Breakfast for Dinner Farm Fresh Eggs and Sizzling Skillets  (Family Features) - You're having one of those days. In the morning, it was breakfast
on the run. It's been busy at work, you've rushed from activity
to activity and the thought of having to plan dinner for the
family is another job that you just don't need right now. You
want real food and you want it now.
Breakfast for dinner is the answer to your dilemma — comfort food
for the harried. Farm fresh eggs, sizzling skillets of savory
potatoes flavored with strips of colorful bell peppers, onions or
perhaps corn and black beans along with mouthwatering ham,
sausage or bacon. Everyone in the family loves the heartiness of
breakfast dinners, and they're a lot easier to make than you
might think.
With ready-made products you cook in your skillet on the
stovetop, you'll have a meal that your family will love with time
left over for you to enjoy the meal, too. Start with fresh eggs,
scramble and serve. If you wish, add your own homemade touches
like shredded cheese, chopped fresh herbs or hot sauce. Then,
gather your family at the dinner table, breathe a sigh of relief,
and dig in.

Eggstra Care Yields Healthy Delicious Eggs
Farm fresh eggs are a great source of protein and flavor. Whether
you enjoy them for breakfast or dinner, eggs provide an easy-to-make entrée from ingredients you always have on hand. With only
75 calories, 5 grams of fat and plenty of nutrients, eggs are
definitely good for you. So, it only makes sense that healthy
eggs come from healthy hens.
To show how much they care about their hens, America's egg
farmers developed the Animal Care Certified program. When you buy
eggs featuring the Animal Care Certified logo on the carton, you
can be assured that the eggs are produced on farms following
strict guidelines for proper hen care, developed by leading
animal-care scientists and veterinarians and audited by the USDA.
Currently, 85 percent of U.S. eggs are produced under these
guidelines, and most leading grocery store chains specify Animal
Care Certified eggs.
So, look for the Animal Care Certified logo on your next carton
of eggs and you could win a trip of a lifetime. By entering the
"Look for the Logo" contest, you might see some of the most
priceless eggs in the world ... Faberge eggs housed at the
Hermitage Museum in Russia. The contest runs until November 30,
2005. For contest details and information, visit
