Another week, another round of menu ideas. Here are my top picks for this week:3 Breakfast Ideas

Pumpkin Pie Spice Muffins – It’s pumpkin season, and I for one am not missing out on a single opportunity to gorge myself with everything pumpkin.  {Pin it for Later}

4 Lunch Ideas and Dinner Ideas

Easy Spicy Italian Wrap – Wraps travel really well wrapped in plastic wrap, so I make them for the HH’s lunch pretty often.  {Pin it for Later}

Stuffed Acorn Squash – I made these for Thanksgiving one year, and now I can never hold out all of the way until November.  {Pin it for Later}

Spaghetti Squash w/Almonds – Since winter squash is available for great prices right now, I say live it up and try them all.  {Pin it for Later}

3 Sweet Treats 

Roasted Banana Ice Cream – If you have some brown bananas lying around and are sick of banana bread, this is a great alternative to using them up.  {Pin it for Later}

Watermelon Candy – Okay, so this is really just dehydrated watermelon, but honest to goodness, it tastes like candy.  {Pin it for Later}

Upside Down Pear-Gingerbread Cake – Pear and ginger sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.  Yep, it’s that kind of match made in heaven.  {Pin it for Later}

Featured Freezer Meal Recipe

Taco Casserole – I don’t think I have ever met a kid who doesn’t love taco night.  This casserole capitalizes on that fact–only you get to dump it all into a pan and heat it up later.  Everybody wins.  {Pin it for Later}

Featured Canning Recipe 

Apple Butter – If you have never had a homemade apple butter and peanut butter sandwich, let me just say, you are in for a mind blowing experience.  {Pin it for Later}
