Just made the muffins. Thanks for the suggestion.
I make so many things from there weekly.

It is probably a quickboon suited for ppl that want to get things done faster and don’t have much time to patchke. Therefore a lot of shortcuts.
I don’t find there are a ton of ready made sauces in recipes.
Maybe some desserts use ready made items but if I want I can always make the components myself. (Like the brookie - I make my own brownie and cookie but the idea is great and we make every yom tov how they dress it up and the shortcuts is great if someone doesn’t have time).

I was really excited to buy it when it first came out and really wanted to love it. Bh I’m a pretty decent cook/baker but I found a lot of their recipes I didn’t like 😔

Also when I tried their baked ziti it didn’t work for me and the noodles were super chewy 🤷‍♀️

Probably the only “repeat” I’ve made from there are the muddy buddies so I don’t have to get a bowl dirty lol

Those who made the saucy sesame chicken-
Do you think I can make it with ground turkey or will it be dry?

I know this is late, but I just made it with turkey tonight and it was a big hit! No leftovers.

I'm postpartum and my meal train ended this week. I've made meals from dinner done every night since. Teriyaki beef strips, beef and ptitim and saucy sesame chicken (turkey). My husband asked for a few days off from chicken lol and cholent meat was on sale (though I'm excited to toivel my grill pan to try some of the chicken recipes). It's been a lifesaver for getting great dinners on the table while still learning how to function in the new family dynamic

Is there more than 1?

There is just one dinner done cookbook.
Between carpools are the ones that put it out. They also put out 'best of kosher' but it's recipes for from most of the artscroll cookbook authors, not just them.

I started making the hot poppers but we didn't like sauce on them.
Frank's Buffalo wing sauce and honey isn't much of a sauce.
I did just the poppers and made up my own sauce which we liked better.

On their website they have ducksauce and hot sauce instead.

The recipes we really like and I've made often:

Seasoned Rice
Grilled chicken shnitzel
Garlic knot buns
One pot fettucini alfredo
muffins
no pot peanut chews
choc chip sticks

Otherwise either I didn't try or I tried and it didn't go over well.

I have dinner done and use it a ton.

Would love a new fresh cookbook, any recommendations of something similar, easy and delicious.

Our family likes the rice with veggies, maple OJ chicken, the pancakes and the brownies.
Maybe I should try the lo main.
I found the pastas in the oven recipes to be mushy or chewy, we didn't like the texture at all.
