  • Join me in my farmhouse kitchen today as we meal prep before baby! We're making some yummy breakfasts, dinners, snacks and a dessert to store in the freezer and enjoy after baby's arrival!
    VIDEOS MENTIONED:

    RECIPES:
    Tater Tot Casserole: rustichoney.co...
    All-Purpose Seasoning: rustichoney.co...
    English Muffins: www.farmhouseo...
    Energy Bites: rustichoney.co...
    Iced Coffee Sweet Cream:rustichoney.co...
    Sausage Biscuits:
    This one is hardly a recipe. I just cook sausage patties and let completely cool. Bake frozen biscuits (I prefer Pillsbury brand for this) and let those cool. Tear open the cool biscuits, add a sausage patty and pop these into a freezer bag. You can also individually wrap and then store inside of a larger bag for a longer freezer life. To Reheat: Wrap individually in a paper towel and microwave on high for 1 min (time may depend on your microwave). I also reheat these in a skillet sometimes by disassembling the sandwich to reheat. Add an egg and cheese if you'd like and enjoy!
    Breakfast Burritos:
    (measurements are approximate - as you saw in this video I didn't measure for these)
    10-12 tortillas
    1 dozen farm fresh eggs
    1 Tbsp butter
    2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
    1 lb. sausage crumbled
    10 strips of bacon, cut into crumbles
    1. Cook the sausage and bacon until done, drain excess fat and set aside.
    2. Add butter to your pan and cook the eggs, scrambling them as you go.
    3. Add everything to a prep bowl and top with part of the cheese. Toss.
    4. Lay out all of the tortillas and top with remaining cheese. Then scoop in the egg/meat mixture and secure the burritos by folding in the sides and rolling up the ends.
    5. Flash freeze on a cookie sheet for 10-15 min after completely cooled. Then store them in a large freezer bag.
    6. To reheat, wrap the burrito individually in a paper towel and microwave approximately 2 minutes (again will depend on you microwave). Then place the burrito in a skillet on medium heat to crisp up the exterior a bit. Serve with the dipping sauce of your choice.
    Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Cookies:
    1 c. unsalted butter, softened
    3/4 c. brown sugar
    3/4 c. white sugar
    2 eggs
    1 tsp. vanilla extract
    2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
    1 tsp. baking soda
    1 tsp. sea salt
    1 c. dark chocolate chips (measure with your heart)
    3/4 c. caramel bits
    Course natural sea salt for finishing
    1. Cream together the butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla.
    2. Add the dry ingredients next (flour, soda and salt)
    3. Toss in and gently mix the chocolate chips and caramel bits
    4. Scoop with a small melon baller and roll into cookie dough bites.
    5. From here you can flash freeze these and then add to a freezer bag for later use. OR you can bake right away at 350 for 10-12 minutes. (baking time from frozen will be more like 12-14 minutes)
    6. Top with some sea salt for a sweet and salty treat! Enjoy!

    Great video, Lauren! 🌟 Stocking the freezer before baby arrives is genius. Loved the variety from breakfast to desserts. The tater tot casserole and those salted caramel dark chocolate chip cookies caught my eye! 🍪Thanks for the inspiration! Keep it coming. 👩‍🍳👍

      I’m not sure why I don’t work on stocking the freezer more often, love having a back stock of easy “fast food” - will definitely have to keep going before my hungry boys are here eating nonstop this summer 😆 So glad you enjoyed the inspiration. Thanks for watching! 🥰

    I found your channel on my SUGGESTED video list tonight. I LOVE your wooden crucifix on the wall in the video!!!! My parents had one just like that and I now have it in my home. I rarely see anyone with crucifixes these days.....It might be a vintage thing. I love vintage items.

    • @rustichoney
      @rustichoney  6 месяцев назад

      That’s so true, don’t really see that much these days! Let’s call it vintage and bring it back! 😉🙏❤️ This crucifix was my husband’s grandmother’s I believe. My grandma always had one hanging in her kitchen too. Thanks for watching and for your sweet comment!

    Tater tot casserole became a staple in my house when my two boys were the only ones left at home. They needed the heavy rich foid and carbs. However, I added a can of mild green chilis and a handful of velveeta cheese and we loved it even more.

    • @rustichoney
      @rustichoney  4 месяца назад +1

      Mmm, green chilis! Noted! ✍️ 👍 That sounds great! My mom adds Velveeta too and we love it like that! My boys will enjoy those additions! Thank you so much for sharing your memories and recipe with me! 🥰

      I have discovered several variations to the tater tot casserole theme--mexican, sloppy joe flavors and even chicken. They have all been delicious that I tried. It is a really easy casserole to make no matter what the meat and seasonings are.

    Won’t the tortillas get soggy when reheating? I would like to do this as we have more eggs than I can sell or use

    • @rustichoney
      @rustichoney  7 месяцев назад +1

      My filling is on the dryer side so they won’t get soggy. I plan to reheat in the microwave wrapped in a paper towel and then I like to put them in my egg pan to crisp up the exterior just a bit. Like a grilled stuffed burrito 😋
