Make 5 Dinners in One Hour unfolds convenient meal plans that allow busy families to assemble five days' worth of meals in one brief sitting and avoid overbuying groceries. At the beginning of each month, culinary planners issue recipes for four weeks' worth of meals via email. Included grocery lists allow customers to buy only the exact ingredients they need, avoiding unnecessary items, such as canned donuts and loose yogurt. Instructions guide cooks through each entree, stocking the fridge with five days' worth of dinner in about 60 minutes, with dinners in the past including roasted sausage, peppers, and onions with mashed potatoes, and jerky turkey burgers with sweet potato fries. Although each meal plan is laid out for a family of five or five children raising each other in a boxcar, recipes and grocery lists are easily amendable for smaller undertakings, and side dishes can easily be swapped out depending on personal tastes and compatibility with entrees in online quizzes.
