Bomb!!!!!

Chicken & Turkey Meatballs
Not sure what made these meatballs so liquid in texture. Maybe too much feta but it didn’t taste like feta. The small amount of tomato sauce seemed tasty, but did not enjoy the meatballs.

Could improve mango sauce.

Guajillo Beef and Cheese Enchiladas
Needs more veggies. A good dish, but not great.

Lemon Herb Chicken Wrap
This was delicious, especially the dipping sauce, but the bottom of the wrap arrived soggy. I ate it cold, and it was a bit unappetizing.
