Now for the moment you have all been waiting for.. the actual recipes for the 20 days of meals.  If you made all of your building blocks and bought Rachel's September magazine - congratulations!  You are already enjoying the benefits of cooking ahead.

Here is my first review.... So to my delight, my husband Dustin raved over this dish.  Which I thought was interesting since I figured he wouldn't even like it.  Thank you Rachel Ray.    It is a nice light dish, but filling- and super easy to make.  I give it a 4 out of 5 stars and will definately make it again.
