Cooking From Your Pantry | Menu Plan Ideas, Freezer Meals and Simple Recipes Week 15 of 52

Things are looking up this week. According to Chino the Handyman there is only one more day of work left on the remodel. You know what that means right? I get my house back. Wahoooo! I almost feel like I should bake a cake to celebrate or something.

I’m not sure what yummy goodness I’ll be making this week for my family, but here are a few ideas for both you and me.

3 Breakfast Ideas

Cranberry Coconut Breakfast Cookies – Don’t let the word cookie fool you, these are actually pretty packed with healthy goodness.  {Pin it for Later}
