Start the day right with a wholesome breakfast that’s easy to prep ahead. Breakfast burritos are your solution for busy mornings, offering convenience without sacrificing nutrition.
Batch cook and stock up on these customizable burritos, filled with eggs, sausage, veggies and cheese. From fridge or freezer to microwave, they’re ready in minutes, giving everyone a quick, healthy meal you can feel good about.
Of course you can put anything you want in your burritos. I like mine packed with lots of protein and veggies. If you wish to minimize expense you could certainly add cooked rice and beans, or cooked potatoes pieces. You can swap in whole wheat, low carb or high protein tortillas for a nutritional boost. The recipe below costs under $2 per burrito; they’re cheaper than fast food and a bazillion times healthier. I’m pretty sure that’s scientifically accurate. A bazillion.
Whether you’re feeding toddlers, teens or anyone in between, adjust the burrito size based on appetites. For adults, dividing the sausage and egg mixture into eight portions provides generous servings.
GRAB AND GO BREAKFAST BURITTOS
Yield: 8-10 burritos
Total Time: 1 hour 1 pound mild pork sausage, or your favorite sausage 1 (16 ounce) bag frozen bell pepper and onion blend, thawed
1 (10 ounce) box frozen spinach or kale, thawed and drained
12 eggs
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
2 cups (8 ounces) cheddar cheese, shredded 1 package flour tortillas, burrito size, 8 or 10 count
Freezer Supplies: parchment or wax paper, foil and 1 gallon zip top freezer bags
In a large pan over medium-high heat, brown the sausage until nearly cooked through. Add the chopped pepper and onion blend, and continue to cook. Add the thawed and drained spinach to sausage mixture. If you’re adding any other chopped vegetables (like mushrooms, cooked potatoes, cooked broccoli) now’s the time.
Diva Tips: Ensure the tortillas are at room temperature or slightly warm for easier folding. Avoid overfilling them. Thaw and drain as much liquid as possible from the frozen onions, peppers and spinach before cooking. After cooking the sausage and egg mixture, spread it on a baking sheet to cool, letting steam escape to avoid soggy burritos. No soggy burritos!
Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper, then add to the sausage mixture and cook. Slightly undercook the eggs, as they’ll continue to cook off the heat. Remove sausage and egg mixture from heat and spread it out on a baking sheet to cool to
room temperature. While on the baking sheet, divide the mixture into even portions. I find it easiest to “assembly line” the burrito-making process. Lay out 8 or 10 pieces of paper; lay a tortilla on each piece. Place sausage and egg mixture on each tortilla and sprinkle with cheese. Wrap each into a burrito then wrap tightly in parchment or wax paper, wrap again with foil, and store in an airtight container or freezersafe bag. Store burritos in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.
For the best quality, thaw frozen burritos overnight before reheating. When you’re ready to heat and eat, simply remove foil from burrito, leaving the paper. Absolutely reuse the foil. Place burrito on a microwave safe plate and microwave for 1 to 2 minutes. If reheating from frozen, use your microwave’s defrost function for 3-5 minutes to thaw the inside, then microwave on high for 1-2 minutes. Cooking times may vary.

Animal Hide
If a piece of furniture is described as having paw or claw feet, it usually means they were carved or molded. For some pieces, like this table, furniture “legs” and “feet” can be taken literally. The table, made of zebra hide, complete with zebra legs and hoof feet, sold for $500 at a Hindman auction.
Buying, selling and collecting pics made of animal hides or other taxidermy requires care. It’s always a good idea to check federal and state laws on selling animal parts before a sale or purchase. And once you have your piece, it takes careful cleaning and storage.
Don’t keep taxidermy in bright sunlight; do dust it at least every other week and keep watch for moths and other insects.

Q: Crown Distillers suggested I contact you to see if an unopened bottle from 1968 is worth anything.
A: Crown Royal is a blended Canadian whiskey that was first made in 1939 and first sold in the United States in 1964.

