Cooking From Your Pantry | Menu Plan Ideas, Freezer Meals and Simple Recipes Week 13 of 52

Even though I don’t stick to a traditional weekly menu plan, I still love the idea of having a bunch of recipes right in front of me to choose from. Here are a few recipes from my recipe archives you might want to try.

Have a great week!

3 Breakfast Ideas

Ham and Broccoli Breakfast Casserole – This is a delicious way to use any leftover Easter ham you end up with.  {Pin it for Later}

Strawberry and Nutella Crepes – My kids pretty much think I am the coolest ever when I serve these.  {Pin it for Later}

Oatmeal and Carmelized Bananas – Oatmeal is a staple around here, so finding ways to spruce it up is essential.  {Pin it for Later}

4 Lunch Ideas and Dinner Ideas

White Bean and Ham Soup – This is another great way to use up your holiday ham.  It warms up great, so packing it for lunch is easy-peasy.  {Pin it for Later}

Smashed Potatoes with Bacon and Chives – These make great appetizers, if you are having peeps over, but I have been known to serve them for dinner along with a side salad.  {Pin it for Later}

BLT {Bacon, Barley, Lettuce & Tomato} Salad – We have been on a salad kick around here lately.  We can’t seem to get enough of them…or maybe I can’t get enough of how simple they are to throw together?  {Pin it for Later}

Avocado Egg Salad – This is the PERFECT way to use up those left-over hard boiled eggs from Easter.  This is literally one of my favorite lunch recipes.  {Pin it for Later}

3 Sweet Treats 

Apple Spice Cake – There is something about this not-too-sweet, but satisfies-a-sweet-tooth cake that calls to me.  {Pin it for Later}

Strawberry Pie – I love pie…for breakfast.  {Pin it for Later}

Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars – I don’t do butterscotch very often, but the HH loves it, so I like to whip up these bars whenever I’m feeling super generous.  {Pin it for Later}

Featured Freezer Meal Recipe

Breakfast Burritos – Every couple of months I like to make a big batch of these for Monkey Boy.  That way, he can microwave them on his way out the door–which is about all I can expect from a teenage boy.  {Pin it for Later}

Featured Canning Recipe 

Carrot Cake Jam – In light of Easter, I thought this jam would be the perfect recipe to highlight.  {Pin it for Later}
