Were they good? Which ones would you make again? Is there anything you'd change?
ReplyDeleteGreat question!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made the Honey Sesame Chicken, Maple Dijon Glazed Chicken, Carolina Pulled Pork Sandwiches, or Ranch Pork Chops just yet.
I loved the Teriyaki Pork! It was sweet and the pork fell apart. I bet chicken would be delicious as well. My husband and I ate it with rice.
I made the Beef Stew when I had the stomach flu for my husband. I was on a liquid diet so I didn't get to eat any but it smelled amazing. That being said, my husband was not a huge fan.
The Swedish Meatballs were absolutely delicious!! I definitely plan on making it again -- my husband and I loved taking the leftovers for lunch the next day.
Hope that helps :)
