    Thank you for this email. I just recently lost my husband and have had no desire to cook at all but after reading this email I have found at least 6 or 7 meals I would like to make. No adjusting of quantities or so many left overs I have no hope of finishing which is refreshing. My freezers are full right now – no room for left overs.
    Thanks so much
