Shrimp Scampi ala Norelllaura
My boyfriend and I were unimpressed as it was very bland in our opinion. I even added extra red bell pepper, garlic and butter to try to make it taste better plus some Italian Seasoning as one reviewer recommended. The recipe doesn't call for salt and pepper, however, I finally started adding some to try to make it tastier. My boyfriend said it could still stand more salt. Not sure why there is no salt and pepper in the recipe? It definitely has room for improvement. Pretty sure I won't try it again and will move on to another recipe.

Florentine Stuffed Chicken
We love this recipe....so please don't consider this a negative response....however, you will need to cook this longer than indicated....(depending on the size of the breast) to bring the temperature to 165-170 degrees. We love it...have made it several times (always peel off the skin), however, didn't marinate the chicken in advance(as some indicated) but I think it would enhance the flavor of the meat. I use either fresh (saute if fresh) or frozen spinach (drained and squeezed)...add fresh garlic and whatever else I have on hand such as sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic, crushed red pepper (I'm thinking artichoke hearts would be awesome). I did add sea salt and fresh ground pepper each time, however, always add a variety of ingredients depending on what I have on hand. I actually had to cover my chicken breasts for awhile with foil to get them to the desired temperature. You want an internal temp of 165-170. Serve with whatever pasta you want. I served with orzo and it made a nice presentation. If you have leftover "spinach mixture" you can either put on top of the chicken breasts or mix in with whatever pasta you decide to use. Serve with a salad and good bread and you have a meal that willl be nice enough to present to company. Enjoy!

Greek Chicken
I'm sorry....I'm not trying to be mean, but truthful, as I'm a pretty good cook.... however, am always looking for new recipes. I had higher expectations of this. Thought it was absolutely medicore. Nothing spectacular....will probably feed the leftovers to the dogs, as me and my boyfriend have no interest in eating it again. Not sure how it won a recipe contest.....either the feta and/or the olives were over powering.
