Well by the title of this you can probably assume what this blog post is about lol. I went to my yearly check up to find out I have high cholesterol. I can remember having it as a child but my diet wasn’t great then. We could not afford fresh food and ate a lot of processed goods.

I’ve been trying to incorporate fresh items to my diet with each meal. This seems easy but sometimes it is difficult.

Today the item was tomatoes . I made an egg scramble with fresh tomatoes cut up on top and then I cut some basil trimmings off my plant and made some basil, tomato, fresh mozzarella, drizzled with fig glaze . It was very good.

What other ways do you use tomatoes besides in a salad? I have a plethora to use! I guess I’ll be doing some recipe searching. I have five months to watch my diet and go back for more blood work. Hopefully the numbers are down.
