Freezer Breakfasts



This was another failure...I made hash browns the good old fashion way and I thought since you can buy them in the freezer section of the grocery store you should be able to freeze them at home. But when we went to reheat out frozen ones they were gray! they tasted ok but they were very unappetizing....I am guessing they need some king of preservative to keep them from oxidizing, like lemon juice on an apple. Any suggestions?



I also made strawberry pancakes. I don't consider myself much of a baker so I almost always start with some sort of baking mix to help me out! One of these days I am going to make my own baking mix.....but this time I used a boxed pancake mix and I used strawberry apple sauce to replace the oil in the directions plus I added thawed frozen strawberries. They were a success!


These were for my hubby. Egg and bean breakfast burritos. Scramble up some eggs, add salsa and black beans (I made them in the slow cooker so they are lower in sodium). Put in a low carb tortilla and wrap in foil. Hubby says they freeze well!


I also made and froze blueberry muffins (from a boxed mix), they were a success!

re:hash browns. Yes, try lemon juice. Mix the shredded potato around with a splash of lemon juice. I would also try pre cooking them half way before freezing. Just make your patties, and brown both sides lightly in a fry pan before freezing, then you can toss in the oven to fully cook when ready to eat.
