Scramble Eggs Tomato, Cheddar and Tobasco $2.53

This may look a little sloppy and the presentation isnt phenomenal, but the taste and health benefits make up for the lack of beauty in the photo. I know I have talked about the health benifits of red pepper flakes, infact there isnt really a savory meal that I dont add some flakes to. I usually dont add tobasco but im going to start. It gives added kick and texture, and lets talk heath benefits: tobasaco is made from red pepper, it is the color red, but no food color is added. It is all natural, there is no fat and no sodium. Cayene Pepper is the key component in tabasco sauce, its known to boost metabolism which can aid in weight loss. Spicy peppers also have capsaicin in them, which is an anti-inflamitory. Capsaicin can aid in the pain caused by inflamed joints and arthritic conditions. Tumeric is another key component to tobasco. It adds a smoky flavor to the sauce which helps break through the heat of the cayenne.
