This is my first review on PPP. I have all of the menu plans and the planner as well. My family loves these curated meals. The only complaint I have ever had is that for my family's palate, we need to increase the seasonings quite a bit. (We must do that with most recipes other than our own tried and true.) With that being said, I would still give all of the menu plans that I have five stars. That is right up until this one, and it only has what I would call a misunderstanding of what a one-pot meal is.
I was so eager and looking forward to a recipe collection of One Pot meals. This one and the Gluten-Free PDF were my most awaited sets. When I got the One Pot Kit, I prepared everything to put it all in the binder. (By the way, I love, love, love these binders.) Once that was done, I started going through the binder to read the menu cards. As I read, my thoughts were, "Wait a minute, this can't be right...there must be some mistake." My disappointment grew as I continued reading more recipes. When I think of One Pot Meals, I think of everything going in one pot, pan, sheet pan, slow cooker, etc., and that being the only pan that will be used throughout the entire recipe. That is not the case with many of these recipes. You must brown in one pan, then put all ingredients in a different pan for the final cook. Therefore, to my way of thinking, not a one-pot meal.
I will say that I absolutely love the ease of the recipes and the flavor when finished of the dishes that we have tried so far. Those things would all receive the normal five stars from me. To Laurie, and all of the PPP team, thank you for all of the hard work and effort that goes into these recipe sets that you provide to all of us. It is always a pleasure to cook with you!
