2012 Recipe-a-Day Box Calendar

 (1 customer review)

Having received this as a Christmas gift, I cannot figure out who this calendar is designed for. Who, besides someone who likes to cook, would want a new recipe every day? And what cook worth his/her kosher salt would want a recipe for "Veggie Soup" that includes 2 cans of green beans, a can of corn, a can of carrots, 1 can of potatoes, V8 and "a head of cabbage (optional)?"

These recipes are simply terrible -- poorly written, with almost no instructions, few measurements and lots of canned/processed ingredients (instant pudding, Velveeta, cake mix, canned frosting). It's a safe bet they've never been tested. What kind of instruction is "follow directions in roasting bag?" Even if you want a Caesar salad with canned olives, pre-shredded mozzarella, premade garlic croutons and bottled Caesar, you surely don't need a recipe for it.

Don't waste your money on this. Blech.
