Maple Rhubarb Pie

Went to a farm in Richmond, BC for apple picking this weekend. Wasn't to impressed with it, but we were able to get 10 lbs of baking apples and some massive rhubarb! 

My man loves strawberry rhubarb pie, but I was going to try my hand at just rhubarb. Searching the internet I found this recipe on Stephenson Maple Farms website of a rhubarb pie using maple syrup! Also it has sour cream in it so it's kinda of a cream filling! Super deliciousness! My man really likes it as well. 


The recipe is pretty straight forward, except for baking I just did it for 350 degrees for an hour or so until the rhubarb was tender.

 Massive Rhubarb!!


 Wash and cut into 1 inch chunks.


 Place into pie crust. Mix syrup, flour, sour cream, and sugar.



 Pour over the top.


 Spread around.


 Mix brown sugar, flour and melted butter with a fork until crumbly.


 Sprinkle over top of the pie.

 Bake for an hour at 350 until rhubarb is tender.


Enjoy! Yum, yum :)


Then I froze the rest of the rhubarb for winter pies in the future! Yay!

Breakfast Burritos!!


 These are simple to make, easy to freeze and you can use a variety of ingredients! SO breakfast for the meat-lovers or vegetarian! With a quick pop in the microwave in the morning you have breakfast to go within a couple minutes!

The ones I'm making for this post are simply eggs, chicken sausage, and cheese! You can add anything breakfast or veggie related, for example: onion, pepper, spinach, bacon, ham, etc. (just make sure to cook everything before wrapping it up!)

For mine I scrambled about 8-10 eggs, cooked half a package of sausage, and grated around 2 cups of cheese. That much probably made around 8 burritos. The amount of ingredients is really up to, what you like and how much you like :)

Now the fun part! Put around 2 T. each of eggs and sausages in the middle of the tortilla, and add a sprinkle of cheese.

Don't fill it too full or it will be difficult to wrap up.


To wrap it up, fold the 2 ends in, then take the end closet to you and roll it up into a burrito!

Now wrap it up in a piece of tin foil!

After you have wrapped up all of your ingredients in the tortillas and then tinfoil you are ready to put them in the freezer!



To heat up: unwrap burrito from the tinfoil and wrap up in a paper towel. Place in your microwave and heat for 1 minute and 20 seconds, depending on your microwave it could take longer. Let sit for 30 seconds to cool...then enjoy!!!!
