Tuscan Pot Roast
taste was just OK. Beef was tender but too many brussel sprouts. One container arrived intact but the other was all messed up

Tuscan Pot Roast
Beef brisket was poor quality and incredibly chewy. I won’t order this meal again.

Fettuccine with Beef Meatballs
Liked the combination and the flavors

Fettuccine with Beef Meatballs
Really enjoyed this . Very tasty. But I feel like it should have been cooked covered in foil to keep the noodles from getting crunch. Adding water wasn't enough.

Martini-Style Chicken
A bit too many veggies for me. Also, the sauce threw me off. It was very watery. The chicken was actually pretty good. There were a couple of tough portions, but it had flavor.
