Freezer Friday (Blueberry Muffins)

I am trying to use up items out of my freezer. I came across a bag of frozen blueberries Stephanie gave me before she moved so I decided to whip up a batch of blueberry muffins. They are great for breakfast now that the girls are out of school for the summer. These could be made and frozen also.
Blueberry Muffins

2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 stick butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries ( or you can use frozen)

Preheat oven to 350. Place paper liners in muffin tin. Sift flour with the sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon into a large bowl. Make a well in the center of flour mixture and add the melted butter, milk, eggs and vanilla. Stir just enough to moisten flour mixture. Gently fold in blueberries.
Spoon batter into muffin tin. Bake 25-30 minutes.

Tasty Tuesday ( Breakfast Pizza and Sandwiches)

I was cleaning out my refrigerator this morning and saw that I had 2 cans of crescent rolls and a dozen eggs that were going to expire this week. Yesterday Craig and I had cleaned out the pantry and I couldn't believe how much food we threw away that had expired. Not wanting to throw anything else away I decided to go ahead and make some stuff up. First I made a breakfast pizza ( well kind of , I am just not sure what else to call it lol) and then I made up some bacon, egg and cheese crescent sandwiches.

For the pizza I took one can of crescent rolls and spread them out of a pizza pan. You can top it with anything you would like but I used bacon, egg and cheese.

I then folded over the top part of the crescent.

Bake at 375 for about 15 minutes.

Cut and serve!

For the sandwiches I just unrolled each of the crescent rolls and topped with bacon, egg and cheese, Roll back up and bake at 375 for 10 minutes.

You could freeze these or just make them up and heat them over for breakfast all week. I am not a big breakfast person but these both were really good and so easy to make!

freezer friday breakfast burritos

Hello everyone today is freezer Friday and we are making breakfast burritos.

These are so simple to make and a great breakfast for my husband and son to take for breakfast in the morning.

This is what you need :

about 16 flour tortillas
1 lb sausage
1 dozen eggs
2 cups of cheese
This recipe made about 16 burritos.    
Brown sausage and drain set aside.  Scramble eggs.  Add sausage and cheese to  scrambled eggs.

  Place about half a cup of the egg mixture on a tortilla.  You can add more or less but this amount seemed to work best for me.

Then fold up the sides of them.  Next fold the ends over.  Like this

I next placed them folded side down on a backing sheet

Then place the backing pans in the burritos in the freezer for a couple of hours.   Then place your burritos in freezer bags or like I did in vacuum seal bags.

Then you can take them out of the freezer and heat in the microwave for a minute or two till warm.  Eat and enjoy.
