Quick and Easy Tuna Casserole
Maybe more like 31/2 stars but better than I expected. I used canned chicken instead of tuna (don't like tuna), and halved the recipe. The only other differences were using canned peas, adding a sprinkle of garlic powder (probably won't bother next time), and sauteeing the onions ahead of time. One of my kids liked it and one didn't, but I thought it was pretty good. Definitely filling! There was one aftertaste that I couldn't put my finger on though - maybe the processed cheese, maybe the garlic powder or the peas. I will try it again though.

Lemon Linguine
Pretty good. Not very lemony but more like a type of pesto sauce. Simpler than making an actual pesto. I might make it again.

Zucchini Risotto
I made this with orzo and half the broth, plus had to leave out the tomatoes (husband hates them). I like being able to incorporate veggies into a side dish but the taste was a bit off. The herbs were too strong and it was missing pizazz. I think it needed a little acid or something. I don't know if the tomatoes would have made a big difference. Perhaps a squirt of lemon juice or rice wine vinegar would have added a bit of punch. I will try it again when I can reduce the herbs, add the tomatoes and a bit of "something else" to improve the flavor. Not a bad starter recipe though.
