Breakfast Burritos and Calzones

I finally got around to making Breakfast Burritos and Calzones. These were so easy to make that I wish that I had made them a long time ago. It makes eating breakfast so easy. I tend to skip breakfast because I just don't feel like getting out the cookware and making a mess. I don't really like cereal all that well and milk makes me sick to my stomach.

I usually end up grabbing a snack cake and regretting it as soon as I finish eating it. Sweet things make me sick in the mornings. Pure laziness makes me continue to do this. Now, this is no longer a problem. I can get a burrito out of the freezer and warm it up in the microwave for about a minute and a half. I love it.

I also made some calzones for lunches through the week. These are perfect for the girls to grab and heat up for an easy lunch. I have to admit, I heated one up for snack last night and they were pretty good. I wouldn't say they are great, but you can change up the ingredients and make them the way you want.

Amazing Meatloaf

Update: If you don't have enough shredded Parmesan cheese and decide to throw in come grated Parmesan ( because hey, it's Parmesan), don't do it. I made this mistake today. It gave the meatloaf a funny flavor, almost like it was a little spoiled.

I have been stalking The Pioneer Woman's site again. I just can't stay away, it's a wonderful site with all kinds of deliciousness. Today, I made her favorite meatloaf. My family loved it so much and I think I heard someone sighs. I got "Yum", "Wow" and "You need to make this again". Even my oldest daughter loved it and she doesn't like meat all that well. My youngest was another story, but she has become a vegetarian ( a story for another time).

The meatloaf called for very simple and easy ingredients. I had all of the ingredients except for the Parmesan Cheese and the fresh parsley. I bought the cheese, but forgot the parsley so I used dried parsley flakes. I think I threw in a couple teaspoons of the flakes. Dried parsley is more concentrated than the fresh parsley.
