Buffalo Chicken Wraps

Mmmm do you love chicken but need something new?! Try these buffalo ranch wraps! 

1 organic chicken breast tender 
1 romaine lettuce leaf 
1 tbsp. buffalo sauce 
1 tbsp. ranch dressing 
More than a pinch of mozzarella 
*should have added chopped tomatoes and red onion! 

This was yummmay! The lettuce wrap offers a cool crunch to the spicy buffalo and the chicken is crunchy but tender :)

How would you make it your own?! 

Breakfast Burrito Bliss

   Breakfast has been proven to be one of the most important meals of the day. It boosts your metabolism for the day and prepares you to take on the day like the awesome person you are. It "breaks the fast" your body has been in from hours of sleeping. I've had many followers ask for meal ideas and recipes so here are a few of my favorite. Looking for more?

    I love breakfast. Eggs especially; they pack a protein punch and they're quick and easy to cook. But just an egg every few days can get boring. Luckily, they're versatile!

Ham, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Burrito Bliss:
Ingredients:
-1 large cage free egg
-1 oz. honey ham (or 2 slices)
-1/2 slice Muenster cheese
-Tiny splash of milk
-1 small breakfast burrito

Whisk the egg with the splash of milk, pour into lightly heated pan. (Use cooking spray!) Once egg starts to lightly cook, throw in chopped ham and cheese. Finish scrambling. Place in warmed tortilla. Enjoy! Easy- peasy! It takes maybe 7 minutes all together.

Want to make it your own? Add avocado or a little bit of salsa, use turkey instead of ham or try shredded mozzarella cheese. Play around with it, you could eat a breakfast burrito every day of the week and still not eat the exact same thing! Variety is key; the more you switch up what you eat, the more likely you are to get a wide range of nutrients and keep your body guessing as to what's next.
