Brunch with Mom and Eggland's Best Eggs

There is nothing better than spending time with my Mom and having great food.
I was so excited when I was connected by Egglands eggs with this opportunity to host a brunch and offered a fun giveaway, I LOVE Egglands Best Eggs. There are so many great recipes on the Eggland's Best website. As I looked through the recipes I found a Breakfast Burrito: http://bit.ly/T10yRS and a Sunny Side Breakfast Pizza Recipe: http://bit.ly/Qmem9r . But I decided on a yummy Broccoli & Cheddar Frittata. 
We had a wonderful time!

· 10 times more vitamin E
· Double the amount of omega-3’s
· Twice the amount of vitamin D
· 3 times more vitamin B12
