Also lacking was a specific recipe or time frame so how do we KNOW it's easy and doable for a weeknight? If something is already prepared by a chef on a video, yes, that's easy. But, I'm currently out of video chefs at the moment. Also as equally off putting and troublesome is the emphasis on animal protein. Not one meal was vegetarian (unless you count the "day after" meal of pasta and pesto, which, I do not). For a store that prides themselves on being eco-responsible, it's both disgusting and disappointing to include such an energy draining, resource wasting item like meat in all the meals. If anyone has access to the older issues of Natural Health magazine (pre-2003), there are some wonderful, spot on recipe articles for quick, healthy, easy, TASTY meals (done in under 30 minutes).
