i would say yes if there are no egg allergies in your family (i'm sure mason tried them at that age, hell the child ate slim jims at 6 months) but here's what i found online (i'm feeling very wize-like today, haha):

Some foods are generally withheld until later. Do not give eggs, cow's milk, citrus fruits and juices, and honey until after a baby's first birthday.

Eggs (especially the whites) may cause an allergic reaction, especially if given too early. Citrus is highly acidic and can cause painful diaper rashes for a baby. Honey may contain certain spores that, while harmless to adults, can cause botulism in babies. Regular cow's milk does not have the nutrition that infants need.

Fish and seafood, peanuts and peanut butter, and tree nuts are also considered allergenic for infants, and shouldn't be given until after the child is 2 or 3 years old, depending on whether the child is at higher risk for developing food allergies. A child is at higher risk for food allergies if one or more close family members have allergies or allergy-related conditions, like food allergies, eczema, or asthma.

I'd say a few little pieces would be okay, but do not give her tomato or citrus stuff. I did that to my little brother, I let him suck on a tomato and oh his poor little mouth was so tore up. I felt so bad.

she has already had spaghettis sauce and pizza sauce

A little probably didn't hurt her but believe me to much at once will give anyone a blister or blisters in their mouth. OJ can do it, straight tomato see I let him sit and suck the tomato it was to much.
