Eggs :)

Eggs are not only delicious but also good for your health.  Being a vegetarian can make finding proteins a bit more difficult, so eggs are a great way to get some.  On average eggs have about 6 grams of protein.  Although a large egg contains around 212 milligrams of cholesterol, studies show it does not effect a majority of people negatively (if worried about the cholesterol count in eggs try egg whites or mixing whites with an egg).  Eggs have many known health benefits, including, eye sight health, breast health (studies show women who eat at least 6 eggs a week lowered their risk of getting breast cancer by 44%).  Eggs also promote healthy hair and nail growth, and contains vitamin d (something a majority if oregonians don't get enough of).

There are so many ways to fix eggs.  From milk to water, sour cream to pancake batter, people have their own way if adding fluff and creamy richness to their eggs.  I personally love a nice dollop of sour cream im me eggs.  There are also so many ingredients you can put in eggs to add flavor.   A personal couple favorites of mine include, feta cheese with fresh basil (if desired add roasted red peppers, sun dried tomatoes, and/or onions).  I also enjoy eggs with sour cream and green onions.  I recently was introduced to adding black beans to eggs, which turned out to taste pretty yummy.  The picture included is an egg taco I made for my mom the other day, which included: sour cream, green onions, green peppers, onion, tomatoes, salsa, black beans and taco meat.
