It’s 9am and I’ve been cooking for about a half hour already - it’s a freezer-stuffing-party today. On the menu:

• Brown bread
• Brown rice and black bean burritos
• Bran muffins

Yes, I am only cooking foods that start with B today it seems.

Saturday: 7pm Update

Well, the bread and muffins got baked. And so did I. I picked a stupidly hot day to do marathon baking. The burritos are half-ish made - well, the brown rice is cooked. I was too pooped to go out and get groceries, so they will get made tomorrow.

Instead, I sat in front of the fridge and gave it a head-to-toe cleaning. Because that’s what insane pregnant people do. Clean. And do dishes. And laundry. And vacuuming.

Monday update:

Well, the burritos are a total hit. Ok, so we only managed to freeze two out of the six that we made, but the recipe was so much quicker than my usual sweet potato version. (They are totally worth the effort though.)  I think the key to the ease of this burrito recipe was cooking up the brown rice on Saturday morning while I did the housecleaning.  Having the rice prepared made for a speedy assembly of the burritos.  I did add one extra step, I put the rolled burritos in the oven for about 10 minutes so that the tortilla gets a little crisp.  Sadly, I only have this one slightly blurry photo of the meal, but I’ll be making another batch this week that will go straight to the freezer.  And the Neil Brothers salsa?  Delicious.
