Our mornings go reeeally smooth when the kids make their own breakfast. When toast and cold cereal won’t cut it, the kids pull a breakfast burrito from the freezer and microwave it for 45 seconds. Boom! Round it out with a piece of fruit and glass of milk, and my kids head to school with a happy tummy. If I give myself about 60 minutes, I can assemble 24 burritos for the freezer. Pro-tip: recruit the husband to help and it takes half the time. It is also really helpful to get all ingredients chopped, whisked, and in place before you start cooking. Enjoy!
