Breakfast Burritos

My first entry into my new format for blogged food.

I wanted to create a breakfast item that could be frozen and taken for breakfasts while on the go. 

The other day at work, I was in a hurry, like I always am, and did not have time to make breakfasst in the morning.  After surgery, meals can take up to an hour to eat, so I did not have time to sit and indulge.

This is a huge reason I got fat to begin with... FAST FOOD IS A LIFE SAVER, or at least is was. That morning I had a breakfast burrito from McDonalds.  I was astounded by the rediculous amount of poor nutrition was in this, and it was a healthy option.

I wondered how to get in better nutrition, more bang for my buck as it were.

So I created my own breakfast burritos.  They are small, full of nutrition, and filling.  My husband even likes it!
