Piri Piri Chicken Thighs
Love this dish. Did it in the air fryer. Chicken was juicy and the whole thing was flavorful!

Aleppo Spiced Cod
need more protein; the amount of veggies overpowered the cod

Classic Duck Confit
The duck was delicious but I wish it had a light sauce of sorts. Also the whole meal kind of became too greasy with the mashed potatoes since duck is a somewhat fatty meat itself.

Roasted Pork Chili Verde
I barely had any meat. Just a bunch of sauce and a ton of rice.
