So for the past two mornings I have had the most delicious homemade omelettes for breakfast. They are very simple, 2 eggs, 1 tbsp of sharp cheddar cheese, one green onion, 1 slice diced (by me) Canadian bacon, salt and pepper and butter for cooking them in.

I haven't done a price break down on breakfast in a long time, so thought I would. Since these eggs are pasture raised organic eggs from Camano Island they aren't the free ones from our chickens, they are $3.99 a dozen (I was shocked to find a price so low for these at the Food Co-op), which works out to 33 cents each. My batch of scallions was .39 and it had 12 in it which works out to 3 cents. The Canadian bacon was additive free and $5.99 for six slices (ouch) so was $1. I used maybe 2 cents worth of butter and 25 cents worth of cheese. The cost of the salt and pepper is negligible.

So:
$1.00 Canadian bacon
__.66 2 eggs
__.03 Green onion
__.25 Cheese
+_.10 Butter
----------------
$2.04 total

Hey, that's not too bad considering the additive free meat. But once the new chicks start laying and there are enough eggs to not have to supplement with store bought, and when my green onions that I planted from seed are big enough to harvest, the cost of this meal will drop to $1.35. Pretty good for a meal rich in protein. Pancakes and eggs are still cheaper, but not by too much. Muffins and eggs are even cheaper, but still, it's not too bad.

The same omelette breakfast in our local Mom and Pop diner would come to $5.99 plus tax and would not have organic ingredients in it. So, not too shabby indeed.
