I am experimenting with recipes for freezing breakfast burritos. We have a large supply of peppers, potatoes, and onions from the garden. We also have a good supply of eggs from our chickens.
So why not utilize it into freezer meals for breakfast? Kind of a neat way to stock up differently.
First we made a batch with home grown onions, green peppers, potatoes and home canned salsa. Then we added some sausage and a bit of cheese. Oh, and the kids opened another jar of home canned taco sauce to top these tasty burritos.
Next, I made a batch with the same starter veggies, but added spinach in place of sausage and cheese. Yum. I used four types of peppers from the garden for this batch. Yum! Next? Hmm? Got any ideas?
I guess we'll need to invest in a large freezer now. Sigh...(in a good way).
The Weekend....
Saturday I spent the most part running around town to get the one car fixed up - new washer blades, fluid. Then I made a quick trip to the thrift store for pants for a school event, for one of the girls. I picked a huge basket of all the peppers I could fit in my basket from the garden, and more onions. There is more out there yet.
I finished the night by making a trip to urgent care, then coming home to take photos of my 15 year-old for homecoming. I ended the night with my own version of Chex Mix, and watched a movie with two of the girls.
Sunday I unfortunately did laundry. We expected snow, but got some drizzle early in the day. I prepped a pan of rosehips for a dye (I had to go out and pick more), then made a big pot of hot cranberry punch. I sipped it and tried to update the homesteading journal. I got out my Christmas Journal and made notes on food lists, and foods to make this year. I went through my gift ideas and picked a few to work on. Then I worked on a knitting.

My Saturdays are pretty much completely taken up by the Farmers' Market and Sunday is grocery shopping and laundry catch up.
