Middle Eastern Rice with Black Beans and Chickpeas
I found this recipe to be a little bland. It's missing some sort of acid, like lemon juice or something. I had to top with salsa and sour cream for added flavor. I agree that raisins would be a good addition, but I'm not a super-fan and won't be making it again.

Sweet Spicy Wings
Why have I been going out for wings? I had no idea wings could be awesome without the deep fry!!! This recipe was full of surprises! I followed the recipe exactly. I wasn't sure about the honey in the sauce so I divided it and only used 1/2 the honey in 1/2 the sauce, the other half was a traditional buffalo sauce. The sweet sauced wings were gone first over the traditional buffalo. I'll do that again, b/c they were good. I did find the sauce to be a little too buttery, so next time I will reduce the amount of butter, but still 5 stars as written. (FYI, I used Franks Red Hot for the hot sauce).

Fried Green Tomatoes
I'll explore another recipe before making this one again. However, I can see why other people rated it well... Pros: This recipe has ingredients most pantries have "in stock". The batter sticks to the tomatoes and gets perfectly crispy. It's easy and tastes fresh, not heavy or overly greasy for a fried dish. Cons: The breading lacked flavor. Perhaps using a seasoned breadcrumb instead of the crackers would help? Or adding spices to the crackers or flour? It's just not flavorful enough for me....
