Seven Days of Dinner, Oct. 16-22

For the past several weeks, most of the dishes I've cooked have been from a cookbook. I don't have much patience with following recipes, and I'm usually a throw-everything-together-and-see-how-it-turns-out kind of cook, so I've probably used recipes more in these past three weeks than I have all year. But this week, I'm going back to my usual modus operandi and using some of my tried-and-true "recipes". I've loved everything I've tried, but my cookbooks need a rest.

Here's what's on the menu this week:
* Split pea soup
* Spaghetti Bolognese
* Spinach nuggets with cauliflower cheese
* Chicken noodle soup
* Chickpea and eggplant stew
* Better-for-you egg salad
* Veggie meatloaf and roasted potatoes


Bon appetit!
