We are always rushing in my house, but on Saturday and Sunday morning we generally take a seat and enjoy a nice breakfast together. Lately I’ve been gearing the family up to start a more plant based diet, so I’ve been trying new recipes. This Spinach Monterey Jack Breakfast Burrito Recipe is fast, filled with potassium, protein and it’s delicious.
