49e1-9324-488831cf6422.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Cut out Sugar Cookies 3">
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Onto a floured surface roll the cookie dough out with a rolling pin until it&rsquo;s &frac14; thick. Use cookie cutters to cut the shapes and carefully transfer the cookies to the baking sheets. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/7c6997d5-10f7-4b11-b9e4-d228f104312d.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Cut out Sugar Cookies 4"> <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/b8777565-7a7b-4928-ab41-63837c0440e0.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Cut out Sugar Cookies 5">
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Bake cookies for 8-12 minutes (depending on the size) or until the edges are just barely beginning to get golden. Let the cookies cool fully before transferring to a wire rack. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/c0bedd87-048b-40df-ae7e-8b87e31054e3.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Cut out Sugar Cookies 6">
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
To make royal icing, add the egg white and vanilla in a medium bowl and add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar in, mixing until fully combined. Continue adding 2-3 tablespoons of powdered sugar at a time, mixing fully each time. Keep doing this until you use the full 1 &frac14; - 1 &frac12; cups, or until the mixture is thick enough that it forms peaks that do not fall back into the icing. If desired, add food coloring to make different colors. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/53b4fb55-db24-4cdf-b18a-787890e088d3.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Cut out Sugar Cookies 7">
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Add the royal icing into a piping bag and decorate the cookies. The royal icing will harden after 1-2 hours. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/d58b23d0-af45-4b73-8029-6bc1aeea7710.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Cut out Sugar Cookies 8">
</li>
</ol>
<h2 dir="ltr">Can you freeze the dough?</h2>
Yes, absolutely! Cookie dough freezes and stores well. Simple freeze in the disc shape and place in the fridge overnight before you want to enjoy the cookies. Because you need to roll out the dough, you won&rsquo;t be able to roll it from frozen - some defrosting is necessary.

Cut Out Sugar Cookies with Royal Icing

Latkes are a beloved tradition during Hanukkah, bringing families together to enjoy crispy, golden potato pancakes. Simple, versatile, and utterly delicious, latkes are made with grated potatoes, onions, and eggs, fried to perfection, and often served with sour cream or applesauce. Whether you're celebrating Hanukkah or just looking for a comforting dish, this recipe will guide you to latke perfection.
<img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/59812258-63b4-4bdf-9fb9-557d352675c4.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Latkes 5">
<h2 dir="ltr">What Are Latkes?</h2>
Latkes are a traditional Jewish food often enjoyed during Hanukkah. The crispy texture on the outside combined with a tender, flavorful inside makes them an irresistible treat. This easy-to-follow recipe ensures you'll have perfect latkes every time.
<h2 dir="ltr">Potato Latkes Recipe</h2>
<h2 dir="ltr">Ingredients</h2>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
4 Yukon Gold potatoes
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
&frac12; white onion
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
1 <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/organic-omega-3-soy-free">Chino Valley Ranchers Soy Free Corn Free Organic Omega-3 Egg</a>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
2 tbsp flour
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
&frac12; tsp sea salt
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Avocado oil for frying
</li>
</ul>
<h2 dir="ltr">Directions</h2>
1. Grate and Prep the Potatoes and Onion: Using a box grater, shred the potatoes and onion over a large kitchen towel. Once shredded, wrap them in the towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible into a bowl. This step is key to achieving crispy latkes!
2. Mix the Latke Batter:&nbsp;Transfer the grated potatoes and onion to a clean bowl. Add the egg, flour, and sea salt. Stir until the mixture is fully combined.
3. Heat the Oil:&nbsp;In a large skillet, heat enough avocado oil over medium heat to coat the bottom of the pan. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
4. Cook the Latkes:&nbsp;Scoop large mounds of the potato mixture into the skillet, gently pressing down to form an even, pancake-like shape. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Drain and Repeat:&nbsp;Remove the cooked latkes and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to soak up excess oil. Repeat with the remaining mixture until all the latkes are cooked.
6. Serve and Enjoy:&nbsp;Latkes are best enjoyed fresh and hot. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, minced chives, or a side of applesauce for a sweet contrast.

<h2 dir="ltr">Ingredients</h2>
<h2 dir="ltr">For the Casserole:</h2>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
6 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
4 roasted sweet potatoes, flesh removed
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
1 <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/pasture-raised">Chino Valley Ranchers Pasture Raised egg</a>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
&frac14; cup maple syrup
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
2 tsp vanilla extract
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
1 tsp cinnamon
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
&frac12; tsp sea salt
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
For the Topping:
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
&frac34; cup rolled oats
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
&frac34; cup pecans, chopped
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
3 tbsp cane sugar
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
1 tbsp cinnamon
</li>
</ul>
How to Make It Step 1: Brown the Butter
Start by adding butter to a small pan over medium heat. Allow it to melt, and then whisk continuously as it begins to bubble and crackle. The butter will start to darken and release a nutty aroma. After 5-8 minutes, you&rsquo;ll notice golden amber hues and dark flecks forming at the bottom of the pan. That&rsquo;s your browned butter! Remove from heat and let it cool.
Step 2: Prepare the Sweet Potato Base
Preheat your oven to 350&deg;F. Lightly grease a square baking dish.
In a large bowl, mash the roasted sweet potatoes until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons of the browned butter, along with the egg, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and sea salt. Mix until well combined, then pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Step 3: Make the Topping

Make Ahead Crockpot Breakfast Casserole

Spaghetti carbonara is a creamy pasta dish made with bacon, eggs, garlic, cheese and pasta water. While minimal ingredients are used, the flavor is outstanding, and a comforting dish worth repeating. We&rsquo;ll walk you through exactly how to make a classic dish!
<img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/a8a38d5c-945c-4faf-8fe3-49760f2fedf0.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Carbonara 14">
<h2 dir="ltr">Easy Spaghetti Carbonara At Home</h2>
You don&rsquo;t have to go out to an Italian restaurant to enjoy delicious carbonara! Once you learn how truly simple it is to make and taste the deliciousness, it&rsquo;ll become a staple recipe.
The light pasta sauce is made by combining eggs and cheese together and using the heat from the hot pasta and pasta water to warm the eggs into a buttery sauce.
Our <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/humane-harvest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Humane Harvest eggs</a> come from hens raised in free-roaming environments and fed a pure vegetarian diet consisting of premium grains, seeds &amp; meal.
<h2 dir="ltr">Bacon or Pancetta?</h2>
Our recipe calls for thick-cut bacon, which is easily found at a regular grocery store. Traditionally pancetta is used to make carbonara.
What is the difference between the two?
Both are pork products and they are very similar, but the key difference is that bacon is smoked, whereas pancetta is cured with salt. They give a similar taste in this dish, but since pancetta is not smoked, it has a bit of a deeper and richer flavor compared to bacon.
While we call for bacon below, feel free to use pancetta in its place or experiment and see which you prefer more!

