Breakfast and lunch ideas that you can prep ahead

Assembling the burrito
Ingredients of the burrito
 
One recipe is for a burrito.  This can be used as a lunch burrito or changed up into a breakfast burrito.
Either or both, if you have the meat cooked ahead of time, this is a quick, easy and tasty go to breakfast and lunch! 
 
Burrito Recipe:
1-2 pounds of grass fed beef or venison (for lunch)
1/2-1 med onion diced
taco seasoning (make your own of use a premade mix that does NOT contain MSG, or added sugar)
1-2 limes
fresh cilantro (optional)
salt
tortillas (homemade or gluten free)
organic cheddar cheese or raw cheese shredded
sour cream (or plain greek yogurt)
toppings as you wish: avocado, black olives, lettuce, tomato, jalapenos, bell pepper
 
Brown your meat, salting to taste & cooking the onion in with the meat, drain if necessary.  Add the taco seasoning and stir to combine.  Squeeze the juice of 2 limes over 2 pounds of meat and add chopped cilantro, stir to combine all.  Store this meat mixture in fridge or freezer until ready to use and then assemble burrito as you wish.
*to make this a breakfast burrito, use ground turkey sausage instead and add scrambled egg, cheese and salsa.  Serve with a side of fresh sliced avocado.
 
Individual pizza crusts, before and after baking

This is another breakfast or lunch idea that you can have easily at your finger tips if you do a little prep ahead of time!
 
Personal Pizza recipe:
First make your crust.  I use the recipe from www.paleospirit.com and simply make it onto smaller individual pizzas baking for 12 min.  Everything else is the same as their paleo pizza crust recipe.
Once those crusts are prebaked, let them cook completely and the store in a zip lock bag in the fridge or freezer.  Also precook some turkey sausage or beef or venison and keep it in the fridge.  Then when ready to assemble, top the crust with sauce, meat and cheese, and microwave or toaster oven heat till cheese is melted!  If making a breakfast pizza, I scramble and cook in a microwave safe bowl, some egg to also top my pizza with.  Get creative and make it how you like it!  If you want lots of veggies as a topping, be sure on your prep day to go ahead and finely chop those veggies so they are at your finger tips when you are ready to eat!  You could also send this pizza as a homemade lunchable in your kids lunch to school. 
Comment below on what you add to your pizzas and how the kids like them!
 
*We have also use a waffle as the crust of our pizza when we didn't have any crusts premade for our breakfast pizza!  *
