Reddit reviews Once-A-Month Cooking Family Favorites: More Great Recipes That Save You Time and Money from the Inventors of the Ultimate Do-Ahead Dinnertime Method

I said 'based around' one or two major ingredients. I.e., one time you might use a bulk package of chicken breasts to base half of your dishes on, and a bulk package of ground beef to base others on. That hardly means those are the only two ingredients in the meals, does it? Or do your chicken dishes typically only contain chicken and nothing else? A casserole that has chicken in it, for example, might primarily consist of vegetables and eggs. And unlike the post's chicken-shake, at least the various meals would be different, and you wouldn't have to eat a given one constantly.

Edited to add: Here. I haven't used this particular cookbook and thus couldn't comment on its quality, but the table of contents is browsable on Amazon, and it gives you a good idea of the very wide variety of ingredients and dishes you can work with in this format:
