Cooking From Your Pantry | Menu Plan Ideas, Freezer Meals and Simple Recipes Week 23 of 52

Oh my goodness this weeks recipes look so delicious!! Will somebody please make the Chewy Reese’s Stuffed Monster Cookies and eat one for me please?

3 Breakfast Ideas

Strawberry Muffins w/Oatmeal Crumb Topping – I love having a batch of muffins sitting on the counter.  That way the kids {and the HH and I} can grab breakfast whenever we are hungry.  No muss, no fuss.  {Pin it for Later}

Peanut Butter Banana Granola – Granola is the perfect summer breakfast and/or snack.  You can serve it with milk or make a yogurt parfait.  {Pin it for Later}

Healthy Blueberry Whole Wheat Pancakes – I love pancakes because with minimal ingredients {and minimal dollars} you can feed you whole family. {Pin it for Later}

4 Lunch Ideas and Dinner Ideas

BBQ Chicken and Bacon Wrap – If you need easy lunch ideas that are easy to take to the park, pool, etc. now that the kids are home, these wraps fit the bill.  {Pin it for Later}

Bacon Wrapped Corn on the Cob – Nothing says summer like corn on the cob.  Nothing says best BBQ ever like these bacon wrapped corn on the cobs.  {Pin it for Later}

Ritz Cracker Chicken – These make for great lunches or an easy weeknight meal.  {Pin it for Later}

Roasted Chicken Salad with Cranberries – Something about warmer weather makes “lighter fare” sound more appealing.  This salad is packed with flavor and still light and summery.  {Pin it for Later}

3 Sweet Treats 

Roasted Banana Ice Cream – Now that the weather is warmer, this ice cream is the perfect way to use up those browning bananas.  {Pin it for Later}

Chewy Reese’s Stuffed Monster Cookies – If your house has become the summer hangout {or you want it to become that}, try whipping up some of these bad boys.  They are like the Pied Piper’s flute–kid’s will come running from miles away.  {Pin it for Later}

No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies – If you need something for the kids to snack on, but don’t want to have to heat up the house with the oven being on, try these cookies.  {Pin it for Later}

Featured Freezer Meal Recipe

Chili Con Carne with Bacon and Beer – This is the PERFECT chili for chili dogs.  Make up a big batch now, and pull it out all summer long.  {Pin it for Later}

Featured Canning Recipe 

Low Sugar Triple Berry Jam – This uses a bag of frozen fruit from Costco, which makes it incredibly affordable {and still delicious}. {Pin it for Later}
