Leaving... and Arriving


Monday we made the “final” drive from the city to the Palouse. We packed up our cars and caravanned our way across the state. It wasn’t easy to say farewell to our families, friends, and the city we have fallen in love with and in. A new phase of our life has begun. We have been settling in quite nicely.

Today we filled our freezer full of food!! We went to Costco and the grocery store and spent the rest of the day cooking. Andrew is an excellent su-chef chopping etc.
We made turkey burgers, enchiladas, burritos, and mac and cheese.

Freezer Burritos
10 Whole wheat tortillas
½ lb Ground turkey
1 pkt Taco seasoning
Veggies of choice
1 can Kidney beans
1 can corn
1 can diced tomatoes
Salt, pepper, chili powder to taste
1 cup Cottage cheese
1 handful of spinach

Make filling: brown turkey, add seasoning. Stir in veggies (chopped carrots and mushrooms are great) beans, corn, and tomatoes, heat through, add salt pepper and chili powder to taste.
Assemble burritos: dollop cottage cheese, filling, and spinach on tortilla and wrap.
Lay assembled burritos on a cookie sheet, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for several hours or overnight.
Once burritos are frozen solid place in freezer zip lock and store in freezer
Reheat in microwave a few minutes depending on size of burrito and power of your microwave. (If burritos are extra large it is better to reheat in the oven at 375)
