Breastfeeding Friendly Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Steak and Eggs Plate
Steak and eggs is one of those meals that feels indulgent but is actually doing serious nutritional heavy lifting — exactly what a breastfeeding body needs. The New York strip brings a generous hit of protein and iron, both of which are in higher demand during nursing, while the eggs add choline and healthy fats that support both you and your baby. Avocado oil keeps everything clean and free from the refined seed oils you might want to avoid postpartum. The homemade everything seasoning — sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and flaky sea salt — gives the crust a bold, bakery-style flavor without any store-bought blends that could sneak in additives or fillers. Blistered cherry tomatoes roasted until their skins just burst add a bright, juicy contrast to the richness of the seared steak and runny yolk. The whole plate comes together in one cast iron skillet plus a sheet pan, which means less cleanup on days when energy is already stretched thin. Fresh chives on top are optional, but they make the whole thing look like something you'd order at a weekend brunch spot.
