    All I see here are appetizers, or snacks. Where are the meals?

    Not sure who these meals are for. First off my husband would laugh at me if I sat him down to eat half of these things. They are mostly apps not meals. Secondly, I have two kids (3 an 5) and I can't see them eating Catfish, mango and shrimp, and crabcakes. Where are the family meals?

    Seriously -- I looked up just one of these: Pasta Cake.

    17 grams of fat, 64 grams of carbs per serving and an hour to make? Like I'm going to trade a trip through the drive through for this?

    hmm I agree with the comments from others. These are NOT for dinner unless these are intended for those single people who are on a diet plan. Great recipes for appetizers though!

    How about a menu for the week that is affordable, filling, and family friendly?

    My three year old would look at it and say "That's disgusting!" and then run for the hills. My husband would be just as immature. These recipes are only for single women.

    Ok please tell me who has these kind of ingredients on hand? I mean seriously, I never plan a meal, who knows what the family feels like eating the day before. I need meals that can be made easily with ingredients most would normally have on hand. Family and kid friendly please!
