Need a quick, protein-packed breakfast or snack? Of course you do. We all do. You can make these breakfast burritos over the weekend and then microwave them as needed over the course of the week. They're delicious, inexpensive, and ready in 1 minute 30 seconds from when you take them out of the freezer.<br />
<br />
The following recipe makes about 9 breakfast burritos, depending on how full you stuff your tortillas.<br />
<br />
10 eggs<br />
9 burrito-sized tortillas<br />
1 lb. bacon (Buy the bacon ends and pieces. They're cheaper, and you're going to chop them up anyway)<br />
1 cup (or more) shredded Cheddar<br />
salt and pepper<br />
Olive or vegetable oil<br />
<br />
Heat a tablespoon of the oil in a skillet on the stove. While it heats up, whisk the eggs in a bowl. Pour the eggs in the skillet and scramble them until they're no longer runny. Season them with salt and pepper. Set aside. Cook the bacon in a skillet or the microwave until it is crispy. Drain the bacon and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Warm the tortillas by wrapping 3 or 4 at a time in a damp paper towel and microwaving them for 30 seconds. Lay the tortillas out on your countertop, and divide the eggs, bacon, and Cheddar cheese among them. Fold two sides in and roll each tortilla up. Place the burritos on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, not touching, and put them in the freezer for at least one hour. Remove the burritos from the freezer and roll each one in a paper towel. Place all the burritos in a gallon-size zippered plastic bag, and label it.<br />

1 1/2 pounds LEAN ground beef (if you don't use lean, you will have some oil to scrape off the top of he sauce after it's fully cooked)<br />
1 1/4 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs (less breadcrumbs is a preference for some people, but I find this helps them stay together in the crock pot. You can also mix regular bread crumbs with Italian seasoning...)<br />
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (I often use dried and less than this because my husband isn't a big fan of parsley...and it tastes just fine)<br />
2 cloves garlic, minced (I've also used dried...works fine)<br />
1 medium yellow onion, chopped (or a few tablespoons of onion powder, if you're onion haters like us)<br />
1 egg, beaten<br />
You can also mix in basil, oregano, sugar, etc...depends on taste preference.<br />
<br />
1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce<br />
1 (16 ounce) can crushed tomatoes<br />
1 (14.25 ounce) can tomato puree (Basically you just need enough sauce to cover all the meatballs. I also add some extra flavor in the sauce. Throw in some onions or garlic or whatever you like to make the sauce pop.)<br />
<br />
Directions<br />
In a bowl, mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, parsley, garlic, onion, and egg. Shape the mixture into about 16 meatballs.<br />
In a slow cooker, mix the spaghetti sauce, crushed tomatoes, and tomato puree. Place the meatballs into the sauce mixture. Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours. (I often start on low and then finish on high...just a preference)<br />
<br />
Directions for meatballs subs:<br />
Take a hero roll, slice in half lengthwise and put cheese slices (I stick the the "white" cheeses - swiss, provolone, monterey, etc.) on BOTH sides of the bread. Broil for 3-4 minutes, or until cheese bubbles and bread is toasty on the edges. Place about 6 meatballs on the sub and make sure to put enough sauce without it spilling over the edges. Cut in half and enjoy! :)Cyndi The Greathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04698148761885185569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261825652610218508.post-18011483913448909282012-01-11T08:50:00.001-08:002012-01-11T08:51:00.613-08:00Patriotic Trifle<h2 style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 21px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><div class="pod ingredients" style="color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCaS8cQ93wcsQDN_aK-irDIb7n3F3SzHhyphenhyphenU12-rXlgph2Sca7NLybZqaAENjN_ACHOC7iWWy6mP6xilU1WbpvT7kvTgE90cN8qptlgSTGH_B86q88hVJU2KRQu_ruQX0sGHuLyv5-aUCMj/s1600/pic3yecAP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCaS8cQ93wcsQDN_aK-irDIb7n3F3SzHhyphenhyphenU12-rXlgph2Sca7NLybZqaAENjN_ACHOC7iWWy6mP6xilU1WbpvT7kvTgE90cN8qptlgSTGH_B86q88hVJU2KRQu_ruQX0sGHuLyv5-aUCMj/s320/pic3yecAP.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><ul style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 420px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><li class="ingredient" itemprop="ingredients" style="float: none; font: normal normal normal 13px/18px Arial, sans-serif; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 17px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="ingredient" style="outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;"><span class="amount" style="outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;"><span class="value" style="outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;"><br />

<br />
1 Avacado<br />
1 Ruby Red Grapefruit (you will probably only need half of it)<br />
2 1/2 cups arugula lettuce<br />
Avocado based dressing OR raspberry vinaigrette OR homemade dressing (see below)<br />
Ground black pepper (to taste)<br />
Sea Salt (to taste)<br />
<br />
Other optional ingredients:<br />

I love carrots, and I find this is one carrot recipe that pleases an entire table - even carrot haters. I sometimes omit the parsley. Great for thanksgiving!<br />
<br />
2 tablespoons butter<br />
1/4 cup brown sugar<br />
2 tablespoons spicy mustard or regular prepared mustard<br />
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)<br />
3 cups sliced carrots (whole baby carrots work fine too)<br />

<br />
Preparation:<br />
<br />
Cook and drain carrots (until crisp tender)<br />
<br />

You can also put salsa, tomatoes, parmesan cheese - whatever you like for topping on it. The key to making it taste the same is to get the Costa Vida ranch.

It was yummy!<br />
<br />
1 chicken<br />
1 pack Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix (herb)<br />
1 (8 oz.) sour cream<br />
1 can cream of chicken soup<br />
1 onion chopped<br />
1/4 c. butter<br />
<br />
Roast or stew one chicken and debone. Mix 3/4 pack of stuffing mix and butter. Mix sour cream, 2 cups chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. Stir in chopped onioin, water chestnuts, and chicken. Top with remaining stuffing mix. Bake at 325 to 360 for 45 minutes. Serves 8.<br />
<br />
If you stew the chicken you can save by using the broth the chicken was cooked in. <br />
<br />
Good with water chestnuts, apples, walnuts, to add some crunch. Use 2 cups of chicken broth if you stew the chicken use the broth.Gingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09550234590517542984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261825652610218508.post-3915801511473441942011-01-04T08:44:00.000-08:002011-01-04T09:06:13.741-08:00Best Ever Banana Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting<div>Prep Time: 15 mins Total Time: 1 1/4 hr Serves: 16, Yield: 1 9x13 pan<br /><br />Ingredients<br />1 1/2 cups bananas, mashed, ripe </div><div>2 teaspoons lemon juice </div><div>3 cups flour </div><div>1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda </div><div>1/4 teaspoon salt </div><div>3/4 cup butter, softened </div><div>2 1/8 cups sugar 3 large eggs </div><div>2 teaspoons vanilla </div><div>1 1/2 cups buttermilk </div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div>Frosting<br />1/2 cup butter, softened </div><div>1 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened </div><div>1 teaspoon vanilla </div><div>3 1/2 cups icing sugar </div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div>Garnish<br />chopped walnuts<br /><br />Directions<br />Preheat oven to 275°.<br />Grease and flour a 9 x 13 pan.<br />In a small bowl, mix mashed banana with the lemon juice; set aside.<br />In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.<br />In a large bowl, cream 3/4 cup butter and 2 1/8 cups sugar until light and fluffy.<br />Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in 2 tsp vanilla.<br />Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk.<br />Stir in banana mixture.<br /><br />Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in preheated oven for one hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.<br />Remove from oven and place directly into the freezer for 45 minutes.
