I called Brian today to give him dinner options. “Do you want burritos or…?” “Burritos!!” He likes the new recipe:

1/2 c uncooked rice

1/2 lb ground beef
1/4-1/2 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 c frozen corn
1 can diced tomatoes (can be with chiles), undrained
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp chile powder
1/2-1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne
salt and pepper to taste

In advance cook rice.
Brown ground beef with onion and garlic. Drain most of the fat off. Blend in flour. Add tomatoes, corn and spices. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add cooked rice. Stuff into flour tortillas with cheese, sour cream, guac, lettuce, salsa, whatever!

I’ve got some wonderful people bringing meals as well as two mamas taking care of me for a few weeks. Just waiting for the baby! I made two batches of cookies with the Child this morning, which led to a huge lunch and an early nap for me while she played. Ahhh, for the day when making cookies does not tire me out.
