Not worth eating again. Spent time purchasing items prepping cooking and then eating. Just okay. So not worth cooking again. Read More

Thought this had a really nice flavor! Oven wasn't working so I just fried my veggies and threw all the rest in a pot on top of the stove until rice was done. Had to watch it a bit more but turned out great. Didn't have chestnuts so added a can of bamboo shoots and some red pepper for color! Read More

Very easy to make. The kids had no idea the zucchini was in there we have a lot shredded. There were no left overs. I also used long grain brown rice instead of white rice which my husband loves!! Read More

Prepared as per the recipe and to be quite honest it tasted really bland. Don't think I'll use it again. Read More

This is delicious in it's original form BUT it works great for leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Chop some up and toss it in instead of chicken! I traded the cream of mushroom out for cream of chicken soup. I shredded the zucchini put in a cup of celery and omitted the water chestnuts. Not necessary and you get plenty of crunch from the celery. Not your typical leftover turkey recipe but SO delicious. Read More

I used green beans instead of zucchini. I did not care for them. Over all the dish was good but not great. Read More

This dish is delicious! We regularly have different group sessions in our home and this is a regular on my list to serve! I will substitute cream of chicken for the mushroom sometimes or use one chicken and one mushroom. Still just as good. Read More
