For the freezer

So needless to say these pictures are very old but I just found them on the camera and downloaded and thought I would still share them with you.

Before I started growing a jellybean---I had energy and spent Sunday's prepping and getting ready for the week.   Although those days are on hold - for the time being - I wanted to share this great idea for you

Breakfast Burritos for the freezer

You will need:
Tortillas - I use flour
Eggs
Turkey Sausage
Cheese - I use cheddar
Aluminum Foil

This is done best in an assembly line style.   For quantities it just depends how many burritos you are going to do.  For each tortilla you will need one egg, one sausage, and a sprinkle of cheese.   So you can do your quantities based on this.

I scramble the eggs and cook them - you can see that in the background.  As they are cooking (remember low heat to cook eggs or they will get tough) I put out the tort's and sprinkle the cheese on them.

I use the Jimmy Dean turkey sausage so you have to defrost and cook in the microwave and them slice them into small pieces
 Sprinkle a little bit of egg over the sausage and cheese and wrap them as you would a traditional burrito.
 Wrap the burrito's individually in foil and put in a pan for the freezer!
When you are ready to have one just take out of the freezer and pop in the microwave - I use the reheat button on mine and that seems to do the trick.

My caution is to eat these within the month or so.   I just think stuff like this is better eaten in a timely manner.

Enjoy!

Ole!

We have Mexican food of some sort at least once a week - G loves it and so do I.   Most weeks we just have taco's but sometimes we have enchilada's - recipe posted here.   Have to say not such a fan of the enchilada's in my knocked up state.  But I must have Taco Del Mar on the weekends.   Yesterday I had an unexpected trip to the Dr.   Everything is fine but those little visits always wear me out and I love my Dr and the clinic I go to but I am always a little shop worn after.  Luckily I got to work from home the remainder of the day but I needed dinner to be easy.  G had BBQ pretty much every night this week so it was time to move on from that.  So I went to my go to......TACO's!

Took some pics for you as well
All the veggies and cheese~we have salsa and sour cream as well

Pick your protein.  I am not such a fan of the meat in my current condition but G does both meat and beans

My finished product!  G does his in flower tortilla.
 And the even better news is I had leftovers for lunch!   So that made this morning packing process much easier.   Just need to remember to leave off the onions next time for the lunch.  Feel like I have dragon onion breath on everyone - oh well.

And as an extra bonus the sun is shining today - has been all week - and the rain is not coming until Monday.  Today is a good day energy level - have to say all in all I love being knocked up - its the journey of a lifetime and I would not trade it or J growing in my belly for anything in the world Maybe just maybe I will get the garden planted this weekend..........
