How to make an easy meal even easier

Disclaimer: Al Fresco provided me with coupons for free product. I was under no obligation to write a post in exchange, but I like the product so I wanted to share it with you.

I usually only make breakfast burritos for breakfast, but last week we went wild and had them one evening for dinner. I know. My breakfast burrito formula is pretty simple:

big flour tortillas + scrambled eggs + protein + cheese + veggies

Al Fresco Chicken SausageBacon is obviously a favorite protein choice, but we’ve also enjoyed shredded chicken, chorizo and veggie sausages in the past. I used chopped up Al Fresco Apple Maple Chicken patties for last week’s burritos, because the Al Fresco folks sent me some coupons to try out their breakfast products.

We’ve had Al Fresco chicken sausages before, but I’d never tried the breakfast offerings. To be fair, I still haven’t tried them, because I made myself a veggie breakfast burrito. Rockford and Pete, however, give the maple chicken patties their seal of approval. They each had two burritos for dinner, Rockford had another for breakfast the next day, and Pete had another one for lunch.

This week’s menu features neither breakfast nor burritos. We’re having a pretty busy week, which means the menu plan includes a lot of eating out and easily prepped foods.

Monday: Tacos
I think I might have even remembered to get all the necessary accoutrements this time.

Tuesday: Chicken sausages
I usually get the Sweet Apple chicken sausages, but Rockford picked up the Italian style this week. Let’s just hope it complements our accompanying mac & cheese nicely.

Wednesday: Freezerpalooza
It’s high time we cleared out the freezer. Some of us will be having fish sticks, others will have veggie burgers.

Thursday: “STAR WARS” NIGHT

We’re going to pick up some sandwiches before we line up for the 7pm show!

Friday: Olive Garden
Rockford won an Olive Garden gift card in a raffle at work. I’m going to pick it up and bring it home for an evening in.

Speaking of raffles, I’ve got a coupon for 1 free package of any Al Fresco refrigerated item to give to one of you. Do the Rafflecopter’s bidding if you’d like a chance to win it!
