Hey everyone! We’ve been meaning to tell those of you in Ontario that two of our frozen meal kits (formerly “Stir Crazy” and “Worth Every Penne,” now “Sesame-Ginger Chicken Stir-Fry” and “Mediterrean Chicken Penne”) are now available in the frozen section at Costco. Cool! We’ve had tons of great feedback on the meals, so thanks a million to everyone who took the time to write to us about them.
I heard that Costco was heating up and serving up samples this past weekend. Isn’t Costco great? I’ve said it a million times, but you gotta love a place where go to buy bulk toilet paper but end up with a new flat-screen TV instead.
Anyway, look for our snazzy new packaging and the name “Janet & Greta’s One-Pot Wonders.” We’ve also been working on frozen lasagnas with whole-wheat noodles (they’re great, even if we do say so ourselves!), soups, pizzas and dips. Maybe someday we’ll have our own J&G section at Costco! (Or not. Can’t hurt to dream big.)

Tried to purchase one of your yummy pizzas at our local A&P today only to find out that they no longer carry your line!!! What’s going on here?

Man, I so wish I could get your food at Costco in America. My husband wants you guys to open up chain restaurants, which would be really cool, but the meal kits would be almost as good, if I could just get them here. I guess I will have to be satisfied with cooking from your books, which I do regularly. Tomorrow it will be I’m dreamin of a white chili. Love that stuff.

Where else can your meal kits be purchased? Which grocery stores carry them? (I’ve yet to come across them anywhere. But maybe I just haven’t been looking hard enough!)

Hi Janet and Greta,
First of all - I want to say I love your cookbooks - I use them all the time - I think they are great - I am a mom with 2 kids who have told me to stop buying Kraft dinner because my mac and cheese is the best (your recipe). That is a great endorsement!
Were not big on fast food but we do need to have food fast- especially during the week - my husband & I both work so everyone is starving when we get home.
One of the things I like to do is to tab the meals I am going to make so I can make my grocery list. That’s what I really wanted to write about - have you ever thought of making an interactive website where people could log on and select the recipes and build the grocery list at the same time. You could include the password when people buy the books. I’m doing this on paper but I think it would be a great idea to help people who want to eat well. Life is so busy, anything to make things easy really helps.
Looking forward to your next great idea!
Caryn

Hi Ladies
Dominion used to carry your Crazy plates. I’ve checked a few others, (Sobey’s Longos Food Basics)No success.What store (without an annual fee) now carries them?
Thanks
Margaret

Dear Margaret,
Our meal kits are only at Costco now. Do you have a friend with a membership? Maybe that would work.

I went to Costco yesterday and they didn’t have any of
your products there. They said they were not on order
at this time and they didn’t know when they would be
ordered. I’m hoping after Christmas they will have them
again. I love the Mediterrean Chicken Penne.
Do you know why Costco doesn’t have them all
the time?
