One Hundred Dollars a Month

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:

Breakfast Ideas 

Granola with Walnuts, Pumpkin Seeds and Mango – I like that I can make this at the beginning of the week, and the kids pretty much be independent from there.  {Pin for Later}
Pineapple-Orange-Banana Smoothie – Now that the weather is getting nicer, these kind of feel like the promise of summer in a cup.  {Pin for Later}
Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes – “Whole wheat” right in the title basically makes you feel like you’re a shoe in for mom of the year.  {Pin for Later}
Easy Mini Quiche with Bacon – These are awesome warm or cold, and if you have the habit of running late in the morning, they are a quick pop in your mouth and go sort of breakfast.  {Pin for Later}

Slow Cooker  and Freezer Meal Ideas

Easy Freezer Meals – Sloppy Joes – Make ’em when you’re motivated, eat ’em when you’re not.
Spinach Lasagna Rolls  – I love to have these all ready and made, so when we go to end-of-season sports potlucks, all I have to do is pull it out to thaw and bake it.   {Pin for Later}
Slow Cooker Macaroni and Cheese – It’s almost getting too warm outside to enjoy this hearty comfort food, so make it one last time before fall…note, I said “almost.”   {Pin for Later}
Crock Pot Baked Potatoes – I love these on days when we will all be eating at different times.  The kids and the HH can just grab a tater and load it up when their schedule allows.   {Pin for Later}

Soups , Salads and Main Dish Ideas

Chicken Tortilla Casserole – I think I still have Cinco de Mayo fever, because this casserole has been on my mind all week.  {Pin for Later}
Roasted Five-Spice Carrots – These are AWESOME along side the Sloppy Joes.  {Pin for Later}
Strawberry and Spinach Salad – You could serve this with the Mac & Cheese for a lighter, health-packed punch.  {Pin for Later}
Slow Cooker Quinoa Chicken Chili – This makes an awesome lunch, and if there are leftovers, I totally recommend putting a ladle full of chili over the top of your baked potatoes.   Yummy.  {Pin for Later}

Cookies,  Snacks and Desserts

S’mores Cookies – Be aware, having these in the house can be dangerous.  {Pin for Later}
Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp – If something has strawberries and rhubarb, it’s considered a health food.  {Pin for Later}
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream – Put it on the crisp, the cookies, or heck, the baked potatoes.  Ice cream makes everything better.  {Pin for Later}
Homemade Magic Shell – In case you have any ice cream left, after you’ve topped everything you eat this week 🙂 {Pin for Later}

Canning Recipe of the Week

Low Sugar Strawberry Jam – Since strawberries are pretty cheap right now, it’s a good time to stock up and make some jam. {Pin for Later}

What are YOU planning on making this week?