<h2 dir="ltr">How to make carbonara at home</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until &ldquo;al dente&rdquo;. Before draining the noodles, set aside 1 cup of the hot pasta water to use as part of the sauce. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/bfd4f23c-d4ad-4d4e-94e0-95dcebb24037.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Carbonara 4">

<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Turn off the heat. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/e65fc962-8dcf-4d43-b487-a384d8b37ec6.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Carbonara 3">

</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Add the hot drained pasta into the pan with the bacon, along with ⅓ cup of the hot pasta water. Toss to combine and immediately pour the egg/cheese mixture over the noodles and toss the noodles continuously. The heat from the noodles warms the eggs and cheese to create a creamy sauce. Add more pasta water if needed, up to the 1 cup set aside. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/361abbff-ff28-4b1b-8e36-61383e7bdba2.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Carbonara 5"> <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/bdbddf86-1738-44d3-b05f-b401775d9333.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Carbonara 6"> <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/c6b818b5-1411-4333-939f-fd65a752b7e3.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Carbonara 7"> <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/e49b7154-44b0-418a-814b-e0472ff68108.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Carbonara 8">

</ol>
<h2 dir="ltr">How to store</h2>
Store leftover carbonara in an airtight container once fully cooled to room temperature. You can reheat the pasta in a warm pot or in the microwave. You&rsquo;ll want to add some additional liquid (water or cream) when rewarming as the sauce will soak into the noodles. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/d79cdf8f-4abd-4966-961c-d8872d3985f4.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Carbonara 15">

<h2 dir="ltr">INGREDIENTS:</h2>
<h2 dir="ltr">For the Coffee Cr&egrave;me Anglaise:</h2>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">1 1/2 cups <a href="https://ripplefoods.com/collections/all#ripple-dairy-free-half-half" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ripple Foods Half &amp; Half</a></li>
<li dir="ltr">1/4 cup ground <a href="https://www.jimsorganiccoffee.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jim&rsquo;s Organic Coffee, such as Jo-Jo&rsquo;s Java</a></li>
<li dir="ltr">3 <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/pasture-raised" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chino Valley Ranchers Organic &amp; Pasture Raised Egg yolks</a></li>
<li dir="ltr">1&frasl;4 cup granulated sugar</li>
<li dir="ltr">1/2 teaspoon kosher salt</li>
</ul>
<h2>For the Pancakes:</h2>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">1 1/2 cups <a href="https://birchbenders.com/collections/pancake-waffle-mix/products/organic-classic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Birch Benders Organic Classic Pancake Mix</a></li>
<li dir="ltr">1 1/3 cups water</li>
<li dir="ltr">2 tablespoons <a href="https://dignitycoconuts.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dignity Coconuts Raw Coconut Oil</a>, for cooking the pancakes, divided</li>
<li dir="ltr">2 (2.82 &ndash; ounce) <a href="https://www.alterecofoods.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alter Eco Chocolate Bars</a> of choice, chopped into small 1&frasl;4&rdquo; chunks</li>
</ul>
<h2 dir="ltr">PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:</h2>
1. Pour the <a href="https://ripplefoods.com/collections/all#ripple-dairy-free-half-half" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ripple Foods Half &amp; Half</a> in a small <a href="https://www.greenpan.us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GreenPan saucepan</a> and place on the stovetop&nbsp;over medium heat. Cook, stirring regularly, until just beginning to steam lightly (taking&nbsp;care not to let it boil). Stir in the <a href="https://www.jimsorganiccoffee.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jim&rsquo;s Organic Coffee</a> and set aside for up to 10 minutes to steep.
2. In a separate heat-proof mixing bowl, whisk together the <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/pasture-raised" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chino Valley Ranchers Organic &amp; Pasture Raised Egg yolks</a> along with the granulated sugar until pale yellow and thickened.
3. Strain the half &amp; half to remove the grounds. Return the infused half &amp; half back to the&nbsp;saucepan (cleaned first to get rid of any residual grounds), and gently reheat to steaming again.
4. Slowly pour about half of the heated half &amp; half into the yolk mixture, while whisking&nbsp;constantly, to gently raise the temperature of the egg yolks without cooking them. Pour the&nbsp;tempered egg mixture, along with the salt, into the saucepan with the remaining half &amp; half and&nbsp;whisk to combine.
5. Return the saucepan to the stovetop over medium-low heat and cook for 8 to 10 minutes,&nbsp;stirring constantly, or until it thickens slightly &ndash; to the point where it nicely coats the back of a&nbsp;spoon. If needed, slightly increase the heat but be careful not to cook at too high a heat. Remove from the heat and pour into a clean heatproof bowl, straining if needed if you notice any small lumps. Set the coffee cr&egrave;me anglaise aside, covered, to cool slightly while cooking the pancakes.
6. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk to combine the <a href="https://birchbenders.com/collections/pancake-waffle-mix/products/organic-classic?variant=12164014800963" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Birch Benders Organic Classic Pancake&nbsp;Mix</a> and water until mostly smooth, with only a few very small lumps remaining. Cover and set&nbsp;aside to rest for 5 minutes.
7. Place a large <a href="https://www.greenpan.us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GreenPan frypan</a> on the stovetop over medium heat, and lightly coat the&nbsp;surface with a teaspoon of <a href="https://dignitycoconuts.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dignity Coconuts Raw Coconut Oil</a>. Once the frypan is hot, scoop&nbsp;1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, and sprinkle some of the chopped chunks of <a href="https://www.alterecofoods.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alter Eco&nbsp;Chocolate</a> evenly across the surface of each pancake.
8. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set. Flip&nbsp;and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown on both sides and&nbsp;cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter and chopped chocolate.
9. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with a bit more chopped chocolate, a drizzle of the&nbsp;coffee cr&egrave;me anglaise, and a cup of freshly brewed coffee!
<h2 dir="ltr">TIPS:</h2>
Slow and steady wins the race when making the cr&egrave;me anglaise! If the yolks get heated too high or too fast, you&rsquo;ll end up with scrambled egg pieces in your sauce, so err on the side of caution when cooking for a perfectly silky and smooth texture!
The right temperature is the name of the game when cooking pancakes &ndash; so don&rsquo;t hesitate to turn the heat up or down a little to help you get that perfect golden-brown color.

Apple Pie Protein Cheesecake Bites: A Healthy Twist on a Fall Favorite

Picture this: a perfectly cooked hard boiled egg wrapped in savory sausage and dipped in pecan crumbs, all baked together to create an impressive breakfast. Scotch eggs look challenging to make, but once you start you&rsquo;ll find this delicious English egg dish is easy to make, and they make a dramatic addition to breakfasts and brunches.

