Poor College Student Chow-Vol. 1

Oh the things I would make when I was a poor college student...

I would make a bunch of cheesy bean burritos, wrap them in foil and freeze. And when I wanted one for dinner, I would just remove the foil and bake or zap in the microwave.
In your face Taco Bell!!!

So seeing as I have a can of beans, cheese, salsa, and tortillas. I thought I would get nostalgic and make some burritos.

5-6 flour tortillas (depending on tortilla size)
1 can refried beans
1 Tbsp taco seasoning (optional)
1 C shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 C salsa or hot sauce (Back when I was a poor college student, I didn't always have the luxury of salsa, but hot sauce...oh yes!)
Foil about the size of a sheet of paper, one for each burrito

Mix beans with taco seasoning in a large bowl. Scoop about 1/4 C or so of the bean mixture in the middle of each tortilla. Top with cheese and salsa. Roll up and wrap in foil. You could put them all in a large ziploc and label with the date or you can just go old school and use masking tape and a sharpie like I do, lol! Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes with foil. For Microwave I would just remove the foil and zap for 2 minutes.


These were great after a night of drinking, I mean studying. Nothing like a burrito after a night of bahama mama wine coolers. Not that I would know this by experience or anything!

How momma got her (blog) groove back!

 Yeah, I've taken a long blog sabbatical. But, it is time to get back at it. Let's face it being a mom is hard work and being a first-time mom is even harder. So, if baby boy goes to bed before midnight haha I'll use my precious spare time to pour a glass sit back and whine  a bit!
