Oh, people will complain about anything.
I LOVE her recipes, honestly. I'm scarfing down her veggie lasagna right now. Great thing is, she includes calories per portion, so I can plug the numbers right into FitDay PC and track what I make. Some of her recipes are rather INVOLVED, yes...but she gives you so many options, all of which (in my experience) taste great, so if you're short on time, why on earth would you pick a dish with the longest ingredient list? You wouldn't.
Took me 15 minutes to prep the meatballs Monday night. Stuck them in the oven for 20, then straight into the fridge for future meals.
She's completely changed how I feel about "healthy food" - at one time, it used to be synonymous with "dry and bland" in my mind. Now I think my healthy meals are some of the most delicious meals I've ever had.

Wednesday is continuing to suck! And the terrible thing about not getting enough sleep is that I'm craving junk foods and chocolate. Booo! I'm going to bed at 8 tonight if I can swing it.

She does like her carbs, but when you're working out regularly, you also need them. She also likes to use about a million different spices or fresh herbs, but that's not really a problem for me, because there's a bulk spice wall at the local health food store where I can stock up for pennies.
Why do people on Amazon have to be such grouches about everything?
