Make your own freezer burritos!

Two words: FROZEN BURRITOS

I found out how easy it is to make & freeze burritos when I was pregnant. When I got the nesting bug (which came mainly in cooking form) I stocked up our freezer with these burritos from Everyday Food. Two months after Cooper was born, I found a batch of them in the back of my freezer and they were like gold! Three minutes in the microwave and this momma was nourished just like that! The best part was that I was able to feed my husband…who really deserved a home cooked meal after all the countless diapers he changed!

Give the gift of Treats!

Let’s face it, this year giving presents will be a bit tough with the economy in the crapper. What better excuse to get into our kitchens and make stuff?!! It’s fun, rewarding and it’s a great way to show people that you care!!

I also find that baking late at night with a cocktail is VERY therapeutic. Agreed?

So I’ve compiled a little mash up of ideas for you!

If you want to treat your friends & family to some amazing candy, make:

Sweet Potato & Chipotle Soup

For tonight’s dinner, I made Sweet Potato & Chipotle Soup from the current issue of Everyday Food.

I am definitely adding this one to the Soup Rotation!

The recipe is labeled-“Smooth & Creamy with a Dash of Spice.”

They aren’t kidding! You would never guess that there isn’t cream in this soup. It’s velvety and thick! Definitely coats the back of a spoon.

The Perfect Fried Egg

Today I roasted some red peppers, zucchini & onions in the oven. I grilled a slab of herb foccacia with olive oil on our indoor grill pan….I fried the egg and the rest was history.
