Cooking From Your Pantry | Menu Plan Ideas, Freezer Meals and Simple Recipes Week 18 of 52

Holy canolies! I just checked the weather forecast for this week and we are supposed to get some sunshine everyday this week but one. I guess that means BBQ season has officially begun! Yee-Haw.

Here are a few recipes for this week:
3 Breakfast Ideas

Poppy Seed Muffins – Some weeks I don’t want to have to think about breakfast. I just want everyone to grab something and get out of the door, that’s where these muffins come in.   You make them once and they feed you most  of the week.  {Pin it for Later}

Bacon Pancakes – Adding bacon to pancakes is such a simple thing, but you’d think my family won the lottery by how excited they get when they see that these are for breakfast.  {Pin it for Later}

Sausage and Apple Cheddar Biscuit Bake – This is the perfect Sunday morning breakfast.  It’s great if you need to feed a large, hungry crowd too.  {Pin it for Later}

4 Lunch Ideas and Dinner Ideas

BBQ Chicken and Bacon Wrap – These are sooooo tasty.  And if you really wanted to make it easier, you could grab a rotisserie chicken on your way home to shred and use.  {Pin it for Later}

Chickpeas with Broccoli Raab and Bacon – This salad is the reason I started to grow Broccoli Raab in my garden.  It makes eating your greens easy.  {Pin it for Later}

Green Beans with Sweet Onions and Bacon – I think I must have bacon on the brain, because every one of my recipes involving bacon seems to be drawing me in.  These green beans make a great side with simple grilled chicken.  {Pin it for Later}

Peach Ginger Glazed Grilled Chicken – The name of this chicken makes it seem way more complicated than it actually is.  The ingredients are really simple {read:  you probably have most of them on hand} and the result is super delicious.  {Pin it for Later}

3 Sweet Treats 

Pretzel Cookies with Chocolate & Peanut Butter Chips – Holy salty sweet heaven.  These are divine.  {Pin it for Later}

Peanut Butter Protein Balls – These make a great quick on-the-go snack.  They are also perfect for the kids after school or on their way to practice.{Pin it for Later}

Cranberry Pistachio Cornmeal Biscotti – If you like biscotti, then you will LOVE this recipe.  Don’t let the cornmeal throw you off–it actually works really well with all of the flavors.  {Hint:  It tastes even better dipped in hot tea.}  {Pin it for Later}

Featured Freezer Meal Recipe

Freezer Pancakes – Freezer meals don’t have to be limited to dinner.  I don’t feel like cooking pretty much around the clock.  These help me not feel so bad about it. 🙂 {Pin it for Later}

Featured Food Preservation Recipe 

Dehydrated Canned Pineapple – There are so many things I love about this recipe:  One, you can make it any time of year.  Two, they come already sliced, so no prep work.  Three, they are delicious.  {Pin it for Later}
