New cookbooks

I ordered new cookbooks and am excited as all get out. I bought three:
  • Vegan Lunchbox - she amazing at how she makes vegan lunches look fun and appealing and he loves it.
  • Baking with Agave Nectar - watch me now I'm going to start being a punk-chef
  • Gluten-free Quick & Easy - my favorite author Carol Fenster.
I've just leafed through them so far because its been busy since then, can you say soccer season on two leagues? Plus we're painting the house - so much prep to do...but GF Q&E has a great section that lists weeks of menus and planned-overs (I like that term better than leftovers). I struggle with knowing what to do and how to have planned-overs. So every night is what's new to fix for dinner or have exactly what we had before. Are other cookbooks out there that actually give you menus with planned overs? I know lots of people TALK about it, and I saw a show on HGTV or Food Network that did give some ideas but I never wrote it down and couldn't find it online anywhere following it. I remember one recipe that was great but not now with little ones food issues. Hmm....
