Cooking up a Storm!





So since my awesome hubby did all the dishes on Friday I actually had a desire to cook!  Yesterday the kids and I made zucchini bread muffins, and my friend Sarah's sister's recipe of breakfast cookies (that's what we're calling them).  I also made some fresh salsa as well. 


Grocery shopping was also on my to do list this week and since I finished 2 weeks worth of food in 45 minutes (I rock!!!) I decided to make one of my easy go to lunches for the kids and Chad.  Brown bag burritos is such an easy recipe that I got off of one of moneysavingmom"s meal plans, however, she got it from here.  My first time making them I thought they were a little too salty, so I didn't add any salt to my refried beans and it was MUCH better, however, if you are using canned refried beans I would just omit the salt in the recipe.  Oh, and before I forget, here is the refried beans recipe I use, so easy, and tastes WAY better then canned even if you use oil.  I wish I kept my bacon grease on hand for cooking, but we so rarely have bacon and Chad usually cleans up, it just doesn't happen. But I am sure bacon grease would make them even more amazing! 

Anyway, I love this recipe because it is so quick and easy to make, assemble, and reheat!  Plus, who doesn't love that 2 lbs of beef makes 20 burritos!!
