No time to travel? No worries! Take a trip around the globe with this week's meal plan. Fill your kitchen with the alluring aroma of Mint and Ricotta Stuffed Shells or Cardamom Honey Chicken baking in the oven. Tempt your taste buds with Skirt Steak and Avocado Chimichurri or Shrimp Etouffee!

This month, please welcome back Aaron Hutcherson and his meal plans! Aaron is a regular contributor here on Simply Recipes and the blogger behind The Hungry Hutch.

Happy Halloween week! I may be a thirty-something adult, but I still love celebrating the holiday as much as anyone. (My version of celebrating usually involves watching Hocus Pocus at home with friends.)

If you also decide to celebrate and end up carving pumpkins, be sure to save the seeds for roasting! They make a great snack on their own or are great for sprinkling on salads.

This week we’re looking all over the globe for dinner inspiration. Live like an Italian while eating pasta e fagioli or stuffed shells while sipping a glass of Chianti. Travel down to Argentina for a steak dinner with chimichurri. Savor the Middle Eastern flavors of cardamom chicken and tabbouleh. And for something a little closer to home, enjoy classic Cajun and Creole cooking with shrimp etouffee.
