Cooking From Your Pantry | Menu Plan Ideas, Freezer Meals and Simple Recipes Week 20 of 52

This week is going to be a little nuts around here so it’s nice to have a bunch of recipes to fall back on that I know are delicious. Now comes the hard part… choosing one.

Here are my suggestions for this week: 
3 Breakfast Ideas

Strawberry Almond Granola – Granola is ridiculously easy to make.  You can throw it on top of your yogurt in the morning, or pour a little milk over it.  The best part is that it costs about 1/2 of the store-bought price and comes without all of the added garbage.  {Pin it for Later}

Rustic Apple Galette – This is one of those Sunday morning breakfasts that will easily land you in the parenting hall of fame.  {Pin it for Later}

Baked French Toast – This is the perfect way to use up stale bread.  Holy canolies it is good. {Pin it for Later}

4 Lunch Ideas and Dinner Ideas

Baked Potato Casserole – I am a huge fan of dumping everything into one pan and cooking it up.  It seems simpler {probably because it is} and tastier somehow.  {Pin it for Later}

Chicken and Kale Enchilada Casserole – This is another great way to hide Kale in your recipes.  The rest of the flavors really come out and the kale goes down nice and easy.  {Pin it for Later}

Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Pot Pie – The cast iron skillet part of this recipe makes the most delicious flaky crust you’ve ever put your lips on.  {Pin it for Later}

Broccoli and Cheddar Soup – I think every week should have at least one day of soup.  Vote Mavis for President.  {Pin it for Later}

3 Sweet Treats 

Strawberry Pie – Home grown strawberry season is already here, and if you have a strawberry patch, I highly recommend working this recipe into your repertoire.  It is awesome.  {Pin it for Later}

Blueberry Apple Cake – This is a classic Martha Stewart recipe that is in my regular yearly must-makes.  {Pin it for Later}

Banana Pudding – This is the perfect dessert for feeding a crowd.  {Pin it for Later}

Featured Freezer Meal Recipe

Curry Chicken and Brown Rice – Curry is one of my favorite flavors.  I never get sick of it.  That’s why turning it into a freezer meal was one of my rare moments of inspiration.  {Pin it for Later}

Featured Canning Recipe 

How to Can Dilly Beans – Now is the time to plant beans in the garden, so that you have plenty to make a couple of jars of these.  The best part is that with this recipe, you don’t need a pressure cooker.  {Pin it for Later}
