Easy Chicken Tetrazzini
I made as called for but did add 1/4 tsp of both garlic powder and onion powder as others had suggested, but it still wasn't enough oomph. (Hence the 3.) Everyone ate it, but my husband, myself and the kids all thought it needed something. I did add a small can of mushrooms, which was the only part that really had much flavor...wish I had added more. It was fairly easy to make, so if I did make it again I will definitely use more black pepper (and maybe even some cayenne), plus more garlic and more onion powder. I might even stir some cheese into the mixture, but I had tripled it already to about 3/4 C. Maybe even some sundried tomatoes would be good in this?

Shrimp and Crab Enchiladas
This recipe was okay. I was expecting to be WOW'd and was let down. I did use the flour tortillas as the recipe called for, but in my traditional enchiladas I will ONLY use corn. My 17 yr old son did request that I make them again, and he usually hates white cream sauces so I was kind of shocked at that. My husband is not home yet, so the verdict is out yet for him. I will probably try them again, but this time use the corn tortillas. I pretty much made them as called for in the recipe, except I had cheddar Jack cheese, only 12 oz of shrimp in my pkg and I mixed 1/2 C sour cream with 1/2 C of the green enchilada sauce and some of the shredded cheese, which was a combination of this recipe and the shrimp and crab enchilada recipe that was on the back of the package of shrimp I had purchased. BTW...if you're looking for the green sauce go to the Mexican aisle of a larger store and look toward the bottom shelves...that's where I found mine. I will try to update with comments again once I try the corn tortillas.

Bechamel Sauce
It was just OKAY for us. We do like our foods more spicy and I tried to spice it up more, but with very little success. I actually added 4 pinches of ground red pepper and a dash of liquid shrimp boil. I added chicken and sliced red/green peppers. These peppers were the best part of the dish. My try using as a base and making major alterations for the next time, but will not make as called for in this recipe...too bland for us.