Q: I saw a commercial for “FBI: International,” and it looks like Jesse Lee Soffer is on there now. I was hoping he would return to “Chicago P.D.” Is there any chance of this now? -- D.D.
A: Yes, it’s true. Jesse Lee Soffer has joined the cast of “FBI: International” in time for the show’s fourth season. He played Detective Jay Halstead for 10 seasons on another Dick-Wolf-produced series, “Chicago P.D.,” before choosing to exit. The door has been left open for his character to return, but the chance of this seems less likely now. He did tell Variety that “Halstead’s always going to be in my blood,” but I’m sure that after a decade, he was ready for a change, even if it’s on another crime procedural show.
Soffer takes the place of departing cast member Luke Kleintank, who left “International” after three years. Also new this season is actor Jay Hayden as Agent Tyler Booth. If he looks familiar, that’s because he starred in the long-running ABC series “Station 19.”
All three “FBI” shows will premiere their new seasons on Tuesday, Oct. 15, with “FBI” at 8 p.m. ET, “FBI: Most Wanted” at 9 p.m. ET, and “FBI: International” at 10 p.m ET. You can also stream them on Paramount+ the next day.

Q: Wasn’t there a spinoff series for “When Calls the Heart,” or was it just a one-time miniseries?
Will there be any more of it?
-- D.I.
A: Yes, there was and still is a spin-off series of “When Calls the Heart,” titled “When Hope Calls.” The last episode was almost three years ago, so it’s not surprising that the show’s fans have been left wondering if it was all just a figment of their imaginations. Fortunately, “When Hope Calls” will begin filming again soon, aiming for a premiere date on January 2025 on the Great American Family channel. “The cast is getting something of an
antique bottles from old dumps, will not be interested in them. Unopened whiskey bottles from the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s tend to sell at house sales and estate auctions, not at specialized bottle auctions or shows. They may also sell at sales of whiskey or liquor bottles held by national auction houses.
We have seen vintage unopened Crown Royal bottles sell for about $150 to $200 recently. If the original box and bag are included, the price will be
higher. Empty bottles sell for much less, about $20 to $50. If you intend to sell your Crown Royal bottle with its contents, check state and federal laws for selling alcohol.

TIP: Don’t store antique furniture in the attic, near a fireplace or near a heat duct. Basements can be damp or hot and are not a good place for furniture.

HOLLYWOOD -- As the qualification season for the Oscars approaches, two new films that were screened at the Toronto International Film Festival were not well-received.
“On Swift Horses” stars Jacob Elordi, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Will Poulter. Set in the 1950s, it’s about a love triangle between a woman (EdgarJones) who marries a man (Poulter), but is fascinated by his brother’s lifestyle. Meanwhile, the brother (Elordi) is having an affair with a casino worker named Henry (Diego Calva). In time, she begins to explore her own sexuality.
One critic felt that “the combined charisma of the performers sometimes makes the film feel more involving than it is.” Another offered, “All these plot developments interweave throughout, but this disjointed movie can’t decide which thread to follow or who to focus on. Elordi cements his sex-symbol status. EdgarJones has a tough time getting a handle on it. Poulter is a poor, lost soul.”
As for “Joker: Folie à Deux:” one critic wrote: “Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga star in a cracked jukebox musical that doesn’t let Joker be Joker enough. Gaga never gets the chance to do what she did in “A Star Is Born” [and] seize the audience with her rapture!” ***
Ryan Reynolds amassed $1.317 billion grosses for “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which landed at No. 21 on the all-time top-grossing film list, behind “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” at $1.334 billion and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2” at $1.342 billion.
Looking ahead, Reynolds has two new projects in his future. He’ll lead the road action-comedy film “Animal Friends,” co-starring Jason Momoa, Vince Vaughn, Aubrey Plaza and Dan Levy (due on Aug. 15, 2025). Reynolds will also star in the action-adventure film “Mayday,” opposite Kenneth Branagh and Maria Bakalova, for Apple TV+.
***
Not quite as lucky is Kevin Costner, who ambitiously dreamed of a four-part western franchise called “Horizon: An American Saga,” but was disappointed by the $36.1 million that “Chapter 1” grossed against its $50 million price tag. “Chapter 2” was due in theaters in mid-August, but Warner Bros. pulled it, fearing it wouldn’t do well.
Costner was then able to show “Chapter 1” and “Chapter 2” at the Venice Film Festival to raise awareness. The result is that “Chapter 2” will soon be available on Max, the streaming platform owned by Warner Bros. “Chapter 3” began filming in May and should wrap next year. ***
“Dune: Part Two” grossed $711.8 million, and its producer/writer/ director, Denis Villeneuve, has agreed to make another “Dune” film but emphasized: “... for me, it was really a diptych. It was really a pair of movies that will be the adaption of the first book. ... If I do a third one, which is in the writing process, it’s not like a trilogy. ... if I go back there, it’s to do something that feels different and has its own identity.”
Villeneuve has been working on the “Dune” movies since 2018, so he must have Arrakis-phobia by now!
