Cooking From Your Pantry | Menu Plan Ideas, Freezer Meals and Simple Recipes Week 40 of 52

Even though I don’t make a 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 collection I thought you might like:
3 Breakfast Ideas

Sugar Crusted Popovers – These are basically the same as homemade donuts.  You’re family will think you are the best ever if they wake up to these on a Sunday morning.  {Pin it for Later}

Blueberry Kale Smoothie – Kale is on again and The Girl isn’t here to use it up, I guess I’ll have to make my own smoothie.  {Pin it for Later}

Baked French Toast – This is the PERFECT way to use up stale bread or leftover french bread.  {Pin it for Later}

4 Lunch Ideas and Dinner Ideas

Baked Potato Casserole – This is always a hit at our house.  I am not going to tell them how simple it is to make.  {Pin it for Later}

Roasted Broccoli Parmesan – I could personally eat an entire plate full of this stuff as a meal, but you can serve it alongside grilled chicken.  {Pin it for Later}

Slow Cooker White Bean Chicken Chili – This chili means I can take an extra long walk with Lucy and still have dinner waiting for me when I come home.  {Pin it for Later}

Smashed Potatoes with Bacon and Chives – These are perfect for football tailgating.  {Pin it for Later}

3 Sweet Treats 

Blueberry Banana Oat Bread – Something about fall makes me want to whip up loaf after loaf of quick bread.  Maybe it’s the smell of it baking in the oven?  Maybe it’s my body saying feed me for the upcoming winter?  {Pin it for Later}

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars – For the next 3 months, I go pumpkin crazy.  Luckily, so does my family, so these bars never last too long.  {Pin it for Later}

Old Fashioned Egg Custard – This is the perfect dessert for all of those end of season banquets coming up.  {Pin it for Later}

Featured Freezer Meal Recipe

Chicken and Spinach Stuffed Manicotti – These are easy to make, but taste like you spent all day in the kitchen.  {Pin it for Later}

Food Preservation Recipe 

How to Dehydrate Tomatoes – If you still have a couple of ripe tomatoes clinging to the vine, these dehydrated tomatoes are perfect to throw on pizzas and into pastas.  {Pin it for Later}
