Cream Cheese & Chive Scrambled Eggs with Fried Potatoes, Bacon & ToastCream cheese adds richness to these scrambled eggs without altering the flavor of the  eggs.  Luckily for us, our neighbors Judy and John who have three chickens, deliver beautiful, fresh, eggs to our front door.

Lactose Free Cream CheeseThese days there are more and more lactose free products available, such as this delicious cream cheese.  Green Valley Organics also makes lactose free sour cream and yogurt.  All of their products are superb.
