So. I have a confession to make. We literally haven’t even started shopping for school supplies.
Yes, school does start in less than two weeks. And yes, my kids have been badgering me about it for weeks now. The truth is…school supply shopping is one of my least favorite activities. So I tend to put it off…as long as I possibly can.
The good news? We may not have any school supplies, but we’re all set with back to school breakfasts.
It’s all about priorities….right?
There’s no question that having quick and easy breakfast options is key for back to school success. Some of our favorites? Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal, Breakfast Egg Muffins, and Superfood Apple Blueberry Muffins.
And even though we’ve never tried them, I feel like my kids would absolutely love all these ideas for Overnight Oats.
But our new favorite, by far? These seriously delicious Southwest Breakfast Burritos. Loaded with scrambled eggs, cheese, bacon, peppers, and the most delicious creamy chipotle sauce, they’re everything you could ever want in a breakfast burrito.
The first time I made these Southwest Breakfast Burritos my kids went crazy for them….and as soon as I tried them I understood why.
They’re a complete breakfast in a portable package, and the perfect balance of protein, veggies, and carbs. And you can find everything you need to make them at your local Pick ‘n Save!
From the fresh peppers to the bacon to the Roundy’s eggs and cheese, made right in Wisconsin, Pick ‘n Save has it all. Including the adobo sauce!
Speaking of the sauce…the creamy chipotle sauce in these burritos is EVERYTHING. If you’re anything like me, you might want to make a little extra….just sayin’.
