Good to know

How long do these take?

Half are done in about 23 minutes. The quickest is around 8 minutes and the longest about 60 minutes, so there is something here whether you have a spare hour or twenty minutes.

How many calories are in these?

Most land between 122 and 378 calories a serving. Every recipe shows its own calories plus protein, carbs and fat, calculated per serving rather than per batch.

Do these come with a grocery list?

Yes. Any recipe here can be added to a grocery list that adds up quantities across everything you have chosen and sorts it by aisle, so two recipes needing onions become one line.
