I simply love waffles.
Yes, they are my favorite breakfast food. I grew up eating a certain brand of frozen waffles and always felt like they were such a treat whenever they showed up on my plate in the morning.

Easy Freezer Burritos
Description
Don’t buy burritos anymore! Make them yourself with delicious, nutritious ingredients to fill you and nourish you.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup prepared quinoa*
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 3/4 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 1/2 cup tomatillo salsa
- 12 whole wheat or sprouted whole grain 8-inch flour tortillas
- 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the quinoa, black beans, corn, salsa and cheddar cheese.
- Lay tortillas out onto a clean work surface then spread 1/4 cup bean mixture down the middle of each tortilla.
- To roll: Fold one end of the tortilla to meet the other. Gently push back the tortilla and ingredients so they are tight. Fold outside edges inward, then roll until burrito is closed. Repeat the process with the remaining burritos.
To freeze
- Tear 12 sheets of foil. Place a burrito in the center of each piece of foil and tightly roll up. Place foil-wrapped burritos in a freezer bag. Label and date them before storing them in the freezer.
To enjoy
- Remove burritos from foil and place on a microwave-safe plate. Cover and cook on high heat for about 1 minute. Check and add more time if necessary. If you’re unsure, use a food thermometer and cook until internal temperature reaches 165’F.
Notes
- Makes 12 burritos

When life hands you lemons…
There was this time a few weeks ago when I really thought I had it together and then, poof, it all collapsed.
I felt great, I had this fantastic veggie burger recipe all queued up and then, life hit me. Not a literal punch in the face, more of like a “hey, stop biting off more than you can chew!” kind of way. Hence, the delayed post and hence why I have yet to update and face-lift my little blog here. But you’re here and I’m here now, so let’s celebrate that little victory, shall we?