<h2 dir="ltr">Baked Scotch Eggs with Pecan Coating</h2>
While on the outside, a scotch egg looks like an oversized meatball, the magic comes when you slice into it to see the striking layers. In the center you&rsquo;ll find a hard cooked egg, and then a layer of breakfast sausage, finishing with the nutty pecan coating.
A traditional scotch egg uses breadcrumbs, but we&rsquo;re swapping those for pecans to enhance the flavors while also making it gluten-free friendly!
Our <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/organic-omega-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Organic Omega-3 eggs</a> used in this recipe come from hens raised in free roaming environments and fed a special vegetarian diet that contains flaxseed&mdash;a grain naturally high in Omega-3 fatty acids.
<h2 dir="ltr">Start with hard boiled eggs</h2>
This recipe begins with hard boiled eggs at the center, so let&rsquo;s start by using a fool-proof, simple method that gives you easy to peel HB eggs.
Place your eggs in a single layer in a pot. Cover the eggs with at least 1 inch of cold water. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/685c3dd7-ee8e-4bc0-9bbb-3e70231ed05a.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Baked Scotch Eggs 1">
Bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat and add a lid to cover the eggs. Leave the eggs in the hot water for 15 minutes for large eggs. Leave medium sized eggs for 12 minutes, and extra large eggs for 18 minutes.
Place the hard boiled eggs in an ice bath to stop the cooking, and then peel the shells off once cooled to the touch. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/2df3f12c-f93c-44f8-9ac0-a252cce3e6ab.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Baked Scotch Eggs 2"> <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/20873931-1c1a-4bb1-b685-12ccdc02bac3.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Baked Scotch Eggs 3">

Avocado Bread with Buffalo Chicken Salad: A High-Protein Keto Meal You’ll Love

When the craving for cherry chocolate ice cream hits, make this easy homemade no-churn ice cream! Loaded with cherry sauce, fresh diced cherries, and chocolate chunks, the flavor is phenomenal. A fan favorite for a reason!
<img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/3f54167f-c33e-4025-8211-3efab93c6bb5.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Cherry Garcia Ice Cream 15">
<h2 dir="ltr">No Churn Cherry Chocolate Ice Cream</h2>
Don&rsquo;t worry if you don't have an ice cream maker at home. You are not alone, and you can still make incredible classic ice cream!
The ice cream base is made with a mixture of cream, egg yolks, and sugar, which gives it the best creamy texture. Flavored to perfection with sweet cherries and chocolate, this combination is one you&rsquo;ll want to come back to all year long. If it&rsquo;s past the fresh cherry season, use frozen sweet cherries instead.
Our <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/pasture-raised" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pasture Raised Eggs</a> used in this recipe come exclusively from hens who enjoy the many benefits of sunshine, fresh air and water, and lots of room to roam on family farms.
<h2 dir="ltr">Tempering the egg yolks</h2>
While not hard to do, if you&rsquo;ve never tempered eggs before let&rsquo;s give a quick rundown on the why and how.
Tempering eggs prevents the proteins in the egg from binding together when heated so they do not clump, scramble or curdle, but instead allows you to have a smooth consistent texture.
To temper eggs you mix a small amount of hot liquid to the egg yolks, and then gradually add all the hot liquid. By doing this slowly and with a small amount of hot liquid the eggs do not scramble and create a smooth custard to use as your ice cream base.

<h2>Ingredients:</h2>
&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;16 oz Chino Valley Ranchers Cage Free 100% <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/liquid-egg-whites" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liquid Egg Whites</a> &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;8 tbsp pesto, divided &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;1/4 tsp sea salt &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;1/4 tsp black pepper &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;4 English muffins 
<h2>Instructions:</h2>
Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly oil the paper to prevent sticking.
Mix and Bake the Egg Whites: Pour the liquid egg whites into the prepared dish. Add 4 tablespoons of pesto, sea salt, and pepper. Stir these together until well mixed. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
Add Cheese: After the initial bake, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the egg whites. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Cool and Cut: Remove from the oven and let the egg bake cool slightly for easy handling. To create perfectly sized rounds, use a wide-mouth mason jar (or a cookie cutter) to cut out rounds from the egg bake.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Toast the English muffins until golden. Spread 1 tablespoon of pesto on each muffin half. Place an egg white round on the bottom half of each muffin, adding additional toppings as desired&mdash;sliced tomatoes make a great addition!
Freezing for Later: If you&rsquo;re prepping for future use, allow the sandwiches to cool completely. Wrap each sandwich individually in an airtight wrap or place them in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3-6 months. To reheat, simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator or pop them in the microwave for a quick meal.

<h2 dir="ltr">Ingredients You'll Need:</h2>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
1.25 cups all-purpose flour - The base of your bagels.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
2 teaspoons baking powder - Helps the bagels rise and become fluffy.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
&frac12; teaspoon sea salt - Enhances the flavor.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
&frac34; cup thick plain Greek yogurt - Adds protein and a creamy texture.

2 <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/pasture-raised-organic">Chino Valley Ranchers Pasture Raised Organic Eggs</a> - Increases the protein content and enriches the taste.

<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Seasoning of your choice - Sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning for that classic bagel finish.
</li>
</ul>
<h2 dir="ltr">Step-by-Step Baking Instructions:</h2>
Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Stir these dry ingredients well to ensure even distribution.
Add Yogurt and Egg Yolks: Separate the egg yolks from the whites, setting the whites aside for later use. Add the egg yolks and Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients. Using a fork, mix until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Knead the Dough: Once mixed, use your hands to knead the mixture into a cohesive dough. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as you knead.
Shape Your Bagels: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it into four equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope, then connect the ends to form a bagel shape. Place each shaped bagel onto the prepared baking sheet.
Add the Finishing Touches: Brush the tops of the bagels with the reserved egg whites&mdash;this gives them a nice shine and helps the toppings stick. Sprinkle your chosen seasoning over each bagel.
Bake to Perfection: Place the bagels in the oven and bake for 19-22 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them.
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool on the pan for a few minutes. They're best served slightly warm, perhaps with a smear of cream cheese or a dollop of your favorite jam.

Elevate Your Breakfast with Homemade Protein Bagels

When you stroll through the egg aisle of your local supermarket, you're greeted with an array of terms like cage-free, free-range, pasture-raised, non-GMO, organic, and all-natural. It's easy to get overwhelmed by these labels, but you're not alone in feeling this way. Let's clarify what some of these terms really mean, particularly focusing on the difference between cage-free and pasture-raised eggs.
<h2 dir="ltr">What Do These Labels Mean?</h2>
Cage-Free Eggs: Approximately 90% of eggs produced in the US are from caged hens. These birds are confined to small spaces, typically 67 to 144 square inches, and are unable to roam or engage in natural behaviors. They are usually fed a diet composed mainly of corn and soy.
Cage-Free Eggs reflect a slightly better standard of living, where hens are not confined to cages but still live indoors. They have about one square foot of space per hen and are also fed a grain-based diet similar to that of caged hens, without access to the outdoors.
Free-Range Eggs: Free-range hens are given more space, up to 21.8 square feet, and some access to the outdoors, though this can be limited. Their diet also includes grains, predominantly soy and corn. Free-range standards are often aligned with organic practices, meaning the hens receive organic feed and have outdoor access.
<h2 dir="ltr">The Superiority of Pasture-Raised Eggs</h2>
<a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/pasture-raised">Pasture-Raised Eggs</a> stand out significantly in this lineup. At Chino Valley Ranchers, our pasture-raised hens enjoy at least 108 square feet of outdoor pastureland each. This space isn't just open&mdash;it's filled with native grasses, seeds, bugs, and worms, providing a natural diet that hens are meant to eat. Our hens revel in the outdoors from early morning, enjoying activities like dust-bathing and basking in the sunshine.
This lifestyle not only ensures the well-being of the hens but also enhances the nutritional content of the eggs they produce. Pasture-raised eggs have been shown to contain higher levels of Vitamin E, Vitamin D, and a more balanced ratio of omega-3 fatty acids compared to conventional eggs. The rich, vibrant orange color of pasture-raised egg yolks is not only visually appealing but also an indicator of higher nutritional quality, making them a favorite among top chefs for both their color and superior taste.
<h2 dir="ltr">Why Choose Pasture-Raised Eggs?</h2>
When it comes to choosing eggs, the differences in hen living conditions and diet translate directly to differences in egg quality and nutritional benefits. Opting for <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/pasture-raised">pasture-raised eggs</a> means supporting a farming practice that is closer to nature&rsquo;s intent. These eggs are not only better for you but also represent a more humane and sustainable approach to egg production.
So, next time you find yourself puzzled in front of the egg shelf, remember that choosing pasture-raised eggs is a step towards a healthier lifestyle and a more sustainable world.

