My GF, Locavore-ish Weekly Meal Plan and What's Cookin' Sunday?

I must confess that the hint of cooler weather we had last week has been such a tease.  My apologies to those still enjoying the oppressive humidity, but I'm ready for fall, or at least fresh air that doesn't make me feel like my head is being crushed! 

When it comes to cooking in the heat I often find myself at a loss because I just don't want to be in the kitchen when the air conditioning unit is around the corner in the living room. 

So once again my meal plan and Sunday cooking is based around local farmers market produce and simple, quick meals for cooking in the heat. 

So without further ado, here's this week's gluten free, locavore-ish meal plan!
