Meal Plan #112: Meals For Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Or Anything In Between

The meal plan for this week has recipes that will work for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or anything in between so that you can work them in around busy preparations for the upcoming holiday season. Avocado Egg Salad and 15-Minute Vegetable Soup is perfect for lunch or a light dinner, and the Smoked Salmon Brunch Board is so easy but so impressive. Use it for a fun dinner, or a delicious brunch!

In this episode I talk with Rebecca Wheeler, founder of Chicago Food Walks, a company offering private food tours in Chicago’s most interesting neighborhoods. We talk about how Rebecca took her culinary expertise and interest in other cultures and cuisines and turned it into a business that visits the less well-known corners of her own city – no deep dish pizza on this tour! She also shares some tips on finding a great food tour wherever your travels take you.
