I am enjoying the results of the recipes but find many that could be improved for easier use by PWA members. Listing the ingredients in order of use in the recipe, simpler terms (Chiffonade, e.g., may not be a term used daily by the average cook), foods that may be substituted if those listed are not readily available, and making sure all the ingredients listed show up in the directions would help. |

| Is there any way to get the whole week of recipes at once instead of one at a time? |

| I love some of the recipes from the maker's diet online program and I was just going to start phase 1 of that when I received the link for PWA. Can the recipes from Maker's diet phase 1 still be used for PWA phase 1? I totally understand the maker's diet....is this the same plan? It would be nice if all the recipes from the maker's diet plan were included on this one. I have a finicky eater to feed and need more variety. I don't want to have to keep up with 2 online programs! Thanks. |

| It would be helpful to have recipes that are more appropriate for those of us who have little time to cook, and/or have simpler tastes. Packed lunches could make use of leftovers, but the meal planner will not accept those choices. |

| I am trying to understand the servings on some of the recipes. They may say serves 4, eat 1.5 servings.That would mean that I should eat 1&1/2 servings, true? Others say serves 1 - eat 1.5 servings, if it only serves 1 than I must double the recipe to eat 1.5 servings?? Or serves 2 - eat .75 servings? How do I figure 3/4 of 2 servings? Maybe I should understand but I don't. |

| Glenna, when you go to your meal planner, or even on your home page - where it shows the menu items, double-click on whichever meal you want and it will pop up a window with the recipe in it. - Melissa |

Would it be possible to note the serving size on the recipes? It would sure make it easier to figure out 1.5 or .75 servings. I'm concerned that I'm getting too MUCH food.
For example,-- I made the lentil soup yesterday. My husband and I both had a bowl of soup for lunch -- our servings were average in size, maybe 1.5 to 1.75 cups. When I ladled the remaining soup into 2-cup containers I was able to fill 4 containers and still had more soup left over. Even 2 cups seems like a lot. The recipe says it's for 4 servings.
BTW, the soup was delicious. :o)

| Please include recipes for vegetarians! I work in a health food retail setting and I will not be recommending this program to people who are curious about starting PWA. This isn't friendly to all Americans who want to eat healthy. |

| I would like to see the amount to eat in cups, ounces ect. I don't know if I am eating too much, too little or just right when it says to eat 1.25 of recipe. I also wish the ingredients were in the order of combining them. Thanks |

I agree, it is confusing to figure out how many cups of soup etc are in "4 servings" I try and measure servings with a ladle that I know how much it holds for soups and the chili, but I kinda divide up the veggies as I am prepping them to cook. Having a cup or ounce equivalent would save much time for all of us. Also, I had made a binder for the recipes and I make notes on how much a serving is, once I spend the time figuring it out.
Oh and Emily, I agree with you 100% !!!!! They really need to write the recipe ingredients in the order of use, man that is a pain in the butt. I have left out ingredients a few times because of the order they are listed. I also have tinkered with a few as far as the flavoring, some of them seem like they should be full of flavor but we find them bland. |
