This is probably the speediest meal plan I’ve ever thrown together.  All due to the arrival of a great new cookbook last week!  Meals 3, 5, and 6 all come from Emeril Lagasse’s new cookbook: Sizzling Skillets and Other One-Pot Wonders.  While I am not a fan of his shows filled with all of his catch phrases, I have never cooked an Emeril recipe which I haven’t enjoyed.  My dishwasher is also a fan of one-pot meals.  I’m excited to be planning meals from cookbooks again now that the market season is wrapping up and I’m thrilled to have such an inspiring cookbook to get started with! 

The other meals for the week are planned around Art’s market haul (meals 4, 7, and the lunch recipe) and I’m also hoping to put a dent into our freezer stores with meals 3 and 7. 

It should be a great week in food here and a busy week of playing catch up with blogging.  I’ve got a Recipe Roundup post to make for the month, quite a few new (recipes, and at least five Restaurant Review posts to make, including a write up of the amazing meal Lance and I had at Morimoto while in Philadelphia!  Busy, busy.  Welcome October!
