Celebrating Breakfast at SFC Farmers' Markets
It all begins with an egg. We suppose there would be some who would debate that assertion, but this month we’re celebrating BREAKFAST—the most important meal of the day—so we think eggs are the perfect starting point! SFC Farmers’ Markets offer so many delicious and healthy ways to start your day. Besides the incredible, edible egg, think pastured pork sausage, juicy melons and figs, potatoes and greens in a skillet, kolaches, croissants, preserves and honey . . . We could go on for days. To get you thinking like a champion, check out our The Egg & I board over on Pinterest. You might just get inspired enough to want breakfast for supper!

How to Clean and Care for an Iron Skillet
Like a loyal old friend, a cast iron skillet never lets you down. Cast iron pans can literally last for generations; considering you’ll have it for a lifetime, the initial investment of around $20 seems like almost nothing.
Offering a super hot cooking surface and even heat conduction, the trusty and versatile iron skillet is perfect for searing steaks and can just as easily bake up a cornbread or everyday cake in the oven. It’s just the right tool for pan-frying, and we love to toss in vegetables for roasting. It even offers health benefits, adding trace amounts of iron to your diet. With so many reasons to love it, make sure you show your cast iron pan lots of love in return and treat it right. Read on for The Happy Kitchen’s tips for the care and feeding of your new BFF!
