Art’s Lunches: Egg Pesto Pasta

This week is a pretty straightforward week.  Our best friend is coming over on Sunday and Art has grand plans to smoke the backup turkey we got for Thanksgiving.  Assuming the turkey is fully thawed by then, it should be a good experiment! We might inject it with extra tastiness, but we haven’t made any firm plans yet.  I’ll be making Sausage Balls as a lunchtime munching type of food to tide us over until the turkey is ready. 

Meal 2, fish night, was planned so I can update the photograph for the recipe.  It will also be a quick and easy meal for a day when I have my voice lesson – I can start it before I leave and have dinner ready when I get home. 

Meals 3, 4, and 6 use (recipes from the 2011 Cooking Light Annual.  Meal 7 is from my delicious bookmarks.  I will also be making Egg Pesto Pasta at Art’s request and that will supplement leftovers for lunches. 

I’ve caught up quite a bit with posting in the past few days.  I’ve still got a few (recipes and those restaurant reviews, but the end is in sight.  Of course, the end is never truly in sight because I keep cooking new things!
