I just opened up the blog to write a post about prayer, and I see that my wonderful mom wrote one just today! If you missed it, just click here. At times I feel hopeless and powerless to do anything to help the hard situation in which we find ourselves right now. But then I remember that Prayer Changes Things.
James 5:16 The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
And I feel kind of silly posting a new recipe post today, but honestly, when I’ve been praying lately and asking God how I am to live right now, I feel that he is impressing upon me to make home as welcoming, gentle, and life-giving as I possibly can. My family (and yours) needs a respite from the very harsh, difficult world. We can offer the gifts of wonderful food several times a day. We can gather around welcoming table and have uplifting conversation in which we share our trials and triumphs.
This leads me to these wonderful healthy breakfast burritos.
A few weeks ago, our wonderful neighbors brought over the most fantastic gift: a box of healthy freezer breakfast burritos. This delivery came during the crazy, busy time of December when there is wrapping and shopping and school work to finish before the holidays, etc., etc., etc. Needless to say, these have been SO wonderful to have in the freezer for some super quick, easy, scrumptious breakfasts. I wanted to share these with you today, because filling up our freezers with healthy recipes like this is such a great way to get a jump on healthy, organized New Year’s goals.
I LOVE this recipe because it is SO delicious, filling, and really healthy. Using turkey sausage and bacon and low-carb tortillas make these burritos especially nutritious. Plus, it was so great that the kids could just pop one in the microwave for a minute, and their breakfast was ready to go.
We will be making a HUGE batch of these soon to fill up the freezer.
To put your morning really over the top, serve these with some delicious homemade salsa and guac.
- ½ lb ground turkey breakfast sausage
- ¼ bag frozen chopped onions
- 6 eggs, scrambled
- 2 C frozen hash browns
- ½ lb bacon, cooked and crumbled (use regular or turkey)
- 1 C shredded Cheddar cheese
- 10 flour tortillas (optional- use low carb, such as Mission Carb Balance)
- 1 pkg Press n Seal wrap
- In a large skillet, over high heat, brown the turkey sausage and onions. Remove from pan.
- In the same skillet, over medium heat, cook the scrambled eggs. Remove from pan.
- In the same skillet, over medium- high heat, brown the hashbrowns, turning just once, after about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine sausage/onion mixtures, eggs, and hashbrowns. . Place mixture inside tortillas and sprinkle with cheese. Wrap tightly in Press n Seal Wrap, and freeze.
- To prepare: Microwave individually without wrap for 1-2 minutes, or until warmed through.
- Optional: Brown burrito in a skillet over medium-high heat after microwaving for 2 minutes per side. (this really makes it taste likes its from a restaurant!)
As I wrote about above, cooking great food and gathering around the family table are some of the components that are making our lives so much better right now. We are also reading some awesome books. Here are my current favorites:
I am reading this each morning as part of my daily quiet time with the Lord:
My fifteen year old is reading this for her English class and I am joining her! The first line says, “It was the worst of times, it was the best of times!” How apt!
I am reading this one aloud to my younger kids as part of our study of the Middle Ages:
And if you’re new around here (welcome to all of our new visitors!), you might not know that we recently published this book together. Its full of ideas to help gather together with those you love!

What size is your bag of onions?
