    As a registered dietitian, I am always trying to get as many servings of vegetables into my family as possible. One easy way to sneak in an extra serving of veggies is with these vegetable filled breakfast burritos. These burritos are freezer friendly and make for a quick breakfast on the go.

      This is very similar to a recipe I used to use before we had to go gluten free. I would bake the egg mixture in a casserole dish, then when cooled, cut into equal sized rectangles. It worked well for portion control as well as making the whole process much easier!

      “I used cheddar with chipotle peppers”. Are you saying this is how you buy the cheese or you add chipotle peppers?

        Michelle- The cheddar had chipotle peppers actually in the cheese. I got the cheese at Target.

      I also throw in some Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles, and package them individually in the reynolds wrappers from the dollar store. They make mornings so much easier around here!
