In case you missed it, cereal milk is becoming a fairly popular thing. You know what I’m talking about, the milk that’s leftover in the bowl after enjoying cereal. It’s got little bits of cereal in it and is slightly sweetened and flavored by the cereal of choice. Yum…
When I decided on cinnamon rolls for breakfast, I looked through the pantry and saw some fruity cereal sitting there, waiting to be used. I knew exactly what to do. Milk and cereal cinnamon rolls!…
No Bake Circus Animal Cookie Cheesecake
It’s getting hot here. Hot as in… we’re already breaking heat records here in Texas. Gross. That being said, it’s time to start using the stove and oven less, and instead focus on meals and recipes that don’t require any heat! While I’m still busy using up pantry staples I thought it would be a great time to use up some old circus animal cookies that I’ve had stocked away from Halloween truck-or-treating.
So, what do you do with leftover cookies and no heat? You turn them into a no bake cheesecake! This is a scratch no bake cheesecake. Not made with that boxed mix from the store. Nope! Turns out you don’t need a pre-packaged box to make a proper no bake cheesecake…
Read MoreCinnamon Toast Crunch Banana Bread
This banana bread is jazzed up with cinnamon and sugar and topped off with a crispy crunchy crumb that is out of this world delicious - if I do say so myself. The idea for this banana bread is actually based on the cinnamon toast cereal that we all know and love. I’ve had a box stocked away in my pantry for some time now since my daughter suddenly decided after a week of eating it that she now doesn’t like it.
So, what do you do to use up cereal? You use it in a crumb topping for banana bread, of course! And let me just say, this banana bread is the perfect combination of the two. A tasty banana bread and cinnamon cereal all in one bite together. The best of both worlds!…
Read MoreSun-Dried Tomato Chicken Pesto Wrap
If you’re looking for some lunch time inspiration, here you go! This Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Pesto Wrap is super quick and easy to make with just a handful in ingredients and a ton of flavor. When I got my hands on the sun-dried tomato tortilla wraps, I thought it would be fun to use them to make a ‘caprese style’ twist on a wrap with them.
So I loaded them up with two different kinds of pesto, chicken, bacon, mozzarella, and baby spinach. That’s pretty much all there is to it! Roll it all up together and you’ve got one of the easiest and most tasty wraps you’ll ever come across.
I served my wraps with baked chips and some fresh veggies, but some fruit, soup, or even a salad would also be nice sides here.
If you’re making this head of time as a meal prep, there isn’t much you need to do any differently. Store in an air-tight container for up to 3-5 days until ready to enjoy.

Read MoreCookies & Cream Cinnamon Rolls
These homemade cinnamon rolls are as a delicious take on combining two things I love. Cinnamon rolls and chocolate sandwich cookies! Now, I’ll be the first to admit that the cinnamon roll turning brown-brown wasn’t my initial plan. I thought with adding some of the crushed up cookie bits that the dough would end up flecked with cookies. Instead it just gave it a light brown tinge and a light chocolate taste.
In the end, I was happy with it for the flavor if nothing else…
