Vegetable Chicken Soup
My husband really enjoyed this soup. We are on a grain free diet, so I omitted the noodles and used homemade bone broth instead of water and bouillon. I'm sure it would have been great with the noodles as well. I used homemade hot sauce in place of the picante sauce, and even though I didn't use the full amount, it was still a little too spicy for our children. I used frozen raw chicken breast and added it at the time I added the frozen broccoli and cauliflower, and that worked well. My only complaint was that the broccoli and cauliflower were too big (but if they had been raw, that would have been easily remedied, it was my fault for using frozen).

Okanagan Peach Soup
hmmm. This just didn't work for us at all. There are five in our family and none of us was willing to eat more than a bite of this soup. I followed the recipe exactly (using local peaches that I had frozen at the peak of the season last summer, with no added sugar). We love curries, but the combination of flavor and texture of this soup was not appealing to any of us. I did not find it to be too sweet, as some other reviewers did - probably because I had used the plain peaches, whereas canned peaches have added sugar. Maybe that would have made it tastier? Needless to say, I won't be trying this recipe again to find out. I hate to leave negative reviews, but this was a waste of ingredients and big disappointment for our peach-loving family.

Grilled Chuck Steak
My husband liked this a lot, but the flavor was a bit "too much" for myself and the children. It tasted very vinegar-y and even though I marinated overnight, it did not do much to tenderize the steak at all. I would not make this again.
