Southern Soul Gumbo
It was to bland and to many jalapeños or green peppers I’m not sure which was in it.

Southern Soul Gumbo
I liked it better when I had it previously. This time seemed a little dry. Needs more rice. But I do like the taste overall.

Fenugreek Rubbed Salmon
Salmon is perfectly cooked, moist, tender and delicious! I also enjoyed the spices in the chickpeas.

Ponzu Baked Swai Fish
The bok choy looks nothing like the photo. We got tons of snap peas and barely any bok choy. Where is it? The sauce was bitter. This meal needs a starch or something else as we both were not full

Caramelized Mushroom Quesadilla
This was SO good in the air fryer. I wouldn’t call the mushrooms caramelized, they weren’t. The sauce is amazing. Would get every week
