  1. Hi, Poppydiesel. In general, you can swap in recipes for similar items in the Menu Planner. In this case, it counts for only 1 protein, which is quite simple – it can stand in for a plain egg, or a piece of cheese, etc.

  2. Hi, pdhforthebetter. That’s a good question, and your solution of cooking them a little less ahead of time is excellent. In general, the key to reheating them is LOW heat and a short time period. If you use a microwave, do so at a low power level (i.e. 3 or 4 out of 10) for about 30 seconds.

  3. If you make and freeze these..what do you do when you take them from the freezer. I assume that you bake them from frozen again, but if so for how long? Or can you pop them in the microwave. Also, if you know that they’re going into the freezer, perhaps they only need to be baked for 10/15mins, and when taken from the freezer, baked from frozen for 15/10 mins?

  4. I’m excited about this one! It’s pretty basic and looks like something that I can use on workdays to make sure I have something in my stomach before heading out the door. I plan to try it out this weekend so I’ll let you all know how it came out.

  5. Hi, 6733hbr. Some of these recipes are already in the Menu Planner, and we are working on adding all of them. In the meantime, you can find a similar food in the current list (in the above example, just an egg will do) and make the swap at food prep time.