Want to mix up your traditional deviled eggs? Spice it up with this buffalo ranch variation! While only made with 4 ingredients, they taste like something special.

<h2 dir="ltr">Buffalo Ranch Deviled Eggs</h2>
We&rsquo;re swapping the traditional mayonnaise and mustard combo for an extra delicious combination - buffalo sauce and ranch dressing. The cooling ranch paired with the heat in the buffalo sauce works so well with our eggs. You&rsquo;ll want to repeat this combo over and over again!
We started by hard boiling eggs in the instant pot for a super hands off option. You can of course cook them any way you&rsquo;d like, but if you&rsquo;ve never tried pressure cooker hard boiled eggs, give it a try!
Our <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/humane-harvest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Humane Harvest eggs</a> come from hens raised in free roaming environments and fed a pure vegetarian diet consisting of premium grains, seeds &amp; meal.
<h2 dir="ltr">How to hard boil eggs in the instant pot</h2>
In the base of your instant pot, add the trivet insert along with 1 cup of cold water. Add as many eggs as you&rsquo;d like to hardboil.
<img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/2b875565-672c-4623-8fc8-c2296f591df2.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="Buffalo Ranch Deviled Eggs 1">
Place the lid on with the vent sealed, and pressure cook on manual for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, place a towel over the vent and open it up for a quick release.

Once all the pressure has been released, remove the hard boiled eggs with tongs from the instant pot and immediately place them in a bowl of water and ice. Once cooled to the touch, they will easily peel.

All the components in these breakfast tacos can be prepped in advance. Cook the eggs slightly less if you plan to warm them in a skillet later so as to not be left with dry eggs.
The crispy cheesy tortillas can be prepped, stored in an airtight container in the fridge, then crisped in a skillet before warming.
The tomato/avocado mixture can also be prepared in advance, however, you&rsquo;ll want to add extra lime juice to prevent the avocado from browning or simply wait to add to the avocado until right before serving.

Breakfast Tacos with Crispy Cheesy Tortillas

The summer season is officially here. It&rsquo;s the perfect time to enjoy everything warm and sunny&mdash;including your breakfast! There&rsquo;s something inherently bright and cheerful about a perfectly cooked sunny side up egg. Its golden yolk shines brightly like the summer sun. This simple yet delightful dish is a great breakfast staple, but it may take some practice to prepare sunny side eggs just right. In addition, you may want to get a little creative with your seasonings and sides for the perfect complementary flavors.
The Perfect Sunny Side Up Egg Creating the ideal sunny side up egg is an art form. The goal is a white that has just the right amount of tenderness with a vibrant, runny yolk in the middle. Here&rsquo;s a simple recipe to get you started:
Ingredients: &ndash; 2 large Chino Valley Ranchers organic eggs &ndash; 1 tablespoon of butter or a splash of olive oil &ndash; Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions: 1. Preheat Your Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over low to medium heat and let it warm up for a minute or two. 2. Add Butter or Oil: Melt the butter or heat the oil in the skillet, ensuring it coats the entire cooking surface. 3. Crack the Eggs: Gently crack the eggs into a small bowl, making sure not to break the yolks. Carefully slide the eggs into the skillet. Skilled chefs may opt to crack the eggs directly into the pan. 4. Cook Slowly:&nbsp;Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes. The whites should set while the yolks remain bright and runny. If you prefer a slightly firmer yolk, cover the skillet for the last minute of cooking. 5. Season and Serve: Sprinkle with salt, pepper and any other seasonings of your choosing. Then serve your sunny side up egg immediately for the best freshness and flavor.
Tip: For an extra eye-catching presentation, try using a Comet Egg from Chino Valley Ranchers. These delicious and nutritious eggs are renowned for their vibrant orange yolks&mdash;perfect for a sunny summer breakfast presentation!
Perfect Pairings for Your Sunny Side Up Eggs While a sunny side up egg is delicious on its own, pairing it with complementary dishes can elevate your breakfast to a whole new level. Avocado Toast A slice of whole-grain toast topped with creamy avocado and a sunny side up egg is a match made in breakfast heaven. The richness of the avocado balances the bright, runny yolk perfectly.
Saut&eacute;ed Veggies Lightly saut&eacute;ed summer vegetables like zucchini, onions, cherry tomatoes or bell peppers make a vibrant and nutritious side. The combination of their sweetness with the savory egg is simply delightful.
Crisp Bacon or Sausage For those who enjoy a hearty breakfast, crispy bacon or sausage links complement the egg&rsquo;s richness. Their salty, smoky flavors are a classic pairing with sunny side up eggs.

Heat your skillet over medium heat, and when hot add a little oil. Crack your eggs into individual bowls, and pour them into the pan.
Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to cook in batches. After pouring the egg into the skillet, watch as the egg white begins to cook.&nbsp;
Once the outer edges look cooked through, after 2-3 minutes, gently and with confidence, flip the egg and let it cook for 1-2 more minutes, to set the white but not to cook the egg yolk. Season with a little salt and repeat as needed!

