With all the rain we’ve been having up here in the Seattle area all I want to do lately is hunker down and stay in my pj’s and catch up on movies all day. Throwing freezer meals in the crock-pot {or oven} every single night hasn’t been this appealing since I don’t know when. Luckily, things are supposed to clear up around Tuesday. Maybe then I’ll feel like trying some new recipes.
But until then, here are a few of my favorite made from scratch recipes:
3 Breakfast Ideas
Healthy Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes – Pancakes are one of the quickest, cheapest things to whip up from scratch. If you can get a deal on blueberries, go with fresh, if not, I think thawed frozen blueberries are delicious and gooey on pancakes. {Pin it for Later}
Strawberries and Cream Baked Oatmeal – Baked oatmeal is an awesome twist on a pantry staple. It has a less gooey texture, and you can easily bake any frozen fruit into it. The possibilities are endless. {Pin it for Later}
Baked French Toast – This is a Sunday favorite at our house. {Pin it for Later}
4 Lunch Ideas and Dinner Ideas
Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas – Homemade tortillas are like crack cocaine. You will combing the streets for them once you run out. Best of all, you don’t even need a dealer, you can just make them yourself. 🙂 {Pin it for Later}
BBQ Chicken and Bacon Wrap – this wrap is like going to an upscale deli without the upscale price. Make it out of the homemade tortilla recipe above, and I promise, your mind will be blown. {Pin it for Later}
Toasted Orzo with Spinach and Pine Nuts – This makes a great side, or if you are practicing a weekly meatless meal, I think a big plate of this will satisfy. {Pin it for Later}
Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup – This warm and delicious comfort food will fix all of the problems in the world–in fact, I believe it’s considering running for President in 2016. {Pin it for Later}
3 Sweet Treats
Blackberry Pie – I typically use frozen berries–I mean, you’re cooking them anyway. {Pin it for Later}
Meyer Lemon Cardamom Crinkle Cookies – As soon as my Costco gets Meyer lemons in, you can bet that I’ll be making this immediately. {Pin it for Later}
No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies – No baking means 1/2 the time. I can pretty much get behind any recipe that lets me eat cookies in 1/2 the time. {Pin it for Later}
Featured Freezer Meal Recipe
Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken – This is two of my favorite things in one: a freezer and crock pot meal. {Pin it for Later}
Featured Canning Recipe
Blood Orange Marmalade – The color and taste of this stuff is unbelievable. It’s totally worth putting up a few jars. {Pin it for Later}
What are YOU planning on making this week?
