Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce
Very good dipping sauce and better than the packets for sure. I made some changes to get it to my liking: 1. rice wine vinegar instead of distilled white 2. 3 teaspoons cornstarch- otherwise not thick enough 3.sesame oil instead of vegetable oil 4. 4 tablespoons brown sugar These litlle changes made it better than take out sauce for us, thanks for the basic recipe-it was a great place to start!

Swanson(R) Braised Beef with Shallots and Mushrooms
This was delicious! I used regular beef broth and added Worcestershire sauce. I didn't use the lemon zest as I thought would be weird. I think this recipe was a little more work than some, but the flavor was worth it. I took the skins off my tomatoes before chopping them. When it was finished I mixed it up with egg noodles and served with sourdough rolls. A tasty meal I will make again!

Broccoli Fish Bake
Great recipe and a hit with my whole family. I used tilapia and seasoned it with pepper and fish seasoning . I used a little less milk and used sharp cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. Easy and ready fast, but still tastes wonderful. I will use this recipe often. I served it with baked potatoes and I think rice would be great too. The leftovers made a good lunch too!
