Q. Can I use other recipes?
If you really want to of course. BUT one of the ideas of the challenge is to make life as simple and as easy as possible so I really recommend constraining yourself to only using the recipes in the meal plans listed above. There is magic in limiting choices.
Q. Will everyone get a prize?
A. All active simple meal plans members who complete the challenge and cook the number of meals they committed to will be eligible for the prize.
Q. I’m busy that week. Can I join another time?
A. Absolutely! You can take the challenge any time that suits you. You’ll just need to claim your prize by 21st May 2021. But just doing the challenge and enjoying the delicious meals will be a reward in itself if you want to take the challenge after that date.
I am aiming for 3. Good timing as well – I have a very busy work week ahead and these will save a lot of time.
Brilliant Sharon!
I will aim for 3 (but hoping to do 5). Can I perhaps choose a meal from a different week? Hugs!
3 is great Saira!
And of course, feel free to use any other recipe you like if it makes it easier for you.
