{Recipe} : Freezer Breakfast Burritos!

Honestly, lists are amazing!

I accomplished 3 of my 4 goals for the week and it's only Wednesday!! Woo-hoo! Yesterday, I replaced our stove lights (took 20 minutes to find the light bulbs at Target!!!) and started my recipe book! Today, I took Eugene to school and spent the day with my mom and my sister chillaxing, eating, walking around in the sun and shopping. It was so sweet! I took a two-hour nap at my mom's place, so when I got home today I was so well rested that I decided to make my breakfast burritos! 

This was surprisingly very easy and way quicker to make than the freezer burritos I made a few months ago. Freezer burritos are great when you're really busy and you need food on the go. Because our busiest and most rushed times are in the mornings nowadays, I figured breakfast burritos would be a good idea! So off we go!

First, gather your ingredients!

Chop, chop, chop! Mr. Milk meets the bowl of eggs. 

Sausage cooked, egg scrambled and tortillas warmed.

All ready to gather into a perfect little breakfast burrito!

Rolled up as tight as you can! This is the hardest part!

Individually wrap with foil and freeze! {the last one didn't fit.}

Next time I'm gonna try making them bigger. These were pretty dinky... but portion control's good, right? :)

3. Pepper the sausage and mash it up with your hands with your hands. Heat up a fry pan with some olive oil and cook the meat until browned. Set aside.

When ready to eat, remove foil and wrap with moist paper towel. Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes on high power, or until fully cooked.. Cool and enjoy!

this was the best instructional photo I could find on how to wrap a burrito.

Bon Apeitit!  We shall let you know how it tastes when we try it tomorrow :o)

give thanks: air conditioning, good music, chicken noodle soup at souplantation, hand lotion, time with my family, seeing eugene after a long day, nightly prayers

** Update: It was delicious! Make sure to give the wet paper towel a good squeeze so the burritos don't get too soggy and only microwave for 1 1/2-2 minutes. Wait for them to cool, they're HOT! :)
