Freezer Burritos

Okay this recipe also came from Pinterest and was also a winner.  It's not REALLY a recipe, it's just something I did not know.  I found it here.  Who knew that you could make ahead burritos, freeze them, and then just stick them in the microwave when you're ready to eat.  I guess it makes sense since you can buy freezer meals, I just never thought to make my own.  


Freezer Burritos:

Basically, I cooked a batch of rice in my rice cooker along with a can of diced tomatoes, one chopped onion, and a clove of garlic.  I made a batch of burritos using the rice mixture, black beans, refried beans, chicken, cheese and salsa.  Then I wrapped them up individually and stuck them in the freezer.  When we're ready to eat them, we'll just unwrap them and stick them in the microwave for 3 minutes.  Perfect!

Crockpot Italian Chicken: 
Ingredients:
2-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (can be frozen)
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese (let sit out to soften- or stick it in the microwave)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 pkg. italian dressing seasoning (the dried kind in the packet)
rice or pasta

Stir the cream cheese, cream of chicken, and seasoning together in a medium bowl. Place the chicken in the crockpot and cover with the mixture. Cook on high 4-6 hours or until the chicken is cooked and fall-apart-tender. After the first two hours when the chicken is softer i cut it up into strips for easier eating, but it's not necessary.  Serve over pasta or rice.  Yumm!
