Easy toddler breakfast

My almost 1 year old LOVES sweet potatoes so when I saw sweet potato pancakes on sale at the local health food store I had to try them out.  They were great!  They come in a frozen pack, easy to heat up and she absolutely gobbled them up.  The problem is that there were only about 6 in the pack and they didn't last very long.  The next time I went to the store I saw this box of mix and decided to give it a try.  I'm all about meal planning lately, it just makes life a little easier all around.

 

In the future I would like to try and make them from scratch but for now the box mix worked beautifully. 

 

 

 

Just add water and mix.  I used the whole box that way I can freeze the rest and just heat them up as needed.

 

I scooped out 1/4 cup for each pancake.  Cook a bit longer than regular pancakes.  Just remember to watch for the bubbles, when it's bubbling it's time to flip.  I left a few out to put in the fridge and then put the rest in freezer bags for later.  It made 22 pancakes. 

 

 

As you can see the Peanut loves them.  She literally shovels them in her mouth.

What are some easy meals you make for your little ones? 

Freezer breakfast burritos

 I have recently discovered that I love breakfast burritos.  I mean who doesn't love a delicious breakfast rolled up and perfect for on the go?  It's a genius idea! I follow Mindovermunch on Instagram and she posted this recipe for breakfast burritos so I tried it and WHOOAAA so good!

Here's my picture step by step.

You can use any veggies you want to and could use ground beef or sausage. 

I used:

1 package of ground turkey

1 packet of taco seasoning

1 cup of mushrooms

1/4 cup of red onions

1 cup spinach

1 cup cherry tomatoes

5 eggs

1 cup of egg whites

2 cups of Mexican blend shredded cheese

2 packages of tortillas of your choice.  (8 come in a pack and I was able to make 9 with this recipe)

 

 Veggies:

                                 

                         

                         

                         

 

Ground turkey cooked with taco seasoning

                                                                                     Whisk eggs and egg whites together

(I took the ground turkey out of the pan and cooked the eggs in the same pan)

                                                 

              Add in veggies             

                                                

                                        

                               Add in the ground turkey                                        

                                                

After the veggies, eggs and turkey are all combined scoop out some and place it in the middle of a tortilla and top it with cheese. 

                                                  

Fold it up and wrap it in plastic wrap

                                                  

                                

                                          

Ta-Da!  There's your breakfast for the week or more.  Well in may case it was breakfast for a few days considering my husband, myself and our Spanish exchange student all eat them in the morning.  The next batch I made double the recipe so it lasted longer.

 

You can pop these in the freezer and they should last 4-6 weeks.  If frozen then microwave them for 1 minute, rotate and microwave 1 more minute.  If not frozen microwave 45 seconds and enjoy :-)
