White Zinfandel Chicken
The spice mix promised a lot just by the smell but after cooking the chicken, it really did not have as much flavor as I expected. I added minced garlic for more flavor and that helped as well as going heavy on the wine. Maybe if it marinated for longer it would hold the flavor of the spices better.

Mashed Chipotle Sweet Potatoes
Great recipe. I added some brown sugar to the top (as recommended by others) so it would caramelize a bit while baking. I tasted the mix before the brown sugar was added and after with the brown sugar was much better. It adds just a touch of sweet to counteract the smokey heat from the Chipotle. So easy to make.

Spicy Vegetarian Lasagna
This is a really great starting place for a vegetarian lasagna. From making others like this, I've learned that unless you bulk it up some with other veggies it just isn't that filling. I also make it a bit healthier by using low fat cottage cheese instead of Ricotta. With the peppers and onions, I add in broccoli, mushrooms and spinach(frozen). Put in as much as you want. I follow the directions as written for the sauce but keep in mind it will not look very sauce like with the extra veggies. No worries though, use it like the recipe suggests, it still works great and tastes even better. I add extra red pepper flakes to the cottage cheese mix and only use one egg. I can't imagine using 4 eggs. I also sprinkled the mozzarella on after putting on the cottage cheese mix. I know I've listed a lot of changes, but it really is worth playing around with to make it your own.
