Stars
Jessie: 3.5 out of 5
Jason: 3.95 out of 5

Thoughts:
It took about an 30 minutes from start to ready to serve. Jason said he gave it a 3.95 because it was like one of our regular meals and it was good. He was surprised that the sauce turned out better than he expected. I thought the meal was ok, nothing to exciting. Kind of like Jason said this is something that we eat on a pretty regular basis except for using turkey meat (which you can't tell any difference) and the "home-made" meat sauce. We also chose to have a regular lettuce salad (lettuce, cheese and a few other things we each put on our salad) over making the salad that was suggested.
