Tonight for dinner we had Ground Beef Stroganoff from Eating Stella Style p. 139 & Cauliflower Rice Pilaf from the same book p. 199.  Frankly, it was kind of ... weird.  Stroganoff is hard to screw up but this recipe had dill relish in it which seems really strange to me for Stroganoff.  The flavor was a little off.  It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either.  There also wasn't enough sauce to go with it.  

The Cauliflower rice tasted like cauliflower which wasn't bad but again wasn't good either.  I could tolerate both of these but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat them.  I think I'd give them both a 2 out of 5 in their present form.  If we dropped the dill relish and added more sauce, the stroganoff might be a 4.  Adding real stew meat would make it better too.
