Hamburg Steak with Mushroom Gravy
Great flavor but he mushrooms had an unpleasant texture. Also the hamburger patty had a large piece of tough meat. I don't recommend this dish.

Tasty but could use more vegetables.

Coconut Red Curry & Roasted Salmon
Good but should be listed as spicy! I had to add sour cream to eat it because I do not do spicy food.

Sweet Chili Chicken Bowl
The portion was smaller than what I would normally see with these meals. If it’s the norm, then it will be a pass. Avocado were black by the 3rd day. I ended up rolling it into a burrito with lettuce.
