Aleppo Spiced Cod
The cod is good, but I only gave it 3 stars because the brussel sprouts were tough and almost inedible.

Needs more sauce

Aleppo Spiced Cod
Spice on the cod was nice but the brussle sprouts were undercooked and hard. The baby potatoes were nicely cooked but left whole so they were bland.

Cajun Seared Shrimp and Orzo Salad
The orzo and shrimp are delicious, but the inclusion of the fennel salad is random and also inconvenient to have to remove before microwaving

Chile Verde Street Tacos
I don't like rice with tacos, too many carbs. So I tossed the tortillas and spooned the Chile verde over the rice and added the lime juice, radishes and onions. it was a delicious.
