Simplifying your Morning Routines with El Monterey Burritos

 

Getting the kids up and out the door is a challenge for us, especially with daylight savings and it being dark on our way to the bus stop. The success of our morning routine depends on many factors, both parental and the kids. How do you simplify your morning routine comes down to breakfast as well. My kids love breakfast burritos  and when I don’t have the time to make and freeze my own, I keep a stash of El Monterey breakfast burritos in the freezer. A priorty of mine is using real ingredients and filling my kids with a wholesome breakfast before they start a busy day at school.

We served up our breakfast burittos with a side of fruit and a glass of orange juice or milk. It will satisfy their hunger and stay with them longer than a bowl of sugary cereal. I was impressed my husband has also had a couple of these as he headed out the door to church and the airport.

How do you prepare for the hectic morning transition? Here is my list of ideal steps to take to make the school day morning smoother I do about 3 a night 🙁

 

  1. Prepare lunches night before
  2. Set Up coffee maker
  3. Start Dishwasher before bed
  4. Kids back packs, bags packed for next day
  5. Clothes laid out before bed
  6. Write any notes to teacher for playdates, Dr. Appts.
  7. Double check the calendar for any special school events
  8. Set alarm 30 minutes earlier than the kids wake up to feed dog, start coffee and unload dishwasher
  9. Have nutrient dense and easy to prepare breakfast items

    Those do look good for the hubs to have before work in the morning. He likes a hot breakfast, even if he’s in a hurry to go.
