It's the day before break is over and all through the house
all the creatures are freaking out, even a mouse.
The bookbags were strewn by the door with some care
in hope that a snowday would perhaps appear...?
Mrs. McGuire was all snug in her bed
while visions of laughter, chatter and grading danced in her head.
My winter break is coming to a close. It is always nice to be able to take a step back and recollect your sanity!
When discussing this with a friend we were both feeling anxious because coming off a break is like going from nothing to everything!
So, to make my life easier and healthier I planned out some meals.
My wonderful husband also made a work document to help our souls survive ;)
It's seriously a thing of beauty!
An on-the-go gal (or guys) best friend.... The WRAP
I went wrap crazy with my meal planning this week.
Why?
- I eat my breakfast on the road between working out and getting my class ready for 27 active 3rd graders!
- I need to have energy and I need it quick!
- Even some lunches are spent running around
I created several wraps for this week:
- Peanut butter and fruit
- Nutella Peanut butter and Fruit (special Friday Treat!)
- Cream cheese and Veggies with Garlic and onion cream cheese
- Hummus and Veggie
For the Cream Cheese
- 1 clove of minced garlic
- 2 green onions
- 4 ounces of cream cheese
- a dash of pepper
this provided a nice glue for the wrap
In the Veggie Wraps
- 2 small grated carrots
- 1/4 avocado sliced
- Half a mini cucumber
I also made 10
Breakfast Burritos!
For mornings on the go...
- 6 breakfast sausages
- 8 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 5 small potatoes
- 10 tortillas
- Preheat oven at 400 degrees
- Uncase the sausages and cook in a skillet on medium heat for 15 mins, flipping or moving it around ever 5 minutes
- While the sausage cooks mix together the milk and eggs with some salt and pepper and garlic powder.
- Cut up the potatoes into inch thick cubes
- Drain the sausage on paper towel and set aside
- Scramble eggs
- While eggs scramble, put the potatoes on a cooking sheet with a light amount of olive oil
- Cook potatoes for 20 minutes
- Incorporate all the cooked ingredients together
When you assemble the burritos I put about a 1/2 cup of filling in each burrito.
I froze my burritos in cling wrap and then put them all in a freezer bag.
To Reheat burritos:
Uncover the burrito and put on a plate of paper towel in the microwave for 1 minute.
Happy Meal Planning!
