Southern Fried Chicken Thigh
Very tasty. Nice that the chicken coating stays crispy. Could benefit from a green in addition.

Creamy Leek & Mushroom Pot Pie
Leek was very strong tasting. Onions need to be cooked more.

Mediterranean Shrimp Bowl
One of my favourites. It would be perfect if it was higher in protein.
