breakfast quesadillas for the farmer in all of us
Good morning. I made you all breakfast! I hope you're hungry.
There are very few things in life more important to me than a hearty breakfast. (Okay, coffee and wine are tied here)!
We usually wake up with the sunrise and work until the sun sets. During the wintertime this schedule is different, but we still find that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you have long days, whether they are in a farm field or in a busy office, you know that breakfast can go a loooong way. Especially when you pair your breakfast with a HUGE mug of coffee.
These breakfast quesadillas are enough fuel to get a couple of farmers out the door and ready to tackle a long day of farm work. They will do the same for anyone who has a long day ahead of them. I promise.
Strength to shovel through rocky dirt? Of course! These breakfast quesadillas can make you do the impossible.
If you cannot eat dairy (like a lot of my friends) just omit the cheese. This will still work wonderfully!
