A delicious, easy meal. Who wants to cook in this heat we’ve been having!? This past weekend was in the 100’s here in southern Oregon. So I’m grateful for the black bean burritos that we’ve stocked up in the freezer!

Making your own food and freezing saves money, but I also really love it when you know exactly what ingredients are going into your food. We also keep stocked in our pantry a variety of Bush’s Beans for Mexican food, such as black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans. They stretch a meal, add protein, and give options for flavor, plus they freeze well.

And whatever you have in the freezer is cash in the bank!

Inspired by  this Bush’s Beans burrito recipe, today I’m sharing our new family favorite recipe.

Which includes our garden squash! So easy to make ribbons with a potato peeler.
