Freezerritos!

Everyone has a variation of freezer burritos and after reading many of the recipes I decided that it couldn't be simpler.

I should have prefaced this by, I really dislike the time consuming task of packing up lunch and breakfast for myself and D every day, but it's worth it because we eat better food and feel better.

Enter the Freezerrito.

You can crack out about 12 of these suckers in about 40 minutes. That includes cooking the eggs and whatever breakfast meat you want to add.

Week one I used Jimmy Deans breakfast sausage.
Week two (currently) I had a bunch of bacon that needed to be used so that's what I put in them.

I prefer sausage in my freezerrito I've decided.

Other add ins
Salsa
Green Onion
Cheddar Cheese


Freezerrito Recipe:
You'll need foil for wrapping
Ziploc freezer bag so they aren't rolling all around the freezer.
a couple sprays of non-stick cook spray
12 Whole Wheat 8 inch tortllas
12 eggs well beaten
1lb of breakfast sausage or meat of your choice
1 cup of obrien breakfast potatoes
2 cups shredded cheddar
4 diced green onions
1 container of fresh salsa

Cook the sausage, drain and set aside in a bowl.
Wipe the skillet, give it a couple toots of the non-stick spray and fry up your obriends till they are brown.
A couple more toots of non-stick spray and you can scramble your eggs... you want them slightly underdone because they will cook more when you reheat your freezerrito.

In a large bowl mix up the eggs, sausage and potatoes till they are all pretty evenly distributed amongst each other...

lay out 12 sheets of foil
stack up 12 tortillas

using a 1/3 measure cup or a large spoon put a scoop of egg mixture in the tortilla, sprinkle with about a tablespoon of cheese, a pinch of green onion, and a little salsa like a half a tablespoon. fold up the sides of your tortilla and roll from the bottom. Keeping the seam down, place on the foil and roll er' up tight and set aside.
repeat till done.

put them in the freezer and all week you'll have breakfast for you and yours... I have mine with yogurt and fruit on the side and it gets me to lunch. :)

When you go to reheat it really depends on the microwave you are using but anywhere from 2-3 minutes is good.

play around with them, change what breakfast meat you use, the cheese, the veggies, you don't have to use potatoes, I threw them in the first time because they were in the freezer, I didn't use them this week because, well there weren't any in the freezer...

once again I've failed to take a picture of the actual burrito and when I thought about it it was half gone and since it was on a cheap paper plate and not a pretty plate like I have at home I chose not to share my half eaten breakfast with you...

Happy Wednesday!!

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Spring Cleaning = no VK Live

I don't get a cleaning bug often. I truly dislike it. I would rather knit than scrub a toilet or polish something... But it happens that I get the urge to purge (too much listening to the Top Gun soundtrack this weekend) and when the momentum is high and lasts three days I won't fight it... I can't. Plus I probably saved at least $250.00 by not going to a knitting expo! Have you ever done a big ruthless purge on your stuff? You can learn a lot about who you are or who you have been... 1. I apparently have an affection for lined notebooks and notepads considering I've counted 17 in my living room alone. 2. I easily have 50+ knitting books on my shelf and have only knit one pattern from one of them. 3. 2011 I was a grumpy snot at Christmas. So grumpy I didn't even open any Christmas cards. I didn't thrown them out either apparently... I'll open them later today. 4. My sister-in-law M gives me some pretty awesome gifts. Funny notebooks (o...

quirks, questions, and things best remembered......

1. Two bads never ever equal a better. 2. Muffins or Cupcakes I will always eat the top last. D thought it would be funny one time to teach me a lesson regarding this little nuance of my behavior, so at a party he sees my cupcake top sitting on my plate and he walks by and quick stuffs it in his mouth. He said it was to teach me a lesson, but I think we all know who learned a lesson that night. 3. While it is always to have good oral hygiene habits for both man and beast alike I would like to strongly caution you against keeping the beasts tooth paste next to your own toothpaste. Trust me when I say the beast will get much more enjoyment from your toothpaste gracing his brushes bristles than you will trying to do a massive mouthwash flush of poultry flavored peppermint paste. Learn from my mistake...... 4. I always feel sorry for people who I either happen to be talking to or emailing at the moment my medication kicks in. It can't be fun, but you all are such good sports about it. ...
