2 Add canned organic tomatoes to your favorite ingredients for omelets, frittatas or quiches.
3 Add organic salsa to scrambled eggs for a breakfast dish with a Mexican flair.
4 Warm up during the fall and winter months with a good, old-fashioned bowl of tomato soup.
5 Add heaping amounts of organic crushed tomatoes to your favorite toppings on a baked potato.
6 Use canned organic diced tomatoes in your favorite bruschetta recipes.
7 Add canned organic tomato paste to your gravies for a richer, thicker sauce.
8 Replace fat-heavy dips and potato chips with baked tortilla chips and salsa.
9 Use canned organic whole tomatoes and tomato paste in your tomato-based pasta sauces.
10 Eat more processed tomato products like spaghetti sauce and canned tomatoes. Processed tomatoes have a higher lycopene content than fresh tomatoes.