Easy Fried Egg Burgers

Eggs are an extremely versatile food item. They can be cooked and enjoyed on their own in a wide variety of ways. They can be used for batters and coatings. They act as a binder in everything from baked goods to meat dishes. There is so much you can do with a simple egg. Plus, they offer many nutritional benefits&mdash;especially when you are using organic eggs from the happy, healthy cage-free chickens of Chino Valley Ranchers!
Ultimate Convenience However, sometimes you don&rsquo;t want to deal with cracking an egg (or several eggs) to make your favorite dishes. You may be making a quick breakfast before work or school. You might be baking something and want to minimize the mess. This is when liquid eggs are a great alternative. You get all the same nutrition and taste, but in a much more convenient package. You can pour your pre-mixed eggs right out of a carton with no shells to toss out. Whether you&rsquo;re making scrambled eggs, meatloaf, cupcakes or anything in between, liquid eggs give you just what you need exactly when you need it.
What is a Liquid Whole Egg? People often ask us if there is anything different about liquid whole eggs in a carton compared to regular eggs from a shell. These are whole eggs cracked and deshelled for your convenience. The only difference is a little bit of natural citric acid added to the mix to act as a preservative for the raw eggs in the carton. That way, they stay fresher for longer. You can keep a carton of liquid eggs on hand to use at your convenience.&nbsp;
Chino Valley Ranchers Pasture Raised Liquid Whole Eggs Chino Valley Ranchers offers Liquid Whole Eggs that come from chickens which are pasture raised for optimal health and happiness. These hens are free to roam the fields during the day, allowing them to eat grass, seeds, bugs and worms as they would in nature. They also enjoy the sunlight, bathing in the dust and resting in the shade. Our ranches provide at least 108 square feet of open land per bird.&nbsp;
Each 16-ounce pint of Chino Valley Ranchers Pasture Raised Liquid Whole Eggs is equivalent to about 10 eggs. All you need to do is shake the carton a bit before serving to make sure the yolks and whites are nicely mixed. Then, about three tablespoons (3 Tbsp) of liquid eggs is equivalent to one whole egg that you can use for any recipe that calls for mixed eggs. If you are making something that requires you to separate the whites from the yolks, you&rsquo;ll still want to use shelled eggs. Otherwise, our Liquid Whole Eggs are the perfect convenient substitute for almost&nbsp; any other recipe!
Chino Valley Ranchers 100% Organic Liquid Egg Whites If you are looking for an even healthier option or have a recipe that only calls for egg whites, you&rsquo;ll want to pick up a carton of Chino Valley Ranchers 100% Organic Liquid Egg Whites. These egg whites come from eggs which come from hens who are fed only the finest certified organic (non-GMO) grains and seeds. They are also raised in pesticide-free fields in a cage-free environment. Our egg whites are naturally fat free, cholesterol free and contain no additives or extra ingredients. Without the yolks, egg whites naturally stay preserved longer. You can keep a carton in your fridge for all your healthy cooking needs. We offer two sizes for your convenience: 16 ounces and 32 ounces.

<h2 dir="ltr">Easy Homemade Classic Vanilla Pudding Recipe</h2>
Skip the pudding box mix and try making it at home! This classic version uses <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/products/organic-omega-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">egg yolks</a> to thicken the milk into a smooth and creamy sweet pudding.
Made with 7 simple ingredients, you&rsquo;ll be amazed at how easy homemade pudding is to make.
<h2 dir="ltr">Tempering eggs</h2>
One important step when making pudding at home is to temper the egg yolks, which basically means to add a small amount of the hot milk into your egg yolks before adding the egg yolks into the pudding.
This step is important because if you simply add the egg yolks directly into the pudding mixture, you&rsquo;ll be left with scrambled eggs instead of luscious, creamy pudding.

Grated Egg Avocado Toast

Have you ever eaten quiche and wondered why you don&rsquo;t eat it way more often? Quiches are delicious, nutritious and easier to make than you might think. You can enjoy a nice quiche for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and they are an especially great dish for a Sunday brunch. All you really need is some fresh eggs, cream (or milk if you prefer) and other ingredients you can buy pre-made if you wish. Quiches are easy to make ahead of time and heat up when you are ready to eat. You can even store them in the freezer for up to 3-4 months, so you have a quick meal available whenever you want it. Here is one of our favorite classic Quiche Lorraine recipes, which you can easily customize with whichever cheese, meat and veggie fillings you like best:
A Flaky Base&mdash;The Crust It starts with the pie crust. You can make your own with flour, eggs, butter and salt. However, we recommend using store-bought 9-inch pie crusts to make it as simple and convenient as possible. You can purchase frozen crusts already in the pan or refrigerated pastry crusts to put in your own pie pan. If you like a crisper crust, you can preheat it by itself for a few minutes before adding the fillings. Otherwise, you can fill it with your ingredients and cook together. Just make sure the crust is thawed if using a frozen one!
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees as you prepare your quiche.
Ingredients For one quiche, you will need the following ingredients (multiply accordingly if preparing multiple quiches at once): &nbsp;&bull; 4 large eggs, beaten &nbsp;&bull; 1 cup shredded or cubed cheese* &nbsp;&bull; 2 cups light cream (or milk if you prefer) &nbsp;&bull; 3/4 tsp salt &nbsp;&bull; 1/4 tsp sugar &nbsp;&bull; 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
*Most classic Quiche Lorraine recipes will use gruyere or swiss cheese. Cheddar cheese (especially a nice sharp cheddar) or Colby jack also work great. Use whichever cheese you like best for taste and texture.
Flavor with Your Favorite Fillings The above ingredients make up the base for your quiche. Now, you can decide what else you want to put in it. Cubed ham, smoked turkey and bacon are all excellent choices if you want a really hearty quiche. Spinach, artichoke, zucchini, diced onions and tomatoes are tasty and colorful veggie options. Maybe even try some bell pepper or jalape&ntilde;os if you like a little extra spice. That&rsquo;s the great thing about quiches. You can make them so many different ways.&nbsp;
You&rsquo;ll usually want to use about a cup to a cup-and-a-half of meat and/or veggie fillings mixed with the cheese. Put that in your pie crust first. Then pour in your beaten egg mixture. If you aren&rsquo;t in the mood for cracking shells and mixing the eggs yourself, you can use Chino Valley Ranchers Pasture Raised Liquid Whole Eggs. These eggs come from hens raised on pastures, eating natural diets and living a happy, healthy lifestyle. We mix the eggs in a convenient carton, which is great for convenient meals like scrambled eggs, baked goods, and of course, quiches!
Otherwise, you can use any of Chino Valley Ranchers&rsquo; organic, cage-free or pasture-raised eggs for a delicious quiche recipe. You might even want to try our Comet Eggs for out-of-this world flavor and color. For a healthier alternative, you can try our 100% Organic Liquid Egg Whites without the yolks.
Baking and Serving Now that your quiche is ready to cook, put it in the preheated oven for 15 minutes at 425 degrees. From there, you will want to reduce the heat to 300 degrees and let the quiche cook for another 30 minutes. You will want to check it during the second cook time. Use a knife and insert into the filling to test if it is cooked thoroughly. Once it comes out clean, you&rsquo;ll know your quiche is ready.
Let your quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. You can garnish your Quiche Lorraine with scallions or parsley for a little extra flavor and color.&nbsp;
Quiches are easy to make and great for any meal of the day, any time of year. To find Chino Valley Ranchers egg products at a store near you, check out our <a href="https://www.chinovalleyranchers.com/store-locator" target="_blank" rel="noopener">store locator</a>.

