Now we have a wide variety to make life a bit easier and hopefully help you to not have to alter menus as often.

My first time here and loving all the info I am reading. Little over whelming however I am working through it all. Question some of the sub you have been referring too such as flours, brown rice and broths, is this for gluten free? Thank you for all this information, it is very helpful. Hi ladies!

I prefer to replace ready-made ingredients with home-made ones, but I'm not sure how to safely (for the recipe's sake) get around this one... Thanks!

This ups the protein. I also add flax to every baked good. The remaining flour is usually a mix of white and wheat flour.

Also, we add colorless, tasteless fiber to our meals to supplement our bodies - you can add to muffin batter, eggs, sauces, coffee...anything. It is not a bad idea to try!!!

I'm new to cooking and can use all the help I can get. Shopping for the April menu, I saw the healthier options in the store, but steared clear for fear it would affect the recipes negatively. For May I'll try a few and see how it works :) Thanks for the advice! I’m new to cooking and can use all the help I can get.

It always boggles my mind when people complain about a - ahem - FREE service that other people are providing! It is one thing to ask a legitimate question, but another to complain! Thank you so much Tricia and Courtney! I am really looking forward to cooking this month! 8 ) Oh, and my healthy subsitutions - low sodium soups and broth, whole wheat pasta, brown rice, and using turkey or 90/10 or 95/5 beef. And I always serve a side of fresh or frozen veggies with our frozen (or fresh) dinners. Loved the fish recipes last month!! Amen Carrie!

I mean, make your own darn site people. These women aren't YOUR mother! I think many of the meals are quite healthful given the constraint of freezing, which does not treat all food equally. My perspective is that days where you don't use your freezer meals are the ones to make most healthful, stir-frys, salads, other items to incorporate fresh vegetables and other ingredients. This can't be a one size fits all resource, I'm pretty sure this is not a site written by registered dietitians to help with serious dietary constraints. I am sure appreciating the time our authors put into it, and we've had some great meals this month.
