Meats

2. Brown the sausage.
3. Fry up the ham.
Roasted Red Potatoes
1. Preheat oven to 450.
2. Dry cubed potatoes with a towel to eliminate any extra water.
3. Toss the potatoes with 1/3 c olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper. Use additional seasoning (such as Emeril’s or Seasoning Salt) if desired.
4. Roast for 30 minutes until golden brown. Start checking at 20 minutes.
Scrambled Eggs:
1. Whisk 12 eggs and 1/2 c milk in a bowl until well combined.

Tortillas
1. Place 5-10 tortillas on a plate.
2. Cover with a wet paper towel.
3. Heat them in microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power.
4. This should be your last step. Heat the tortillas in batches.
Putting it all together
1. Set up an assembly line with all the ingredients.
2. Place the tortillas on a large baking sheet or cutting board.
3. Build your burritos – cheese, eggs, potatoes, meat
4. Fold in the sides of the tortilla.
5. Roll burrito up.
6. Pat firmly on top of the burrito making sure the seam is on the bottom.
7. Make sure the burrito is tightly rolled.
Let’s freeze these burritos...
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place burritos on the sheet, seam side down.
3. Press down on the burritos again lightly making sure that the edges are tucked in.
4. Place baking sheet in the freezer for an hour to flash freeze the burritos.
5. Remove from freezer and wrap burritos in plastic wrap individually.
6. Place in a Ziploc bag.
7. I ended up with 24 burritos.
To heat the burritos
1. Remove plastic wrap.
2. Wrap burrito in wet paper towel.
3. Heat for 3 minutes on 50% power.
4. Serve with fresh salsa – yummy!
Tips

Breakfast
Burrito Bites
These almost seem fancy, but the best part is these are so easy!
You can also make them ahead, freeze them and just pull out one serving at a time for breakfasts on the go.
Just reheat in the microwave and they are delicious!
You will need:
· 8 eggs
· 1/4 cup milk
· cheddar cheese grated
· 3 flour tortillas
· salt and pepper to taste
· toppings
· (You can really use whatever you want. I used spinach, bacon, ham, red peppers... but other ideas include: sausage, mushrooms, hash browns, onion, tomatoes, basil, zuchinni, squash, etc.
· You just have to make sure that the meat is precooked!!!
Make them…
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then, cut your tortillas into quarters. Grease a muffin pan and press a tortilla quarter into each spot. They don't have to be perfect, but do try to press the tortilla into the bottom to create a nice little cup. Set aside.
2. In a bowl, crack your 8 eggs and discard shells.
3. Add 1/4 cup milk and whisk well. You can add salt and pepper to taste. I leave it out because breakfast meats usually have salt. Set aside.
4. Finely chop all of your toppings. I used spinach, ham, bacon, and red peppers, but I have used a lot of other things from my list above and they are all delicious. That's the fun part. You can play around with it and make all kinds of combinations.
5. Sprinkle each tortilla cup with the toppings.
6. Pour egg mixture over the toppings.
7. Sprinkle cheese over each cup.
8. Bake, covered with foil, and in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes or until egg is cooked through. I uncover mine for the last couple of minutes to make the tortilla edges crispy.
ü To freeze: Set them nicely upright in a single layer on a parchment covered cookie sheet.
ü Pop in the freezer. When frozen place in large Ziploc freezer bags… and back in the freezer they go!
ü To eat, just remove desired amount from the bag, place on a plate and microwave till warmed through.
Omelet Potato
Breakfast Bites
Preparing a breakfast for your family ahead of time is a really good thing!
So make sure to have these around this Summer!
Someone is ALWAYS going to be hungry!
To make these Yummy Cups of Deliciousness…
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and make sure you grease your muffin tins really well, making sure to get both the sides and bottom.
2. Throw some Tater Tots in the microwave for a couple minutes to thaw. Then, place 3 in each standard size muffin tin. Take a small cup and squish them flat into the bottom of each tin. Bake your Tots for 10 minutes.
3. While you are waiting for them to cook, you can gather and chop up the rest of your ingredients. TOTALLY WHATEVER YOU LIKE… You can use red and green peppers, and 2 of the awesome Farmland precooked meats sausage links and diced ham. One of the reasons I love this recipe so much is because you can sneak all kinds of healthy things into your Breakfast bites. Other ideas include: spinach, mushrooms, onion, tomatoes, basil, zucchini, squash, etc.
4. After removing your tots from the oven, lower oven temperature to 350 degrees. Sprinkle your toppings over each cup. I love that this meat is precooked because it saves so much time.
5. Whip together 8 eggs and 1/4 cup milk with a fork.
6. Pour your egg mixture in each tin.
7. Sprinkle a little cheddar cheese on top of each cup.
Bake them at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until the egg is cooked through. To remove from the pan, I ran a butter knife around the edge of each one to loosen it from the sides, and used a fork to pop them out.
ü To freeze: Set them upright in a single layer on a parchment covered cookie sheet and freeze.
ü Place in a gallon Ziploc bag and pop in the freezer. To eat, just remove desired amount from the bag, place on a plate and pop in the microwave. They warm up perfectly.
Breakfast Banana Pops
This is like Summer on a Stick… It’s especially great for kids!
They freeze…they are yummy… and pretty darn healthy!! Great for Breakfast or a snack!!
· Yogurt of choice (Whole soy, Almond Dream, Silk, etc.)
- Granola of choice, or crushed cookies, or even graham crackers
- Add-on ideas: mini chocolate chips, coconut shreds, cinnamon sugar, raisins, etc.
- popsicle sticks to insert in the bananas
Make Them…
· Pour granola into a very shallow dish or plate.
· Peel bananas, cut in half, and insert Popsicle sticks.
· Dip into yogurt (or coat with a knife), then roll into granola and add-ons. (I stuck the chips on by hand, after rolling in the granola.)
· Place on a parchment or wax-lined tray and freeze.
· Keep uneaten pops in the freezer… in a freezer bag.

Double Green Smoothie

Note: When preparing these as frozen packs, you will include everything in a bag except the milk and/or ice. The milk and ice need to be added at the time you blend it to help out with the consistency.
1. Label the Bags
Once you've decided which smoothies to make, label the bag. Be sure to include how much milk and/ice to include when you're ready to blend it.
2.Grocery Shopping
Decide on how many smoothies you want to make and which recipes you are going to use. Create a grocery list of items you'll need. The nice thing about these smoothies is that they're all pretty similar and you don't need a huge variety of items.
3. Prepare the packs
Gather all of the ingredients for each recipe and stuff each bag with the desired items. I used frozen spinach and fruit which made the process much faster.
4.Ta da!
That's it! Just remember to add the milk and ice later and you're all ready to go! The best part about these recipes is that each one is under 200 calories and super healthy! It's a sneaky way to get your kids and husband to eat healthy too!
Thank you…all things Katie Marie
