I know we’ve all been thinking it, so I’m gonna go ahead and just say it-
Justin Bieber’s new songs are really good.
Is it too late to that I’m sorry? Nope, not sorry.
On a totally unrelated note, I gave my dad kind of a lame gift this year for Christmas- only a slight step up from homemade coupons for chores. He had mentioned wanting to try and eat healthier for breakfast. I decided to make him a bunch of pre-cooked frozen meals that can be eaten on the go. When it came time to actually cook and prep, I made breakfast burritos and blueberry oatmeal cups.
Simple Breakfast Burritos
-10 whole grain wheat tortillas
-6 whole eggs + 6 egg whites
-1/2 cup skim/1% milk
-5 strips low sodium bacon, cooked, cooled, and crumbled
-1/2 cup shredded cheese
-2 cups fresh spinach, washed and patted dry
You could really feel free to add in whatever else you’d like- onion, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc. My preferred way to cook bacon is to line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a cooling rack inside. Put the strips of bacon on the cooling rack so that the grease drips onto the baking sheet underneath.
Whisk together eggs, egg whites, and milk. Cook over medium heat until scrambled. Remove from heat and add spinach. Cover until spinach is wilted- the residual heat from the eggs will do this in just a few minutes. Add crumbled bacon.
To assemble burritos, place a spoonful or two of egg mixture in a vertical line in the middle of the tortilla. Wrap the right side of the tortilla across the egg mixture. Fold the top and bottom of the tortilla, then roll over to the left. I wrapped each tortilla in a paper towel, then wrapped that in plastic wrap. My logic is that you need to wrap it in a paper towel to microwave anyway, so might as well wrap it from the beginning.
For the blueberry muffin cups, I followed this recipe from the kitchn with a few modifications (mainly subbing in blueberries and chopped walnuts).
Fiber-riffic breakfast for ya, dad.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have some YouTubing to do. NOT SORRY.
