Happy Valentine's Day from Pete and Jen's Backyard Birds!  Treat your sweetie to a delicious breakfast of fresh, organic eggs (from our happy hens) with a side of our pasture-raised, heritage breed, hickory-smoked, maple-cured bacon (nitrite-free, of course)!  Throw in some artisanal bread and fair-trade coffee and voila!  A gourmet and ultra tasty breakfast to spark the romance and fill the belly.

You can also extend the luxurious morning with bath products like our own Backyard Bubbles...choose from multiple natural scents like citrus, lavender protein, cinnamon citrus, strawberry lemongrass, and more!  Our bath bars are all handmade with pure ingredients and they last a long time.

If you are in the mood for a DIY romantic dinner, try one of these recipes for braised pig cheeks with our delicious and creamy pork jowls (warning - lots of yummy, succulent fat with tender bits of flavorful meat). 

   Slow-braised Pigs' Cheeks with Parsnip Puree
   Pigs Cheeks braised in Cider
   Pork Cheeks and Polenta
   Braised Pig Cheeks with Lentils
   Pork Jowl with Brown Sugar Rub

Once you fill the house with delicious roasted pork aroma, prepare some steamed greens, whipped potatoes, roasted root veggies, and enjoy a fine dining experience (with a splash of wine, of course).  You can also practice your charcuterie skills with a delicious guanciale project that is sure to be a palate (and partner) pleaser. 

We hope you enjoy a nice, loving weekend and remember to make every day special for your favorite someone!

XOXOXOX,


Pete and Jen
