Next Week's Meal Plan: Done

Seems like everyone's in meal-planning mode this week!

• Head over to Motherlode today to hear about the Goldsteins, a family of four, who are in need of a little dinner boot camp. Using recipes from Playbook, Bon Appetit, and DALS, I'll be coaching her through a week of family meals all week long, starting this Sunday, September 7. (The plan includes a shopping list -- woo hoo!)

• I also put together a super-delicous, super-easy, one-size-fits-all* weekly game plan for you over at Bon Appetit -- the companion to our "Providers" column this month. In addition to telling you what to cook, it also attempts to explain why you should pick certain meals on certain nights of the week. It's a good line-up.

• And I just found this meal plan (plus shopping list) that I put together for you guys last September -- during this same last-chance-for-corn-and-tomatoes time of year. Shall we call it the Last Gasp of Summer Plan?

Enjoy!

*I admit it, this was cheap -- there ain't no such thing.
