"These are BIG, messy, have to eat with a fork burritos. They're a favorite in my household. I usually use canned refried beans because, I get lazy. However, you could make your own beans to make them truly authentic. Enjoy!"

I'm a single mom of two little boys! I live with my dad and help him out with things like cleaning, cooking and seeing(he has diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration). I love cooking yummy meals and goodies for my family! I'm able to go to school and not worry about work right now. So, I am able to spend lots of time with my boys and have plenty of time to get in the kitchen and cook/bake. I also like to garden and do crafts 'n' such. I love to see people enjoying things that I have made with my own two hands and that I have put my care and love into.
