Home made by me: Burgers, burritos and eggrolls

Christmas is right around the corner and so I’ll be stepping away and disconnecting from most things related to technology. However, I do have advanced posts lined up, so even though I’ll be away, It’ll still look like I’m here since I have written posts and have scheduled them to be published at a later date.

The next few days I’ll be making my own home made foods to freeze and bring out at a later date, so I (or my daughter) can quickly heat and prepare meals when I’m too busy.

The above burgers were made a few years ago. It was a lentil burger that I’d made. I had some leftover lentil beans and decided to make them into a burger. That was a tasty experiment. In the late 1990s, I had an amazing veggie burger that had sunflowers. It was made by a local restaurant and if I remember, the burgers were freshly made, so there was none of the prepacked fake crap. Perhaps, I’ll make some type of burger with sunflower seeds? We’ll see…

She’s also a fan of Latin/Caribbean and Asian foods so I’ll be making my own burritos, tacos and eggrolls

and perhaps something Trinidadian or Ethiopian in nature. We love those foods also.

Although they are all homemade, I would consider these “processed foods” since I’m preparing them in advance, but they are miles ahead of the processed stuff you will find in the stores. Why? The above foods are still home made, they are just being made by me in advance. Since they are all made by me using whole foods ingredients only, they’re much different than what you would buy from the store. The ingredients are made from produce that I’ve either purchased, or have been picked from our garden, and the food is much fresher than the store bought variety.

I must say, that I’m actually looking forward to preparing my homemade quick meals in bulk. Once prepared most will be packaged and put into the freezer, to be pulled out when I’m too busy to prepare a meal. This way, even though we’ll have “quick meals,” they’ll still be a healthy option since they’re homemade and prepared (with minimal processing) by me.

When it comes to eating properly, I’m fortunate where I do have choices and because that I do have options I choose to make healthy choices. Of course, that means at times I have to make an effort to keep making smart choices, but since I’m invested in my health, I’m willing to jump through extra hoops to maintain those goals.
