Over all good. Favorite dish may have been the pork stir fry ramen. Least favorite was the shrimp by far. Did not receive arincini but got plenty of credit back. Enjoyed overall.
Garlicky Shrimp Couscous Bowls- it seemed the portion for the couscous was way smaller than the picture had you believe. The shrimp was not deveined to the extent I hoped it’d be (but maybe I’m just picky), so I spent extra time deveining it. We also did not receive the correct recipe card for it. Was tasty overall. 7/10
Soy-Glazed Hoisin Meatloaf- meatloaf puffed up more into balls than patties. But we’re delicious and tender. Siracha mayo was a tasty touch to green beans. 10/10
Peanut Pork Noodle Stir Fry- loved grating the carrot on the box grater lol. Oddly satisfying. Felt like this didn’t take that long and it was top notch tasty. 10/10
Smothered Chicken with Bacon Gravy- probably the most involved one, labeled “medium.” Whacking away with the meat mallet probably had my neighbors hating me. I actually messed up and switched the uses of the crème fraiche and the sour cream. Still a good end result. 9/10
Citrusy Tex Mex Pork Filet- pork is juicy and tender. Tex mex sauce was a nice little heat complemented by the cool lime cream sauce. Loved the veggie combination. 10/10
Beef Empanadas- served as a side with the Tex Mex pork. Baked in oven, probably not as crispy as the air fryer. Still a cute side dish. Simple and easy. 9/10

The shrimp couscous bowl is a 9/10 for me (actually have it to make this week). I love it, but I also don’t follow the recipe exactly. I’ve been doing these long enough that all the recipes are a guide and I’ll add/subtract things to my liking or change some things up sometimes. Based off your plating, you seem to be a by the recipe and picture person.
Those empanadas are garbage. I’ve tried a couple of different ones and they’re all terrible, even when air fried. They’re edible, that’s about it.
i happen to have all of the ingredients for the meatloaves in my fridge right now…would you mind sharing a pic of the back of the recipe card?
The smothered chicken was insanely good. I ate all of it one sitting even tho it killed me. So. Good.
How funny. I messed up with the crème fraiche as well. Put both that and the sour cream in the potatoes (they were great). Luckily had an extra from another recipe for the sauce.
Loved that shrimp bowl. Wife’s a picky eater and we’ve bother never had couscous but it was rather good! Would definitely recommend trying. I have the meatloaf haven’t tried that one yet. Recent made the zucchini sausage risotto (not pictured). First time making a risotto. Gordon Ramsey would have called it trash but I enjoyed it!!
