Cooking From Your Pantry | Menu Plan Ideas, Freezer Meals and Simple Recipes Week 32 of 52

The forecast is calling for a mixed bag weather here in the Pacific Northwest. Heat, rain and clouds, we’ve got them all. Why can’t we have an entire week of cool temps and rain so I can just make soup and biscuits all week? Because it’s SUMMER, that’s why and those veggies we are all trying to grow still need to to ripen.

So here’s a few seasonal recipes for you to enjoy while the weather’s still nice.
