Remember when I made the Poached Egg on Roasted Asparagus with Hollandaise? Well I had a ton of hollandaise sauce leftover so I decided to make some eggs benedict. But instead of using canadian bacon like traditional eggs benedict, I decided to go the meatless route with some fresh tomatoes…

Nutritional Bonus:

While tea, red wine, cacao and cocoa powder may all do wonders when it comes to satisfying your soul (and taste buds), they may also play a hand in strengthening your heart. They’re all rich in catechins, a type of flavonoid that has been found to help reduce blood pressure while lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol and increasing HDL (good).
