Farmers' Breakfast: Scramble on Toast with Avocados, Sundried Tomatoes and Feta
On a farm, Saturday morning is a work day just like any other day.
Now that our children are grown and I am no longer meeting school buses
or driving to after-school activities, Saturdays really do seem like a
normal day, except that I have special jobs to do, like writing the
weekly payroll for our employees. I remember how wonderful Saturday
mornings were when we were growing up. No school and we were allowed
to watch Saturday morning cartoons on television. Just a relaxing
time, and often with a special breakfast of french toast or pancakes and
bacon.
The best gift! Homemade Bread!
One way to make Saturday special is to bring back the special breakfast tradition. Our friend Rachael (
La Fuji Mama)
presented The Farmer with a homemade loaf of bread yesterday, so I
decided to make an extra-delicious scramble to go on top of thick slices
of toasted Fuji Mama Bread!
Last weekend I bought some shallots at the
Little Italy Mercato
from our cousins, Schaner Farms. They sell an amazing array of their
homegrown produce at various farmers’ markets, including Santa Monica,
Vista,
Del Mar
and Little Italy. It’s always fun to visit with them and catch up on
our family news! Kayne and Peter Schaner are our youngest daughter’s
godparents.

I learned about another California family farm this week who is
bringing delicious sundried tomato products to kitchens all over the
world.
Mooney Farms of Chico,
California produces the Bella Sun Luci brand of sundried tomatoes,
available in small packages that are convenient and perfect for everyday
family cooking. I received a package of their Sun Dried Tomatoes
with Italian Basil (julienne-cut) at
Camp Blogaway two weeks ago. After exploring the Mooney Farms website and seeing a
film about their family farm on Facebook,
I was eager to try their tomatoes. My husband’s father grew tomatoes
for 40 years while raising his family in Huntington Beach, California so
we have a special interest in family-farmed tomatoes!

This morning I used fresh shallots from Schaner Farms, Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomatoes from Mooney Farms, and
fresh California avocados from our own farm
to make a special batch of scrambled eggs. Topped with some crumbled
Greek feta cheese too! On top of Fuji Mama’s delicious toasted
homemade bread. Our Saturday morning IS special now!
