Cooking From Your Pantry | Menu Plan Ideas, Freezer Meals and Simple Recipes Week 45 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

• Cranberry Coconut Breakfast Cookies – These are perfect for those busy mornings that you need to throw breakfast into a bag and head out of the door.  {Pin it for Later}
• English Muffin Bread – Crank your morning toast up a notch and make this bread.  It’s crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.  Yum!{Pin it for Later}
• Baked French Toast – This is a great way to use up stale bread…trust me, it won’t taste stale anymore.  {Pin it for Later}

• Pumpkin Risotto – Still have some pumpkins?  This risotto combines a sweet and savory flavor into pure awesomeness.  {Pin it for Later}
• Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas – Homemade tortillas make a simple quesadilla seem like a gourmet treat.  {Pin it for Later}
• Butter-Glazed Radishes – Did you grow radish in your fall garden?  If you are looking for ways to use them up, this recipe is superb!  {Pin it for Later}
• Olive Oil Pasta E Fagioli Soup – This recipe makes a ton of soup.  Who needs endless salad and breadsticks when you can whip this soup up instead and have endless soup instead.  {Pin it for Later}

3 Sweet Treats

• Super Moist Chocolate Zucchini Cake – Did you freeze any of that zucchini from the garden?  Time to get it out and make yourself the most moist chocolate cake you’ve ever tried.  {Pin it for Later}

Featured Freezer Meal Recipe

• Sweet Chicken Chili with Bacon – The cool weather is making me crave chilis, stews and soups.  I originally make this recipe as a standard crock pot meal, but decided to increase the ingredients and turn it into several freezer meals.  It worked perfectly.  {Pin it for Later}

Featured Preservation Recipe 

• Apple Chips – I am still seeing some pretty good bargains on apples.  Dehydrating them is another way to put them up.  {Pin it for Later}
