Freezer Breakfast Burritos

I just worked my way out of a breakfast rut thanks to these Freezer Breakfast Burritos. I’ve been stuck eating toast & coffee for breakfast for the past two weeks. For a few days, avocado made an appearance on my toast (always welcome!). I also had a wild three day run of sunflower seed butter on toast (I love that stuff). But after awhile, it all gets kinda oooooold. If I have time during the week, I might make an egg… but that usually means I’ll come home to a pan sitting in my sink, full of water and eggy residue. Not pretty. The protein of an egg really helps fill be me up before lunch time…which helps keep my snacking in check….

Cue this Freezer Breakfast Burritos sitch. What a way to turn it around! I’m a huge fan…but my husband is an even BIGGER fan. You know those pointy/spongy #1 fingers you get at baseball/football games? He might as well be wearing one of those when he eats one of these. And this recipe didn’t have any meat in it! Wahoooo!

Two to three minutes in the microwave and a minute or two to let it cool off and breakfast is served! The best part is that you can put ANYTHING you want in them. Customize your own breakfast burritos! Make your own concoctions. Hide vegetables in them. Add chorizo. Put some sausage and bacon in. Make it all mushroom-y and spinach-y. Go crazy! Breakfast/breakfast for dinner just got waaaay easy.

Spicy Zucchini Fritatta

Every few months I fall in love with frittatas. It’s not that I fall out of love with them… I just forget about them. It’s a shame because they’re so easy to make and I LOVE easy things. Maybe I just like to use a few eggs at a time. Or maybe it’s because I’m lazy. Yeah, that’s probably it. Fritattas are super ridiculously easy. I should make them all the time.

This Spicy Zucchini Frittata is like a low carb version of My Corn Lime & Zucchini Pizza. I have always loved the combination of zucchini & corn together. It screams SUMMER to me. With a little kick in the pants of jalapeno, this dish is perfection. The only thing I’d add to it besides cilantro is a little sprinkle of feta. But maybe it’s cuz I keep thinking about that dang pizza. Yeah, that’s totally it.

Rigatoni w/ Marinara & Ricotta

It’s been AGES since we’ve had pasta in my household. Why??? Well, there’s a 3 year old that I live with who doesn’t like pasta. WHAT? Can you imagine that? A kid that doesn’t like pasta? My Italian grandma would consider this sacrilegious.

Since there are two adults in my household that love pasta, I had to make this simple recipe.

Grandma might be ashamed to know how easy this recipe is. You mean marinara doesn’t have to take 4+ hours to make? The best things in life are just plain simple. Just like this pasta.