Our top priority at Chino Valley Ranchers is producing the highest quality eggs. The best way to do this is to raise healthy chickens. We have always firmly believed that happy birds lay the best eggs. One key part of this raising process is making sure the hens are fed right. We take a great deal of pride in curating the feeds that are eaten by the chickens at our farms. What they eat plays a very important role in the quality, consistency and nutritional content of the eggs they produce.&nbsp;
Why Organic Chicken Feed? All of our organic egg products come from hens who are fed purely organic diets made of non-GMO grains, seeds and proteins. We mill our own feed onsite at Southern California&rsquo;s only dedicated organic poultry feed mill. This enables us to ensure the purity and quality of the organic feeds we send out to our farms. In addition, we produce a variety of different organic feeds for different nutritional purposes.&nbsp;
Organic Omega-3 Soy-Free Corn-Free Eggs One of our most popular product lines is our Organic Omega-3 Soy-Free Corn-Free Eggs. These are laid by hens who are fed a special soy-free, corn-free diet rich in flax seed. This grain is naturally high in Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 is also known as alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), which is known to have positive health effects in humans. It is great for cardiovascular health. These eggs have the same brilliant-colored yolks and delicious taste as all our egg products but with more Omega-3 and no soy or corn.&nbsp;
Why Soy-Free and Corn-Free? Though soy is a good source of protein, it is not typically something most chickens would eat in the wild. Corn is something they like to eat, but it doesn&rsquo;t offer the same nutritional value for egg-laying hens as other grains. Our organic soy-free and corn-free chicken feed offers all the natural nutrition our free-range hens need, along with boosted Omega-3 fatty acids. This special diet helps with vitamin E, selenium, iron and zinc levels in the birds, which translates into some truly delicious and nutritious eggs.&nbsp;
We also understand some of our customers may have allergies relating to soy and corn products. Chino Valley Ranchers Organic Omega-3 Soy-Free Corn-Free Eggs provide an excellent alternative for people wanting to reduce their soy and corn consumption, while also looking for more Omega-3s.&nbsp;
Other Benefits of Organic Omega-3 Soy-Free Corn-Free Eggs Not only do our Organic Omega-3 Soy-Free Corn-Free Egg-laying hens have a specialized diet. They are raised free-range with plenty of sunshine and room for exercise and socialization. They are able to graze naturally for grains and proteins while getting the supplemental health benefits of our organic soy-free and corn-free feed. They lay beautiful brown eggs, with each one containing around 225 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids.

No Peel Egg Salad Sandwich

There are many types of eggs you can find on your supermarket shelves. Some will have different labels than others, generally related to USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) requirements and certifications. So, what exactly does it mean when an egg is labeled as USDA-Certified Organic?&nbsp;
USDA Organic Certification Egg farmers must meet certain standards for chicken feed, raising environments and other standards in order to be classified as Organic by the USDA. Four of the most important requirements include:
<ol>
<li>Cage-Free&mdash;Organically raised hens must not be confined to cages at all times. They are provided adequate room to exercise and socialize.</li>
<li>Organic Diet&mdash;The feed that the hens eat must be certified Organic in its own right, primarily meaning it is sourced from plants and proteins not grown with pesticides. The grains and seeds they are fed are all non-GMO (genetically modified organisms) products.</li>
<li>No Antibiotics or Hormones&mdash;The chickens also cannot be given any antibiotics or hormones.</li>
<li>Seasonal Outdoor Access&mdash;Lastly, hens need to be required with at least seasonal access to outdoor spaces. This enables them to forage and graze naturally.</li>
</ol>
Organic and Humane The above list represents some of the basic standards required for eggs to be certified as Organic by the USDA. Some farmers take it even further with their humane hen-raising practices. This is important to us at Chino Valley Ranchers. We strongly believe happy and healthy chickens produce better eggs. Organic eggs offer unique health benefits. They are free of pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, and GMOs. Our feeds are specially formulated for the health and well-being of our hens, with fully Organic ingredients. Our chickens have ample room to roam in cage-free conditions. As a consumer, you can rest assured you are buying quality eggs from organically and humanely raised chickens when you see the USDA-Organic label on Chino Valley Ranchers egg products.

Organic Eggs: What Makes Them Different?

Comet Eggs are truly out of this world in terms of flavor and appearance. They have become extremely popular with top chefs and bakers, as well as everyday folks who like to use Chino Valley Ranchers Comet Eggs for all sorts of delicious recipes.&nbsp;
So, what exactly is a Comet Egg? How are they produced? What makes them different than ordinary eggs?
The Origins of Comet Eggs Comet Eggs were first introduced by Chino Valley Ranchers in 2021. They wanted to have a line of eggs with an ultra-bright orange yolk, but also unique nutritional qualities associated with egg yolks of this unique hue.&nbsp;
&ldquo;We wanted to shake things up for breakfast and introduce a wild idea that would make the first meal of the day more exciting,&rdquo; says Chris Nichols, President of Chino Valley Ranchers. &ldquo;We hope our Comet Eggs will inspire a good laugh and fun conversations about the possibility of chickens inhabiting the moon and sending their bright orange yolks our way!&rdquo;
How Are Comet Eggs Produced? How Comet Eggs are produced is no laughing matter. We aren&rsquo;t conducting any mad science at our chicken farms. In fact, we use real science and biology in our humane and healthy hen-raising practices. Comet Eggs come from cage-free chickens raised on a special premium diet of specially formulated feed. This feed includes extra carotenoids, which are naturally occurring yellow-orange pigments found in nutritious vegetation like carrots and sea kelp.&nbsp;
Carotenoids include beta-carotene, lutein and xanthophyll, which are all linked to eye health. They say carrots are good for your eyes, and that is true. The science also shows that beta-carotene is known to improve cognitive function. Our Comet Egg-laying birds may be a little smarter than the average chicken. These health benefits are passed onto our consumers, with these nutritional elements from carotenoids contained inside the colorful yolks. &nbsp;Comet Eggs from Chino Valley Ranchers have zero grams of trans fat and six grams of protein, with only 70 calories per serving.
Growing Popularity Since we introduced Comet Eggs, they have become a favorite in the haute cuisine world&mdash;both here on earth and across the galaxy! Gourmet chefs love these eggs for the bright colors and nutritional qualities. Bakers love the distinctive color burst they provide baked goods. They can be used for pastas, pastries, sauces, desserts and any recipe that calls for eggs. Many people love cooking Comet Eggs for everyday home meals. You are sure to dazzle the kids in the morning if you are serving fresh-fried Comet Eggs sunny side up. Or, use Comet Eggs to make deviled eggs for your next neighborhood barbecue. You may want to wear some sunglasses, though!&nbsp;

If you love buying and using brown eggs, but aren&rsquo;t quite sure how to dye them different colors for Easter, this guide is for you! With step by step photos and detailed instructions, you&rsquo;ll learn the easy way to dye brown eggs into deep, darker colors, and lighter more pastel colors without having white-shelled eggs on hand. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/86a1b598-fa1c-476f-b8ee-a78850b0249a.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="How to Dye Brown Eggs 17">
<h2 dir="ltr">How To Dye Brown Eggs For Easter - The Ultimate Guide</h2>
Dyeing eggs is a fun tradition that not only brings beautiful color and whimsy to an Easter tablescape, it&rsquo;s a great activity to do with kids.
It can be easy to get white eggs to transform into many colors, but brown eggs can be just as beautiful.
<h2 dir="ltr">Start with hardboiled eggs</h2>
The first step in dyeing eggs for Easter is to hard boil your eggs. There are many ways to hard boil eggs, but this is a fool-proof, simple way to do it that will result in less cracked shells.
Place your eggs in a single layer in a pot. Cover the eggs at least 1 inch above with cold water.
Bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat and add a lid to cover the eggs. Leave the eggs in the hot water for 15 minutes for large eggs. Leave medium sized eggs for 12 minutes, and extra large eggs for 18 minutes.
Place the hard boiled eggs in an ice bath to stop the cooking. Now you have eggs ready to dye!

