Cooking From Your Pantry | Menu Plan Ideas, Freezer Meals and Simple Recipes Week 27 of 52

I don’t know about you, but I have fresh berries on my mind this week. Berry muffins, berry smoothies and berry pie are all potential menu items this week for me. If you are struggling with what to make your tribe this week, here are a few of my favorite recipes.

3 Breakfast Ideas

Strawberry Banana Muffins – These are a great way to use up brown bananas. {Pin it for Later}

DIY Freezer Fruit and Yogurt Smoothie Bags – I love these for teens, because having them in the fridge means they may actually take the effort to “make breakfast.” {Pin it for Later}

Chocolate Crepes with Bananas – Every time I whip up a batch of crepes, the kids go nuts. You’d think I never feed them anything remotely fancy by their response. {Pin it for Later}

4 Lunch Ideas and Dinner Ideas

Spaghetti Squash with Almonds – This makes an awesome meatless Monday sort of meal. Or, you can serve it as a side. Whatever floats your boat. {Pin it for Later}

Savory Garlic and Herb Corn – Corn is finally starting to hit the stores. Enjoy it while it lasts. {Pin it for Later}

Chickpeas with Broccoli Raab and Bacon – This is one of my favorite salads. To be fair, though, pretty much anything with bacon is a quick favorite. {Pin it for Later}

Orzo Salad with Fresh Peas, Carrots and Pine Nuts – I love to whip this up for a couple of days worth of lunches. It makes a great side with grilled chicken too. {Pin it for Later}

3 Sweet Treats

Heart-Shaped Homemade Apple Pie – Nothing says I love summer like a heart-shaped apple pie. It’s a representation of everything good in the world. {Pin it for Later}

Traditional Pound Cake – This cake tastes amazing topped with pretty much any seasonal berry you can get your hands on and whip cream. {Pin it for Later}

Homemade Magic Shell – How do you turn ordinary vanilla ice cream into a party? You put a coat of hardened chocolate on it, that’s how. {Pin it for Later}
