Me- 🙂Boyfriend- 🙂 Starting back up again with a new cookbook. I’m trying out dishes from an Australian cookbook. This dish my boyfriend selected first. The recipe called for spaghetti but I found fresh Angel Hair, plus we both prefer that noodle. I used lump crab from Wegmans. I loved how quick and easy this…

Chicken Burrito Bowl
Me- 🙂Boyfriend- 😕 I enjoyed this as an easy dinner. I used this Recipe as a general guideline and I made some variations. I left off the corn tortilla strips, I bought them but didn’t feel like making them. I didn’t season and grill the chicken as directed, instead I put some frozen rotisserie chicken…
Cajun-Style Cod
Me- 😕Boyfriend- 😕 Originally when I made this recipe (date unknown) I gave this a 🙂. Our major complaint was that it lacked salt. Ironically, I kept looking at my salt container, tempted to sprinkle some in the seasoning blend, but I wanted to stick true to the recipe. My other complaint, and this is…
Fish Taco Bowl
Me- 😕Boyfriend- 😕 My boyfriend and I give this the same score. Neutral face but it would have been a smiley face as a wrap. I tried this recipe. The main edits were that I didn’t get red cabbage for the slaw mix, I didn’t have chipotle pepper seasoning and I didn’t have jalapeño for…
Thai-inspired Barbecued Chicken
Me- ☹️Boyfriend- 😕 We liked the previous wings more. They were better after I stuck them in the air fryer for a bit, but they were still disappointing. The wings sat in a marinade that contained lemongrass, ginger, garlic, shallots, cilantro, sugar, coconut milk, fish sauce and soy sauce. While I love these flavors, the…

Orange-Glazed Chicken Wings
Me- 🙂Boyfriend- 🙂🙂 These wings were so good! The glaze on the chicken was very flavorful. I loved the hint of orange from the orange marmalade. The only negative feedback about this dish isn’t for the recipe at all. I deviated and picked up party wings (or wingettes) from Costco instead of deconstructing chicken wings…
Wok Veggie Fried Rice with Shrimp
Boyfriend- 😕Me- 😕 Not the best. Not the worst. I’ve made better fried rice before. I was disappointed that the main sauce used for the recipe was soy sauce. The original recipe actually called for homemade wasabi soy sauce, but the boyfriend isn’t a big fan of spicy. This was in the vegetarian main dishes…
Chicken Fajita Bowl
Boyfriend- 🙂Me- 🙂 Apologies for the photo, I got so excited for this dinner that I started digging in and forgot to properly plate my meal. I loved this. This is a great way to have Chipotle at home. I modified the recipe a bit by adding some seasonings: chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin…
Grilled Chicken Fusilli Marinara
Boyfriend- 🙂Me-🙂 Technically this is Broiled Chicken Fusilli Marinara. It was raining and the pollen has been killer so I wanted to prevent the grill master from dealing with pollen. So I broiled the chicken instead and it was nice and juicy. I was hesitant about the cauliflower fitting into this dish, but it was…
