Disclaimer: This post is in collaboration with Meijer & Produce for Kids. Both are companies I’m honored to work with and all opinions are my own.

Every weekend, I try to do a little prep work to make weekday meals go a bit smoother. I chop veggies, grill chicken and usually make a soup or two. My focus has always been on lunch or dinner, but I realized breakfast is just as important.  Last week I scrambled up eggs and grilled up bacon to make simple breakfast options!

Since my kids are on a quesadilla kick lately and I thought I should add a breakfast one to our list! These are filled with easy to prep ahead ingredients and you can switch up the fillers with so many options. We started with a simple bacon, cheese and egg quesadilla and the next morning my kids were begging for more. Since I had a sweet potato roasted, this Southwest style one popped into my head for round 2. Aside from breakfast, these would be fabulous for a Meatless Monday brinner. Simply serve with a fruit salad and some yogurt for a filling meal!

Don’t be afraid of scrambled ahead of time eggs. They reheat to be fluffy and delish, just like the first time around. The key is to add some cheese while cooking originally and a splash of milk before popping into the microwave to reheat.

      Oh my gosh, yes it was! So sorry. Added. I just cook a sweet potato in the microwave and cube it beforehand.
