The cost per meal is fairly low and it is great having fresh, home-made food in a hurry.

Great tasting & easy recipes
I had the opportunity to make 4 of the recipes so far in Don't Panic - Dinner's in the Freezer: Great-Tasting Meals You Can Make Ahead and put them in the freezer. Out of the 4 I will definately be making 3 of them again! They were easy to assemble and cooked up great!

Great Recipes!
So far everything I have tried has been great! The recipes are very clear and easy. I like that it doesn't plan out every meal for you, you get to just look through and pick what you want. Works perfect for me even though I am only cooking for two. I can adjust the meal portions as I see fit which means I can make extra and pack for lunch the next day. We have saved a lot of money not having to go out and buy lunch everyday. It is also easy to make the recipes as healthy as possible by just using low fat low sodium ingredients. I am getting Don't Panic - Dinner's in the Freezer: Great-Tasting Meals You Can Make Ahead as a gift for family members for Christmas! I recommend it to everyone!
