Breakfast isn’t just the most important meal of the day- it is also the one I have to throw together the quickest. I love options that look a lot harder than they actually are- like these eggs baked into tomatoes! This breakfast idea goes with just about anything- veggies, meats, or even homemade breads. Plus they’re super affordable!
Gorgeous runny yolks are perfect for dipping! These taste luxurious & I happened upon these tomatoes by chance. Pretty, yellow tomatoes never go on sale so this was a great find. Yum!

I posted this easy low-carb recipe today to bring some recognition to a Change.org petition advocating that the U.S. Dietary Guidelines take into consideration quality, scientific data to help combat obesity in America. America’s guidelines haven’t matched up to recent research like eggs being good for you & healthy fats being so much more than just tasty. I invite you to check out the petition here to educate yourself & use your voice to make a change!
