Must Have Cookbooks for Weekly Meal Planning

These are the cookbooks that I reach for most weeks when planning out my weekly menu:

Cooking for Good Times by Paul Kahan

- Great for delicious Mediterranean Style recipes

-Everything Tastes Fresh and just like the restaurant that the chef owns

-Some recipes take longer to make, so I save them for a night where I have the most time

Dessert Person by Claire Saffitz

-All of the desserts and breads in this book are perfect

-The recipes are easy to follow and the book has a table at the front that shows the difficulty versus the amount of time it takes to make the recipe

-The focaccia recipe is definitely one to make

Nothing Fancy and Dining In by Alison Roman

-Fantastic Week Night Recipes

-All the flavors are well balanced

-I love reading Alison's sassy paragraphs at the beginning of each recipe

-My friends always rave over these recipes when I make them for dinner

The Four & Twenty Blackbird Pie Book by Emily Elsen and Melissa Elsen

-Delicious pies organized by season

-Great tips on how to achieve the perfect pie and what equipment to use

Salad Freak by Jess Damuck

-Fun variations on a salad

-All are easy to throw together

-The ingredients are super easy to find in your typical grocery store and are generally not very expensive
