I did something for my kids today that I absolutely dreaded when my mom did for me as a child. I made them burritos for lunch.
Specifically, bean and cheese burritos. I had to make my lovies their lunch for school today, and the most convenient thing for me to do was take advantage of all the beans I cooked during the week. As I wrapped the burritos in foil and placed them in their sandwich container, I laughed. I had a flashback of myself as a young girl in elementary school, hoping and praying my mom wouldn’t embarrass me and put a foil-wrapped burrito in my lunchbox.
I could have written this post~no, I am this post~I giggled as I read every word and yet felt your pain as a kid at school eating burritos! Sometimes I make my two kiddos burritos for school and they love them~foil and all~after all how else will the burritos stay warm~but end up soggy all in one fall swoop?! Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
I love this post. But it’s funny to me because we lived with my ‘Buelita when I was in grade school. She was so funny because she was this AMAZING cook (she had her own restaurant in Dallas and did really well), but she would pick me up from school with a Dr. Pepper and a peanut butter sandwich waiting for me in the car. ¡¡Que señora!! Drove my mami crazy. But I so enjoyed her cooking at home. I wish she had packed me some of her great lunches!
My kids are homeschooled, but they eat burritos on a pretty regular basis. 🙂
