Breakfast burritos

A few months back I started getting our fruits and veggies from Bountiful Baskets.  It's a food co-op, and I LOVE it!  It's making me get a lot more creative in my cooking, and I'm making things fresh from scratch, rather than buying premade.  One thing I've been trying to do is double up on the menu planning.  One of my favorite ways to do this is to bake a bunch of potatoes, and have baked potatoes one night for dinner and also have some left over the next night's dinner.  So the next night, I slice up the potatoes, fry them, scramble some eggs with onion and green bell pepper, and put them on a corn tortilla (or flour, for those who eat it) with cheese, and top it with my homemade creamy cilantro lime dressing.  Oh my YUMMY!  It's become one of our favorites, and my little girls and I had it for lunch today. I will NEVER buy frozen hashbrowns or potatoes o'brien again.

My husband was gone this last week, so I was going for fast and easy dinners.  One afternoon I put a couple of chicken breasts in the crockpot with about half a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's (personal favorite for crockpot bbq), and after a few hours on high I shredded it, and we ate it over a bed of pasta with some Costco organic corn.  Yum!  The next night we had the baked potatoes, and then for lunch for DAYS after that I was eating a baked potato covered in melted cheese and topped with the leftover crockpot bbq chicken.  I was actually very sad today when I got the last baked potato out of the fridge, and realized I had finished off the chicken the day before.

One of the best things about these meals is that they are easy to adapt for those of us who eat gluten free, and my son who is also dairy free.

I'm always looking for ways to double up on meal prep, so if you have any good ideas, send them my way!  

Sorry there's no pictures of our yumminess, but it was gone so fast, it would have been a picture of an empty plate!  Here's a picture of my cute kids instead.  :)