<ol>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
In small bowls, cups or jars that are heatproof, add 1 cup of boiling water, 2 teaspoons of distilled vinegar, and 15-20 drops of food coloring. If you are using gel, add about &frac14;-&frac12;&nbsp; tsp of the gel food coloring. Mix well. The cups should be quite a deep color - this will ensure that your eggs take on a good amount of color too. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/20a7d67a-902b-4f6f-ad22-414dad5a919d.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="How to Dye Brown Eggs 3">

If you are looking for a lighter color pastel Easter egg, you&rsquo;ll want to try this vinegar trick to naturally lighten your brown eggs before dying them!
<ol>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
After you hard boil the eggs, place them in a large bowl and cover the eggs with distilled vinegar. Allow the eggs to sit for 15-30 minutes in the vinegar. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/dbe436b4-1632-4060-ab78-19d446f608d2.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="How to Dye Brown Eggs 2">

</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Follow the instructions above for how to dye your lightened brown-shelled eggs!
</li>
</ol>
<h2 dir="ltr">How to store</h2>
Eggs are perishable, so they will need to be stored in the fridge once you are done dyeing hard boiled eggs.
In general, they should not be left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
Once stored in the fridge in an airtight container, they will last for up to 7 days. <img src="https://cvr-dashboard.com/assets/d2b5bc37-520e-4eaf-a098-164f320e35a2.jpg?width=600&amp;height=600" alt="How to Dye Brown Eggs 15">
<h2 dir="ltr">Tips for success</h2>
Don&rsquo;t overfill the jars - You want to make sure you leave enough space when you add water to your jars so that when you add the eggs, it does not overflow.&nbsp;
Mix to create color - If you&rsquo;re working with just primary colors of food coloring, mix yellow and red together to get orange, blue and red together to get purple, yellow and blue to get green. You can create a lot of different color variations when starting with red, blue and yellow.
This method for dyeing brown-shelled eggs will leave you with bright and colorful, or lighter more pastel colored Easter eggs. Try both methods and experiment with different colors and how long you let the eggs sit in the dye.

How To Dye Brown Eggs For Easter - The Ultimate Guide

Buying eggs is not as simple as it used to be. There are many labels and distinctions between different types of eggs. These labels can relate to how and where the hens are raised, or what kind of feed they are given. Pasture Raised is one label you might see when shopping for eggs and egg products, and it&rsquo;s one we&rsquo;re very proud to feature at Chino Valley Ranchers.
Egg Certifications There are various egg certification programs that farmers can apply for when looking for specific labels like Pasture Raised. They must meet certain requirements in order to advertise their eggs under a specific banner. Most standard eggs you see in the store for the cheapest prices will generally be cage-produced eggs. The chickens are kept in cages that are designed to collect eggs as they are laid. This is an inhumane way to raise hens, in our opinion, and it&rsquo;s against everything we stand for at Chino Valley Ranchers. It prevents the birds from engaging in natural social behavior and physical activities. This, in addition to measurable health and nutrition benefits within the eggs, is why more humane alternatives to egg production are becoming more popular.
Pasture Raised Hens Pasture Raised eggs from Chino Valley Ranchers are laid by hens who are given a lot of room to roam outside of cages and in natural pasture environments. They benefit from being able to spend time in the sunshine, with fresh air to breathe and clean water to drink on family farms. These pastures enable the chickens to socialize and forage as they would in nature. They are able to eat seeds and bugs, while roaming around on pastureland covered in grass and other vegetation
Each farm must provide at least 108 square feet of open pastureland per bird. When paired with a complete and balanced diet of premium feed, our chickens live a healthier and happier lifestyle. And in our experience, happy birds lay better eggs. Chino Valley Ranchers certified Pasture Raised eggs are some of the most delicious and nutritious eggs around. We offer several products in this category, including Pasture Raised Eggs, Pasture Raised Organic Eggs, and Pasture Raised Liquid Whole Eggs.
Humane Practices At Chino Valley Ranchers, our business has been founded on humane hen-raising and egg-collection practices. We truly believe happy birds make the best eggs. Our pasture raised eggs are proof of this philosophy. We partner with farmers with dedicated pastureland and who meet our strict standards for every aspect of the egg production process. We provide the premium feed ourselves, designed to give our chickens the best nutritional support each and every day. It shows in the quality of the eggs you can find anywhere that carries Chino Valley Ranchers pasture raised eggs.
In addition to Pasture Raised eggs, we also offer a wide range of healthy and ethically-raised eggs and egg products under various categories.

Pasture Raised Eggs: What Does This Mean?

Pasture-raised eggs are a type of egg produced by hens that are allowed to roam freely outdoors, foraging for food such as grass, insects, and seeds. Unlike conventional or cage-free eggs, which may still involve confinement in indoor spaces, producing pasture-raised eggs prioritizes the welfare of the hens by providing them with access to open pastures where they can exhibit natural behaviors and have a more varied diet.&nbsp;How Pasture Raised Eggs Are ProducedAt Chino Valley Ranchers, we’re committed to producing high-quality pasture-raised eggs. Our approach to pasture-raised egg production involves providing hens with ample outdoor space to roam and forage.

Spice Up Breakfast With 5 Omelet Recipes

Eggs are a staple breakfast ingredient, versatile and packed with protein. If you’re looking for new ways to cook eggs for breakfast, here's a guide to seven delicious options. <ol><li>Sunny-Side-Up Eggs</li></ol>Begin by heating a non-stick skillet over low to medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Once the butter is melted and hot, crack an egg into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolk. As the egg cooks, the white should become firm while the yolk remains runny. For a perfectly smooth egg white, cover the skillet with a lid. Once cooked to your preference, season with salt and pepper, then serve.<ol start="2"><li>Over-Easy Eggs</li></ol>As with sunny-side-up eggs, start by heating a non-stick skillet with some butter or oil over medium heat. Then, crack the egg into the skillet. After a minute or so, when the white is set but the yolk is still runny, carefully flip the egg using a spatula. Let it cook for another minute or less (being careful to keep the yolk runny), then serve. <ol start="3"><li>Eggs-in-a-Basket</li></ol>Using a cookie cutter or a glass, make a hole in the center of a slice of bread. Then, place the bread into a heated skillet with melted butter. Crack an egg into the hole and cook until the bread is golden brown. Then flip to cook the other side. Once done, you'll have a delicious combination of crispy bread and a perfectly cooked egg. <ol start="4"><li>Scrambled Eggs</li></ol>Whisk together eggs with a dash of milk or cream. Heat a pan with butter over low to medium heat and pour in the egg mixture, stirring constantly using a spatula. The key is to cook the eggs slowly, so they remain soft and creamy. Once they've achieved a soft curd-like consistency, season with salt, pepper, and some herbs or cheese, if desired.<ol start="5"><li>Omelet</li></ol>Whisk eggs and pour them into a hot, buttered non-stick skillet. Swirl the eggs around the pan and let them set. Once they start to firm up but are still slightly runny in the middle, add fillings like cheese, vegetables, or meats to one half. Carefully fold the other half over the fillings and continue to cook until done.<ol start="6"><li>Frittata</li></ol>Think of a frittata as a thicker, oven-finished omelet. Begin by sautéing fillings like sausage, mushrooms, or vegetables in an oven-safe skillet. Pour whisked eggs over the fillings, and cook until the edges start to set. Then transfer the skillet to an oven, preheated to around 350°F (175°C), and bake until the eggs are set in the center.<ol start="7"><li>Poached Eggs</li></ol>Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add a touch of vinegar. Crack an egg into a small bowl. Create a whirlpool in the simmering water using a spoon, and gently slide the egg into the center of the whirlpool. The swirling water helps the egg white wrap around the yolk. Cook for about 4 minutes for a soft yolk, then remove with a slotted spoon.

