Why thirteen?

A baker’s dozen.
Bakers once added a thirteenth loaf to every dozen. We do the same: a full week of dinners, plus a few spares.
Honest times.
Prep plus cook time, nothing hidden. The 30-minute menu only holds recipes that really total 30 minutes or less.
Easy to follow.
Ingredients in US cups and spoons, one action per step, and a print button on every recipe.
