Denver-Style-Morning-Burrito-946

I am always looking for a way to use the ingredients I can buy on a budget, and right now my fridge is full of eggs and Philadelphia Cooking Crème.  I like to stock up on pantry and freezer items when they are at their lowest price, but sometimes I end up with perishables too.  Which is just fine, I just make meals around them.

I found this recipe for Denver Style Morning Burritos on Krafts website and it sounded like it would use up just the right ingredients out of my fridge.  My hubby loves breakfast burritos so this immediately got 2 thumbs up from him. Check out how easy this delicious breakfast option is!

sausage rolls

My poor hubby has been neglected lately.  He gets up and heads to work in the morning without breakfast most of the time.   I was looking through my cookbooks for something hearty, quick, and easy that I can make him for breakfast.  This not only looked easy enough, the sound so good!

These would make a fabulous addition to a brunch buffet.  You could serve them with some scrambled eggs for a complete breakfast. They could even be turned into an appetizer.

granola 005

Yes, I am on a breakfast kick.  It is the most important meal of the day after all.   My kids love granola; Bars, cereal, on yogurt, on ice cream, and just by itself.  I like to make my own because I can tweak it to everyone’s individual tastes, and I know what is in it.  No preservatives, chemicals, just whole foods.

Here is the recipe that works for us.  Feel free to play with it, and your families favorites and make a treat that your family will love!
