The gouda chicken was really good! I made way too much. The kids especially liked the apples. White chili, also a hit. Made a double batch and we ran out. Cavatappi with spinach was one of the fastest meals I've ever prepared from scratch. I made quick work of chopping the spinach by using my kitchen shears. 15 min start to table! (And everybody liked it, which is nice.)
