I like the breakfast burrito idea - will have to try it out. Since I don't leave myself enough time in the mornings to sit down for breakfast (would rather sleep!), it has to be something I can eat in the car on the way to work - this would fit the bill, and be healthy, too.

Yum. Last night I had breakfast for dinner on the menu, only it was pancakes (so I'd have leftovers for the kids breakfast today). But I ended up making breakfast burritos (with leftovers for the kids breakfast today) and they were a huge hit. My 9 year old son said "these are better than the ones at McDonalds mom." With him if it's better than McDs then it is pretty good. They even warmed up well this morning and he went to school full and happy. Thanks for the idea.

And then do you cook them for 30 sec-1min in the microwave? Oh, and when you cook them, do you unwrap them first? @Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom,

I'm so intrigued by once a month cooking, but I have no idea how I would fit it all into my freezer!

Just last week I was able to pick up some markdown sausage for .25 a package because it was close to the expiration. I'm doing a delayed baking day, starting tomorrow so Im adding these to my list.
