Pot Roast with Horseradish Sauce
This was actually inedible. I had two dishes this week that were terrible for the first time. This was so full of gristle that I had to spit out half the pieces! What I could eat didn't taste like much either.

Beef Tinga Tacos
This was great, though the corn tortillas crack. I would recommend instead of microwaving, warm them up in a pan.
