Remember the banana bread craze of 2020? If you never figured out how to perfect your banana bread recipe, this is the episode for you. My guest this week is cookbook author and food blogger Irvin Lin, who recently wrote a series on Quick Breads for my website, TheCookful. In this episode Irvin provides some helpful tips on ensuring your Quick Breads turn out tender, and recommends a great (and painfully obvious) tool for checking your Quick Breads for doneness.

The meal plan that I walk you through in this episode is based on themes for each day of the week. On Meatless Monday you'll cook up some delicious Summer Minestrone Soup and on Fancy Friday you'll enjoy Creamy Stuffed Salmon, which looks fancy but couldn't be easier to make! Head over to COOKtheSTORY.com/MealPlans to get the meal plan with links to recipes, and the printable grocery list that goes with it. This one is Meal Plan #76.
