It makes my day when we bring in fresh eggs from the Food And Travel Nation flock of girls while they run the yard in the mornings. We weren’t sure we wanted to have our own hens, but it’s been a rewarding experience. Most of all it gives my son and the rest of the family respect about where our food comes from instead of just shopping the grocery store. We are grateful. So we buzzed up a Fresh Hen Quick Blueberry Clafoutis .
I hope you’ll buzz this up for breakfast one morning or for a nice dessert snack before bedtime. It literally takes just a couple of minutes to process it and let the oven do the rest.
