Bean burrito casserole

This falls under cheap and fast but still delicious meals. A refried bean burrito full of shelf stable products that you can whip up in seconds, especially wonderful for late nights after attending all your students' shows! I like to keep shredded cheese and flour tortillas in my freezer for these recipes and highly recommend you add them to yours!

Ingredients:

garlic, minced

bunch scallions, sliced

14.5 ounce can whole peeled tomatoes

2 teaspoons taco seasoning

16 ounce can refried beans

4 ounces shredded cheddar jack

6 six inch flour tortillas

apple cider vinegar, oil, salt and pepper

Method:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Drain the tomatoes, then finely chop; transfer to a small bowl. Add half of the scallions, 1 tablespoon vinegar, and 1⁄2 teaspoon minced garlic; toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

In a medium bowl, stir to combine 3 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon oil, 2 teaspoons taco seasoning, and remaining chopped garlic. Add beans and 1⁄3 cup of the tomato salsa, stirring to combine. Stir in half of the cheese .

Lightly oil a medium baking dish. Brush both sides of each tortilla with oil, then spread nearly 1⁄3 cup bean filling down the center. Roll up into cylinders and place seam-side down in prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Spoon remaining salsa over burritos. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake on upper oven rack until casserole is bubbling, and tortillas are browned in spots, about 15 minutes.

Let bean burrito casserole stand for 10 minutes, then garnish with remaining scallions and serve. Enjoy!

Raspberry Pomegranate Jam

Tis the season to be making homemade gifts! Pomegranates are in season and their juice is a festive deep ruby red color. I knew I had to make them into a jam to give away. Straight pomegranate flavor is a little tart for me; I added raspberries for the texture of their seeds and their sweetness. This is a very simple recipe to make and will yield 6 to 7 8 ounces jars of jam or 12 to 14 4 ounce jars, if you like to give away sample sizes during the holidays. Enjoy! Ingredients: 3 1/2 cups pomegranate juice 1 cup mashed raspberries 7 cups sugar 1 tablespoon butter 1 1/75 ounce package Sure Jell Method: Sterilize your jars and lids. Set aside. In a heavy bottomed large stock pot, add the pomegranate juice, raspberries and butter. Mix well. Add in the sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil then stir in the Sure Jell. Allow to boil hard for 1 minutes. Remove from the heat and skim off any foam. Ladle into the sterile jars, twist on the lids and pr

Peek-a-boo Squares

My grandma, Mimi, taught me this recipe. I used to make this with her and my mother as a child. It is my very favorite dessert. It is incredibly easy to make, and even easier to eat. My favorite part of making this as a child was dusting every bar generously with snowy white powdered sugar. My favorite version of this dessert uses canned blueberry pie filling; I vastly prefer Libby brand over the store brand. You can make blueberry pie filling from scratch with sugar, cornstarch, bleberries, etc. but using the canned stuff is easy in a pinch and is much for nostalgic for me. Plus, I don’t notice a vast improvement over my homemade blueberry pie filling and the Libby brand; it just takes me longer to put this dessert together. I have been known to whip up a pan of these Friday night and have them disappear by Saturday afternoon. Be warned, these things are addictive! Ingredients: 3 cups of all-purpose flour 2 cups of granulated sugar 4 eggs 2 sticks of

Samosas with Yogurt Sauce

I love exploring many kinds of cuisine in my kitchen because I can control the spice level, and in the case of this recipe, the use of cilantro. Cilantro lovers out there- sub it info the parsley here. I have the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap, which limits my ability to enjoy some dishes in restaurants, but is easily rectified in my own kitchen. I hope you enjoy! Ingredients: 3 russet potatoes 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped 2 teaspoons curry powder 5 ounces peas Six 8 inch flour tortillas 4 ounces Greek yogurt Oil, salt, pepper, vinegar 4 tablespoons butter Method: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
