Happy Sunday! Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend :)
It was a lazy Saturday around here, which I love! We lounged around in pj’s and had a leisurely late breakfast. I found these blintzes in my freezer (no idea when I bought these!), so I gave them a try…
I don’t think I’ve ever had a blintz before, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect or how to serve them. They looked like little burritos!
I followed the directions for baking them and just dug in…
They were pretty good. Nothing special, though. I think they need major doctoring up with powdered sugar and whipped cream! Hmmm… now that’s what I’m talkin about!
A leisurely breakfast always involves a big honkin’ cup of coffee. And a very special creamer…
Love…
I had a feeling the blintzes were going to leave me hungry fairly quickly. I was ready for lunch not long after. I was craving turkey and cranberry sauce -Thanksgiving is in the air! I settled for a turkey sandwich with cranberry mustard instead…
I was also in the mood for a Chobani (it’s becoming a serious addiction now), so I scooped a strawberry flavor into a bowl and topped it with tons more strawberries…
That was a good lunch!
We had to get out of our pj’s and head over to a cousin’s house for a jewelry/home entertaining demonstration. Of course, I had to buy serveware from the home collection. Can’t resist pretty dishes!
After the party, we planned on going to the park to play, but the weather wasn’t cooperating. We decided to pick up a movie instead and head home to make dinner.
I had bacon and beans on the brain! Ever since seeing Danica’s awesome recipe for Cheesy Bacon and Bean Stuffed Peppers , I couldn’t wait to make the filling for this. I made only a couple alterations – used 2 slices of bacon, no reserved bacon fat , this taco seasoning and Cabot’s 75% reduced fat cheddar cheese…
But, I’m not a huge fan of stuffed peppers, so I made stuffed zucchini instead…
I baked them per Danica’s directions and the result was delicious…
Served with a side of leftover spinach, this was one hearty meal!
I had tons of filling leftover, so I decided to use it to make Bean and Rice Burritos. I scooped leftover filling into a high fiber tortilla and topped it with the remainder of the cheese…
and rolled it all up…
Towering burritos ready for the deep freeze…
Thanks for the great recipe, Danica!
After my fiber-rific dinner (oh, which no one else ate but me –the husband and daughters had “made by me” cheesesteaks, but I know, I didn’t have to tell you that!! Although, husband had some of the filling and loved :) Progress!), we snuggled up (like burritos) to watch MALL COP which was the goofy kind of movie that the husband we enjoy. I indulged in a little dessert while watching the stupidity…
Mmmm…love. Would make a great mock Java Chip Frappuccino!
Off to make brekkie for the fam. Enjoy your day, everyone!
