Second and third ingredients are meals

Bought this expecting it to have no chicken or meal of any kind... Not the case the first ingredient is lamb then chicken meal.  Reading up on how meals are made I choose not to feed them. Dogs didn't care for it either.

I love one-dish meals, and there are several to choose from.  Also found some other recipes I think I'll enjoy.

This has unusual recipes to add variety to meals. I loved the carrot and orzo dish. I even use the dressing for eggplant and other applications. Be warned, there are many ingredients used in these recipes but it's all good. Not easy but very good.

Complete meal menu.  Cocktails are a nice addition.

This book gives some good meals that are easy to find and not expensive to buy. You can make the meals in a small time period and they are easy to prepare. Good recipes

The first book concerns freezer meals, which is a way to save time during the week while ensuring you can still have a hot meal at the end of the day or to start your day. This isn't a bad idea and we do it sometimes too, but we won't be using most of these as they aren't as spiced or flavorful or veggie rich as we like. There's three recipes in here that we will use, but with a lot of modifications. The author also gives some helpful tips on preparation and storage of these meals.

The second book has a section on green juicing and the other on quinoa. There's multiple juicing recipes I liked and several have already made it into rotation so far including the first juice using coconut water I've ever liked. There's an excellent Swiss chard and collard green one and the flavors in all the ones I've tried so far have been well balanced so you're not experiencing too much sweetness from fruit or too much bitterness from certain greens.

However the section on quinoa really bothered me. When anybody is that adamant that something will transform your life and help solve all problems, it comes across as culty or snake-oil salesmany. I'm not disputing that quinoa is a great food for a variety of reasons or that a healthy diet helps improve your life, it was just presented too over-the-top and in too devoted a manner. Mostly the breakfast section of recipes appealed to me-some tasty combinations I hadn't been previously doing. The main dishes relied heavily on meat but there was a quinoa casserole with pineapple I like and a quinoa frittata my SO likes. My SO is interested in trying some of the other main dish meat ones in the future. There's also an herb bread recipe that is quite good.

The next book has 11 smoothie recipes. I liked the Pumpkin Pineapple and  Kale Romaine ones so far.  Though there is one smoothie that added sugar which I didn't understand as it was pretty fruity and didn't need it. There's a link to a "healthy nutrition system" that redirects to an error message. The next book is about smoothies for weight loss. Each recipe included personal rules for weight loss that were the same for each recipe. That unnecessary repetition got under my skin a bit.

The next book is on clean eating and there's a Pita Sauce my SO adores. There's another few books on smoothies and juicing which I've seen as parts of other sets before. As such I consider them "bonus books" and didn't go through each recipe individually again.

For me the second book is the most useful. It has the most recipes that I'll use that I haven't (so far) seen bundled elsewhere. As a free Kindle book, this is worthwhile to download. If you aren't familiar with cooking ahead for the week or the month, the tips provided in the first book are useful. You can always modify the recipes or use your own once you know the techniques. I've been looking at a number of juicing books lately, and I definitely like the juices provided in the second book. I also walked away with recipes from the quinoa section and a few from the next couple of books. I did have to go through some clunkers (for me - tastes are subjective) and was sometimes turned off by the writing.. I did receive this at a free or discounted rate in exchange for my honest review.

The two sizes make for a very nice presentation for two people meals (I was recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes and have been reducing meal portion size). I just made a fruit crisp for two in the smaller one and was quite pleased with how it turned out.

Quite tasty for something that is so easy and quick to prepare. If you are very hungry, 2 will do the trick.

Good AND cheap meets both standards.  The recipes are straightforward and appear easy to make.  Ingredients are inexpensive, but nutritious, filling, and healthful.  There is a nice recruitment of meals from other cuisines.  I anticipate a lot of use.

I'm not a great cook,it seemed when I cooked I had large amounts of leftovers that either got forgotten in the freezer or in the refrigerator to spoil and throw out. Fantastic a book so I could cook for my husband and I but I soon discovered it had a lot of information I didn't want or need. I simply wanted to put a tasty meal on for two. Perhaps I missed something in the books description. I would have preferred something more basic.

Different way to make a meal, having fun trying out the possibilities.

This was my second Amazon Meal Kit and I am so impressed. I live alone so the subscriptions with three two-person meals a week is too much for me in quantity. I wind up dividing these into thirds for dinner and two lunches!

Nice variety of dishes. However not so quick . They all took a minimum of half hour  of preparation . Ingredients are easy to find. Phase 1 desserts are not  too good.  But many of the phase 1 dinner selections are quite good. We have not yet tried phase 2 or 3 recipes yet.

Timing is measured, servings are perfect too. The perfect thing is that if you have to cook for more than two people, you can just double or triple the ingredients!

My husband is the cook in the family and he really liked the first book so we ordered this second one.
