Southern Soul Gumbo
Another filling meal. I prefer the Louisiana version of gumbo, but you did an excellent job of spicing this dish up. Interesting to taste the difference between Cajun spices and good ol' pepper. Well done.

Don’t like the sauce

Sun-Dried Tomato Braised Chicken with Feta
The bean / spinach mix is great. The chicken / sun dried is disappointing.

Southern Soul Gumbo
Oven cooking time definitely needs adjusted. Needed at least 3 more minutes

Sun-Dried Tomato Braised Chicken with Feta
I really disliked this one. Both the chicken and the spinach had one-note herbal flavors that didn't seem to play well with each other or with the underlying ingredients.

Shrimp Étouffée
It has a nice mild but well flavored taste to it. Very nice!

Didn’t eat the mango sauce (carb restriction) but the chicken was very tasty and a good spicy.
