Welcome to the first day of the Food is Joy Link-up!  Today, we’re focused linking up our favorite foods.  Add yours here:

I have to admit that deciding which food is my favorite was TOUGH.  Mostly because I like all food.

Still, if I really think about it I know there really is one favorite.  It’s my go-to meal at home, my most favorite thing to order in restaurants (even if it’s just part of the meal) and it’s versatility makes this amateur chef excited.

So, even though it might sound a little odd, I present to you my favorite food:

The Egg.

Whoa.  Really?  Even more than cheese?  Yes.  I think I do like eggs even more than cheese.

I like eggs poached.

I like eggs fried.

I like eggs atop beef tartare.  (Oh yeah.  I ate that.  In Paris.)

I like eggs baked into a frittata.

And eggs are full of good stuff:  Protein, choline, Vitamin D, Vitamin A, lutein… and all for about 70 calories.
