I wasn’t sure if we could talk about eggs for an entire podcast episode, but I was wrong! From producing eggs in your own backyard to the many ways you can include them in your diet, there is plenty to discuss about this amazing superfood. Lisa Steele is an expert backyard chicken keeper and has just released a cookbook all about using eggs in your kitchen, so I knew she’d be the perfect guest for this conversation.

Whether you are raising a backyard flock of chickens or just want some new ideas for incorporating eggs into your diet, there is something for everyone in this episode.
