Fiesta Taco Casserole My husband and I enjoyed this dinner. I only used S&P to season the beef, but with spicy chili beans and hot salsa the flavor in the dish was great. The tortilla chips at the bottom do get soggy - while I actually liked that, I don't think they add any flavor to the dish and they certainly don't help it nutritionally so I would skip them in the future. This is also a good lettuce wrap filling. The fresh tomatoes are a nice touch.

Country French Chicken and Rice Easy recipe, the rice was surprisingly flavorful. Not quite five stars as I feel a lot more can be done with the rice, but I will make it again to experiment!

Parmesan Potatoes and Ham I liked the idea of this recipe but I made several changes. I used frozen mixed vegetables instead of O'Brien potatoes, but I made the topping more as mashed potatoes than potato-thickened sauce. I searched around and found a from-scratch replacement for the cooking sauce. I used 1 cup of Buds with about 2 cups of my homemade cooking sauce to get a flavorful mashed potato mixture, and poured an additional one cup of the sauce over my ham and vegetables. The dinner was good although not going on our favorites list. I would make it again, with the same ingredients although I think the sauce/potato ratio would need more tweaking. It was almost too flavorful!

Chocolate-Hazelnut-Pumpkin Tart This was easy to make and combines two really delicious things, pumpkin pie and "hazelnut spread with cocoa." These two delicious things together make a good pie, but not my favorite. I would not choose this pie to replace traditional pumpkin at Thanksgiving! But I would probably make it again.

Roasted Cauliflower with Asiago and Orange I thought this was very good. I love asiago and I love cauliflower, and both worked well with the orange. A pretty easy side dish, too - get this started and in to the oven, and it's the perfect amount of time to work on a quick main course (we ate it with the Orange Zested Chicken Breasts).
