Cooking From Your Pantry | Menu Plan Ideas, Freezer Meals and Simple Recipes Week 38 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

Traditional Raisin Scones – There are always two camps when it comes to raisins. You are either for or against them. I for one, am totally for them. If you are too, then you are going to love these simple scones. {Pin it for Later}
