Frozen make ahead breakfast burritos

My husband is always telling me to grab some breakfast before I rush out the door in the morning. Recently is has been a cup of coffee and a banana. And I am hungry around 10 way before lunch time. So I found this pin on make ahead breakfast burritos. I though this would be a great idea. After getting the baby ready for the day, the older kid off to school and myself ready for work , I never will have time to fix a decent breakfast.

I just made 6 breakfast burritos. It took me about 30 mins from start to finish. I would have made more but I ran of shells. I used one dozen eggs and one sausage package. It would have made 9 maybe. 10 burritos if I had more shells. I haven't tried one yet after they where frozen so I will update on Monday after I had my first one.

Here is the link to pin I used to make them. http://pinterest.com/pin/177329304047995558/

Update- this is totally worth it. I had a weeks worth of breakfasts for husband and myself for $6. My husband suggested toasting the shells because he said they were a bit soggy. I thought they where fine.

Weight Watchers test

Hi everyone. I am going to be testing Weight Watchers ideas this week and will report on what I tired and what worked (or didnt work). I am not a member of watch watchers so I am just posting the points value according to the post from pinterest. I think this will be interesting. I understand the points value that WW have so I know if I see something that is extremely low or high, I wont try this. I have been wanting to try the roasted cauliflower snacks. They just look good in the picture and I love cauliflower. I am a huge veggie eater, not so much fruit so most of my post might be mostly veggies.

Mattress refresher

Use baking soda and some fragrant oil to make a quick refresher. I used fresh linen oil and sprinkled on my son's bed. He said it smelled like I washed it.

Easy truffles

The pinner said this was "most sinfully delicious treats ever!". They looked good in the picture as just about every pin does. They seem very simple. Cake mix, Sweetened milk, and chocolate to dip them in. How hard could it be and I LOVE truffles. I made these and they turned out horrible. They had no flavor to them at all. I did exactly as the pin said. I am glad I tired a small batch before making them for a function or something. The outside was chocolate so that was ok. But the inside just tasted like cake mix straight from the box. I was expecting something creamy or maybe fudge like. I might try to them again with maybe different flavor cake mix just to see if it was the plain vanilla cake mix that did these truffles in or if it was just a bad pin. I will update when I try again.

Turn an old wipe container into a disposable bag container

This pin shows you how to roll up all those plastic bags into a neat container so you can just pull out a bag when you need it. If you are like me, you just wad up the bags into one bag until it is full and toss it under the sink. Well not any more. I have been trying to use the reusable bags from the store lately but I can always reuse the plastic bags I have and  I have a lot of plastic bags that I use for trash bags in the car, to rebag things in the house like kid's clothes that do not fit any more, for gardening work, etc. I though it was going to take me forever to roll up the bags but I realized after I got started, it was not going to take me long at all. The instructions on this pin is easy to follow and it does work. Just do not roll the bags to tight or when you pull them out, they will all try to come out. I am sure you can also use baby wipe containers but I just recently emptied a container just like the pin so I use that.

Here is the link to the pin.

4 ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

These peanut butter cookies are the best!!!!!! My husband ask me all the time to make them. When I do make them, they do not last more than a day in my house. One batch is kind of small. It makes about 12 small cookies but I usually double the ingredients and make 24 cookies instead. They are soft, and super easy to make.

1 cup peanut butter,
1 cup sugar,
1 egg,
1 teaspoon vanilla.
Bake 350 degrees at 10 min. (do not bake at a high temp, these cookies burn easily)
