Kale Salad with Chili Roasted Shrimp
Maybe add a vinaigrette or something for the salad

Was tasty, just wasn't my favorite.

Jambalaya Pasta & Creamy Creole Sauce
Ridiculously spicy!There should be a warning with this! In order to salvage any of this I had to take chicken, shrimp and sausage and rinse them underneath warm water to get some of the spices off and reheat in microwave! Had to throw everything else away. The previous time I had this it wasn't nearly this spicy. Will NOT take a chance with this inconsistent preparation EVER again.

Smoky BBQ Chicken
BBQ Sauce was horrible tasting and was like paste on the chicken

Housemade Corned Beef
Could have been better if the corned beef was a thicker cut. It's so thin it dries out when you heat it per the directions. Otherwise a decent dish.
