Breakfast Burritos

 
From This

To This 


Cost breaks down to about $0.52 each for 16 burritos or less if items on sale. Much bigger, better and healther than the fast food versions. I have added shredded or baked potatoes, salsa, sour cream, red and green peppers to mine to make it even better.

Just take out of foil before work, place in microwave and out the door you go.

Enjoy making your own here.

Blueberry Muffins

Yields 12

Bake 400 20-22 mins

2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour or All Purpose
2 Tsp Baking Soda
1/2 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Vanilla
2/3 Cup Milk
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup Butter (melted)
1/3 Cup Sugar
1/3 Cup Light Brown Sugar
1 Cup of Blueberries
12 Muffins Wraps

1) Melt butter. Wash blueberries well, sprinkle with flour and sit aside. I add the flour so they won't drop to the bottom of the muffins.

2) Mix flour, baking soda, salt and both sugars. Mix butter, eggs, vanilla and milk.

3) Combine wet and dry mixtures, then fold in blueberries.

4) Fill 12 muffin tins full of mixture in wraps and bake 20-22 minutes. Let cool and enjoy.

Note: These freeze very well just store individually in saran wrap in a freezer bag. Or store in a airtight container in fridge for up to 2 days max. Otherwise they will taste stale. I also sometimes swap the blueberries for a half bag of chocolate chips. If you would the whole bag it would be too much.

Banana Bread


Yields 1 Loaf

Recipe adapted from Recipe Key

Ingredients:

1 cup All Purpose Flour
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
3 Mashed Bananas
2/3 cup Sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup Butter (melted)
1/3 cup Brown Sugar

1) Mix flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl.

2) Beat Bananas, sugar, egg and melted butter in separate bowl.

3) Combine dry and wet ingredients and pour in greased loaf pan.

Bake on 375 for 1 hour.

Note: You can see from the picture above I doubled the recipe and made two loaves. If your top rack in too close to the broilier the top of the bread will cook faster then the inside. Check on the bread after 40 mins with a cake tester or toothpick to test, if still wet just keep watching. I also always wrap mine in saran wrap and store in freezer bags. Makes it easy for breakfast or a quick snack. Just pop in microwave for about 20-30 seconds from freezer.

Crockpot Applesauce


I had so much fun making this and I look forward to making apple butter soon using the same recipe. This was so easy I will not be buying in store again. Yes, definitely avoiding the yucky preservatives and High Fructose Corn Syrup. Enjoy!

Yields 4 cups

9 cups Chopped and Peeled Apples
1/4 cup sugar or honey
1/2 cup Water
1 tab Lemon Juice

Peel the apples and use an apple core to remove middle and chop the apples.

Cook in crockpot for 4 hours on high. You can add in 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. If you use more than this it may get really strong. Of course each time you make it you can adapt more and more changes. Once apples are soft use an immersion blender or fork and make smooth or chunky.

Store in a jar for up to three weeks in the fridge or freeze in ziploc bags.

Note: Best sweet apples are Red Delicious, Empire, Fuji, Granny Smith or Regent.

Homemade Bagels


I can't believe how easy these were to make. If you google homemade bagels there are lots of different recipes and ways to make them. I used the below method and it works well. All you need is flour, water, yeast and salt. Now the next time I make this I will try it with bread flour to see if it gives a more bread like texture. But I think the All Purpose can work just as well.
