Frozen Breakfast Burritos

Something I've wanted to do for a while is to cook in bulk. This allows me to have more food ready more quickly. Today I went for it. I cooked breakfast burritos for my wonderful husband to quickly grab in the morning. This way, he can spend more time doing other things in the morning and not have to worry about making a healthy and filling breakfast. This also helps me serve him in other ways as he's getting everything together and getting out the door. I'm sure there are many wonderful recipes out there, but below is what I came up with! Enjoy!
Breakfast Burritos:

  • 12 eggs
  • About 3 medium sized potatoes
  • 1 tube sausage
  • 10-12 tortillas
  • About 1 cup of grated cheese
  • 1/2 of a medium onion, chopped
  • Salt, pepper, garlic, cayenne pepper, paprika (depends how much you like!)
1.) Cook sausage in a large skillet (large enough to fit all the ingredients later). Once cooked, place on a plate lined with paper towels (to soak up grease) and set aside.
2.) Peel and chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large pot of boiling water and cook until tender. Strain and set aside.
3.) Crack all eggs into a large bowl and add spices. (I also added a splash of milk here). Break the yolks and whisk them together. Set aside.
4.) Take the large skillet and saute the onion until tender. Add the egg mixture and cook/scramble the eggs and onion. When everything's almost cooked, add the sausage, cheese, and potatoes and mix it all together. Finish cooking and set aside.


5.) Take a tortilla and fill it with the egg mixture (I used a generous 1/2 cup scoop). Fold it into a burrito and set aside.


6.) Take each burrito and wrap in foil. Add these to a large freezer bag and toss in the freezer.

7.) Enjoy whenever! Great with sour cream & salsa!

Kombucha Update!

I am pleased to report that Jesse and I both have tried Kombucha brewed in the Bibee Household (Est. 2010). I bottled the tea (through a strainer and funnel) and put it in glass containers in the fridge. It is ....actually good. Not by itself, but it's good. We just put a little bit in some lemonade (Lemon-Bucha as Mary calls it I think), or even some juice. It does add flavor and it is yummy! The fizz is a great little addition as well. I'm still a little skeptical, but just wingin it.
