I’m definitely feeling back on track this week even though I’m still at the tail end of recovering from the previous week’s sickness. 

For the first time in forever, I grabbed a cookbook to use in meal planning.  Because I’m still not feeling 100%, I chose Food Network’s How to Boil Water. It’s actually the book I’ve started to recommend to new cooks in recent years because I find it to be a fantastic teaching tool.  The book has lots of great illustrations and explanations.  It also has some pretty tasty (recipes that feature in meals 2 and 3.

Meals 1 and 4 come from my huge collection of delicious bookmarks.  I’ve also been on a smoked salmon kick recently, so the idea of Smoked Salmon Quiche really appeals to me right now.  Meals 6 and 7 are previously posted (recipes that could use updated pictures. 

Happy eating!

(And, yes, I will be pulling pictures off my camera so I can start posting (recipes again. Soon.  I promise!)
