    I remember two times that I was the most hungry I've ever been in my life - the 2 weeks after my first daughter was born, and the 2 weeks after my second was born. I often ate two breakfasts - one in the wee hours after nursing, and another mid-morning when my stomach started growling yet again. Because my nutrient needs were so high, and because I had limited time to prepare and eat food while I navigated the trying first couple of weeks with a newborn, I often turned to this super quick and easy pita breakfast sandwich.

        I haven't tried freezing them, but I bet you can! I would wrap them individually in plastic or foil once cooled and then freeze and place in a freezer bag once firm. I'm not sure what the reheating time would be.
