My first food post!
A note about how I cook: I tend to modify recipes. I rarely use a recipe straight from the book or website. This is mainly because my husband can be a picky eater and I'm only cooking for two. So sometimes I reduce excess fat or add more veggies, cut recipes in half or by 1/3 etc. I also try to buy only ingredients I'm going to use. Nothing super fancy for a single meal that will result in throwing away unused amounts. If I buy 3lbs of potatoes or a large eggplant, you bet we're going to be eating several meals with those ingredients in the next week.
I apologize now for the horrible photos. I'm not a food photographer and my kitchen has very bad lighting. BUT I'm not going to let that stop me since I have so many recipes I either love or want to try and share even with my bad photos.
Recipe: Make ahead breakfast burritos
Origin: Pinterest
Modification: No hashbrowns, not the full recipe
Motivation behind trying this recipe: My husband eats breakfast at school every morning after cross country practice. During the summer, I make either scrambled eggs, omelettes, burritos or oatmeal for breakfast every morning. Since I can't do that at school, I think this might be a good substitute for our busy schedule while still being filling and decently healthy.
What I used:
5 eggs
2TBS milk
1cup HEBs frozen fajita veggies (onion, green and red bell peppers)
4 slices Turkey Bacon
6 soft taco size flour tortillas (I like HEB original style)
1/3c cheddar cheese
Step 1. Cook the bacon
Step 2. While bacon cooks, beat the eggs and milk together and defrost the veggies.
Step 3. Cook veggies until onions are transparent.
Step 4. Add eggs to veggies and scramble. At this point, I broke the bacon into pieces and added it to the eggs near the end of cooking. I let the eggs cool before filling the tortillas
Step 6: For the burritos I wanted to freeze, I wrapped a layer of foil over the plastic wrap and popped them in the freezer.
To reheat, take the burrito out of the foil and plastic wrap. Place in moist paper towel and defrost for 30sec-1min. Then microwave for 1min flipping the burrito over after 30sec. Enjoy.
Future modifications: Whole Wheat tortillas

Step 5: Fill tortillas, sprinkle a little cheddar cheese and wrap in plastic warp. I over filled my tortillas so they didn't want to close on the ends.
To reheat, take the burrito out of the foil and plastic wrap. Place in moist paper towel and defrost for 30sec-1min. Then microwave for 1min flipping the burrito over after 30sec. Enjoy.

I wished I liked egg. I might make these for Curtis though. I think he would enjoy them.
