Easy Dinner + New Scent

On By thefunkyfrugalistaIn RecipeLeave a comment

Some days I just don’t feel like cooking a big, made from scratch, meal. Last night I made one of the easiest dinners ever. Prep time took 5 minutes and everyone loved it.

You just take 8 frozen burritos. I get the bean and cheese in a bag from Aldi. 2 cans of enchilada sauce and a block of colby jack cheese. You can use whatever cheese you like, but i highly suggest grating it yourself because it just melts better.

Preheat oven to 375. Grease a 9×12 dish. Put the frozen burritos in the dish. Pour both cans of enchilada sauce on top and bake for 30 minutes. Put the grated cheese on top and bake for an additional 5 minutes. There you go, that’s it. I made cilantro lime rice to go with it. It’s even good heated up the next day if you happen to have leftovers.

I also picked this up from Aldi. I have a slice of sourdough toast every morning and this with it just hits the spot.

One thing I love about Fall is all of the spicy smells. I’m not a big pumpkin spice fan, but I love cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, etc. I found this Mrs. Meyers dish soap and had to give it a try. It smells so good. I normally use the lilac scent, but I love this for Fall.

It’s getting cooler outside and I’m loving it

Breakfast Bake

Last night I made the best breakfast casserole that was so easy. The kids normally don’t like casseroles, but by the end of the night I only had two servings left. Here’s the recipe.

1 can of flaky jumbo biscuits

1 tube of breakfast sausage

5 eggs

1/4 cup flour

2 cups milk + 1/2 cup milk

1/4 tsp pepper

salt to taste

preheat oven to 350° and grease a 9×13 dish

Brown sausage. After it’s browned add the flour and cook, stirring, for about 4 minutes. Add 2 cups milk, pepper and salt. Stir until thickened.

Cut biscuits into fourths and place in bottom of pan.

Add sausage on top.

Whisk the eggs with 1/2 cup milk. Pour over sausage.

Bake for 30 minutes. I added grated Colby Jack the last 5 minutes.

I just served fruit on the side. It’s really good.

When I put out our nativity set, there was no Mary and one of the wise men was missing. We found them today shacking up on our shed. (I had accidentally dropped the box they were in and didn’t realize they were missing)

The group is back together, except for the Shepard that was lost years ago. I also don’t think it came with a cow. One of the kids took that out of the farm set and added it in many many years ago.
