Cooking From Your Pantry | Menu Plan Ideas, Freezer Meals and Simple Recipes Week 46 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

• Spiced Pear Muffins with Crumb Topping – These are a fantastic variation on your standard muffin.  I mean, when is the last time you used pears for muffins?  Believe me, though, once you’ve tried them, you may never use anything else again.  {Pin it for Later}
• Easy Spinach Fritatta – I love frittatas because they taste just as good cold, which means I get breakfast all week long from one recipe.  {Pin it for Later}
• Blueberry Buckle – Frozen blueberries work beautifully for this recipe.  {Pin it for Later}

• Chicken Quinoa Taco Salad – This protein packed dinner is a little bit everything you love, nothing you don’t.  {Pin it for Later}
• Easy Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup – Has cold/flu season hit your house yet?  This soup will fix you right up.  {Pin it for Later}
• Roasted Five-Spice Carrots – I don’t know about you, but I’m still diggin’ up carrots.  Guess it’s time to make a batch of these suckers.  {Pin it for Later}
• Chicken Casserole with Mashed Potato Topping – There is something so comforting about a one-dish meal, plus mashed potato topping is like the cool whip of the savory world–it just takes everything to a new place.  {Pin it for Later}

Featured Canning Recipe
