Do you skip breakfast in the mornings because you’re just way to busy? Well not any more. Prepare there Freezer Breakfast Burritos during the weekend and have them all week long. Loaded with eggs, sausage, potatoes and of course cheese, these burritos will keep you full all morning long.
Are you a morning person? Are you one of those that wake up bright and early and are ready for the day before 8am?
Well…not me. Nope. No matter what I do, I just can’t become a early bird. And thank gosh my two kids and hubby aren’t either. We’re more of a late night family. I don’t know why that is, but it is.
Because we don’t get up early, we rarely have time for breakfast. Our morning consist of getting up at 7am, getting the kids ready, getting ourselves ready then heading out the door for work and school. Since I don’t work I normally go work out right away or come back and start working on the blog. By this time it’s 9:30-10:30 and I just don’t have an extra 30 minutes to sit and eat.
Also my hubby gets so busy at work, that once his day starts he rarely ever has time to stop and eat lunch. So that means he comes home around 4 or 5 and has only had a granola bar or a pb&j.
I knew I needed to start fixing our breakfast problem. I wanted something hearty and filling. The family and I love breakfast burritos, so I knew once I got the measurements and freezing/heating times down, they would be a huge hit.
Boy oh boy was I right. We can go through a whole batch of burritos in one week. But what’s nice is if we’re not feeling like breakfast burritos they can stay in the freezer for three months.
Don’t go hungry anymore for breakfast! Make these Freezer Breakfast Burritos and you’ll feel great and full all day long. Remember breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Enjoy!
