This recipie was great. I even packed some for lunch. I tried serving it with brown rice and it was a filling meal. I will make this again soon.

Wow!

My husband and I loved this colorful stew! It was really easy and it made the house smell DELICIOUS. My husband is a giant fan of fresh cilantro and it did compliment the many flavors. After a long day of work, this was a nice, satisfying finish to the day. Plus we have leftovers for lunch tomorrow! :)

Yummy!

Tired of Chicken? This recipe was amazing. I followed to a T. Don't bother altering it, the flavour is perfect as is. I loved it, and my "only chicken, please" husband loved it too. Oh yeah, and it was super easy.

Southwest Stew

I told my husband we were going to start eating healthier dinners and he was iffy about that. But the stew came out really flavorful and everyone liked it.

Southwestern Pork and Vegetable Stew

This is absolutely delicious. I made it with less chili powder (1 tsp.) and added lots of fresh cilantro. Great recipe!