5 Savory Egg Recipes For Dinner

When it comes to selecting eggs for purchase at the grocery store, it’s important to consider several key characteristics to ensure the best choice for your needs and preferences. These factors include egg labels, egg grade, and egg size.Egg labelsEgg labels play a crucial role in understanding the living conditions and diets of the hens that laid the eggs. Familiarizing oneself with the various labels is essential. Conventional eggs typically come from hens kept in small cages, while cage-free eggs signify that the hens have more room to move but may still be indoors.&nbsp;Free-range eggs indicate that hens have access to the outdoors, although the specifics can vary. Organic eggs are produced following strict standards that prohibit the use of pesticides and antibiotics in both the hens and their feed. Furthermore, there are organic vegetarian-fed eggs for those looking for a diet without animal by-products. Finally, the highest-quality option is pasture-raised eggs, which come from hens that are free to roam outdoors, enjoying a more natural and enriched environment.Understanding the differences between conventional, cage-free, free-range, organic, organic vegetarian-fed, and pasture-raised eggs will help you make informed choices that align with your dietary goals and personal values.&nbsp; Egg gradeNext, shoppers should consider egg grade, which is a quality designation assigned to eggs based on their appearance, size, and freshness. Eggs are graded as AA, A, or B, with AA being the highest quality and B being the lowest. The grade reflects the egg's firmness, yolk position, and shell integrity.Egg sizeEgg size is another consideration that can vary according to personal preference and recipe requirements. Eggs are typically graded as jumbo, extra-large, large, medium, small, or peewee. Larger eggs are ideal for recipes that require more volume, while smaller ones are suitable for portion control and baking recipes that call for precise measurements.To ensure the highest quality and ethical standards, Chino Valley Ranchers eggs are a top-notch choice. Eggs are produced by hens living in spacious and natural environments, ensuring the well-being of the animals and the quality of the eggs they produce. Whether you prefer organic, cage-free, or pasture-raised eggs, Chino Valley Ranchers offers a diverse range of options to meet everyone's needs.

How to Choose The Right Eggs at The Grocery Store

This homemade key lime pie recipe from our friend <a href="" title="">Breanna @ Knead The Recipe</a> is the perfect balance of creamy, tart and sweet! The homemade graham cracker crust combined with the silky smooth key lime filling, will transport you straight to the Florida Keys after your first bite! See below!<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Lime Pie Origin</h2>Key lime pie is the state pie of Florida, and rightfully so! This classic recipe dates back to the 1800’s in Key West Florida. This area did not get fresh milk deliveries and were not accustomed to refrigeration until the 1930’s. This is why condensed milk is a key ingredient in traditional key lime pie recipes. Key limes are another staple ingredient which are smaller and less tart than regular limes which make them perfect for this recipe! I’ve created an easy key lime pie recipe that has classic flavors but also a unique twist to give it an extra creamy consistency! An authentic key lime pie recipe uses egg yolks only but I find that using whole eggs gives this pie a lighter texture and reduces food waste! How many of us actually ever use the egg whites after we separate them for a recipe? I am guilty of forgetting about them!<img src="https://i0.wp.com/www.kneadtherecipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/IMG_9137.png?resize=812%2C1083&amp;ssl=1" alt="Inside of key lime pie"><h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ingredients for Classic Key Lime Pie Recipe</h2><ul><li>Whole Eggs:&nbsp;I use&nbsp;<a href="" title="">Chino Valley Ranchers Liquid Whole Eggs</a>&nbsp;to make this pie extra rich and creamy. The eggs come from pasture raised chickens who have 108 square feet of land to roam in! They are perfectly convenient for making this pie recipe in a time crunch because you don’t even need to crack any eggs! While authentic key lime pie usually uses only yolks, I find that incorporating the whites and the yolks together creates a beautifully rich flavor that also has a light texture too!</li><li><img src="https://i0.wp.com/www.kneadtherecipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/IMG_9071.png?resize=767%2C1073&amp;ssl=1" alt="Pour shot of liquid whole eggs">Key limes: I recommend using fresh key limes for this recipe!

5 Summer Recipes For A Family Brunch

There’s almost a science to making poached eggs. It may take a bit of practice, but to prepare perfectly poached eggs, be sure to use the following helpful tips.&nbsp;1. Use a skillet with a lid.First, use a skillet with a lid to create a controlled cooking environment for the eggs. This helps to retain heat and steam, ensuring even cooking. 2. Add vinegar to the water.Next, add a small amount of vinegar to the water. The acidity of the vinegar helps coagulate the egg whites more quickly, resulting in a neater and more compact poached egg.3. Use small bowls or ramekins.Prepare small bowls or ramekins to crack the eggs into before adding them to the water. This step helps prevent the eggs from spreading and keeps them contained, resulting in a more visually appealing poached egg.4. Lower the heat.Lower the heat to a gentle simmer before adding the eggs to the water. A rapid boil can cause the eggs to break apart or cook too quickly. By maintaining a gentle simmer, you ensure a more delicate and evenly cooked poached egg.5. Gently slip the eggs into the water.Gently slip the cracked eggs into the simmering water. Using a slotted spoon or a spatula, create a whirlpool in the water by stirring it gently. This swirling motion helps the egg whites wrap around the yolk, giving the poached egg a classic rounded shape. 6. Cover the skillet and turn off the heat.Cover the skillet with a lid to trap the heat and steam. This technique helps cook the top portion of the poached eggs without flipping them, resulting in a perfectly cooked yolk and a tender egg white. By following these tips, you can achieve beautifully poached eggs that are both visually appealing and delicious. Experimenting with different cooking times can help you achieve your preferred level of doneness, whether you prefer a runny yolk or a firmer yolk. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don't be discouraged if your first attempts aren't flawless. With time and experience, you'll master the art of poaching eggs and be able to enjoy this elegant and versatile cooking technique.
