Fasoliyyeh Bi Z-Zayt (Syrian Green Beans with Olive Oil)
These are AMAZING!! By far the most delicious green beans I've ever had! My fiance was a bit skeptical about them while he was watching me cook them, but one bite turned him into a believer! He's not a huge fan of green beans, but he loved these and said they were the best he'd ever had! Thanks Tasneem! :D

Chicken Quesadillas and Fiesta Rice
Quite a few people complained that this lacked flavor/was too bland. That was not the case for us! I made the following modifications: I cooked the chicken in butter with garlic salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and a little McCormick taco seasoning. I added the cheddar cheese soup and the salsa, and blended until they had melted together. I tasted the sauce and found it was still a tiny bit on the bland side, so I added more black pepper and crushed red pepper. I made the fiesta rice with Uncle Ben's instant brown rice instead of white, and followed all of the same directions. I had to add an additional 1/2 cup of hot water at the end of the cook time to make sure the rice didn't burn and was cooked thoroughly. I added black pepper and crushed red pepper to the rice as well. These were spicy and delicious! My fiancé loved them, and ended up eating the chicken sans tortilla because the sauce was so good! Definitely a keeper! If you find yours is too bland, add your favorite spices! Stir, taste, and add some more! Cooking is an experiment...I never follow recipes exactly and they always turn out better for it! ;)

Sweet, Sticky and Spicy Chicken
My fiance LOVED this! So much so, that he wants ne to make it again tonight! ;) I used the ingredients I had on hand, so I used ground ginger and garlic salt in place of fresh. Also used La Victoria Salsa Brava hot sauce. I spiced the chicken with garlic, pepper, and red pepper flakes, and boy was this dish SPICY!! I may omit the red pepper flakes next time. Served with brown rice and broccoli for a delicious, filling meal!
