I've done the Red Chili, Chicken Noodle, Beef Barley, Chedder Biscuits, and the little corn fry-ups (whatever they were called) that went with the Red Chili.
The chili was good! The second time I made it I thought we had some bulk Italian sausage in the fridge, but no. Too lazy to rush out to the store, I pulled out a pack of chorizo I had in the freezer and quickly defrosted it. Yumm! First time we had it I just made the little corn cakes. This time I also made a little dip for the cakes made from refried beans and cheddar cheese. That fancied them up so much that my wife insisted I made the dip and corn cakes as an appetizer.
The beef barley soup was good too, but it wasn't good enough to make again - just too much time, too many steps, and too many dishes for the pay-off. Maybe for someone who is a huge fan of beef barley soup.
We're doing the black bean soup tonight and roasted tomato later this week. Now I'm off to order the cookies book too late for Christmas baking. I leafed through it last night at my mother-in-law's and it looks really good!
