My Review: 20 Minute Meals is a great resource to have on hand for those busy nights. The ingredients are not overly exotic especially if you cook many meals from home. Items such as balsamic vinegar, coconut oil, spices, pastas, wraps, and fresh veggies.
Could I use 20 Minute Meals every night? Most of the recipes look delicious and are exactly how my family eats. My meats are usually frozen so the menu planning is ideal for me. I have made a few of Leigh Anns dishes which were wonderful. I haven’t made a full week of them but that’s because a few nights a week are too busy for me to spend any time in the kitchen and I quickly thaw something such as soup from the freezer.
Do the meals take 20 minutes? For the few I did make yes they only took 20 minutes. The key is to have your meat fully thawed and your ingredients ready and your workspace prepped.
It’s a great buy at only $4.99 => 20 Minute Meals
