Garlic Roasted Chicken and Potatoes
This was really tasty! I added carrots to the pan and used minced garlic which I spread on the chicken before baking. I also used just a touch more maple syrup and brushed it on three times over the last 20 minutes of baking. The chicken was perfectly done after one hour - the recipe time was right on!

Janet's Rich Banana Bread
This bread turned out moist and delicious, but I did make a couple of changes. I used softened butter (not melted), mashed the bananas (instead of slicing) used plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, added a little cinnamon, and omitted the walnuts. Yum! It's a keeper! Note that my loaf was done in 50 minutes, so make sure to check yours early!

Gobble Up Granola Snacks
I made these for my kids today with a couple of changes - I substituted honey for the corn syrup and sunbutter for the peanut butter because of nut allergies. I also added a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Otherwise I used the ingredient proportions exactly as stated. They turned out tasty - 3 out of 4 of us enjoyed them, they were fast and easy, and I would definitely make them again! They were a little thin using the 9x13 pan and wanted to fall apart, so next time I'll use a slightly smaller pan and cut smaller (but thicker) squares. Note that an easy way to press them into the pan is to dump the mixture into it, cover with a piece of waxed paper, and use your hands to press it down.
