Parmesan Chicken II
This was good, and quick & easy! I added some italian seasonings and whatnot, but it still tasted just a bit bland. I think next time I will season the coating a bit more heavily. I really LOVE the crispy texture!! For those who find it to be "mushy", try taking the skin off, and then following the recipe. That's what I did to cut down on the fat, and it really was very crispy!

Triple Berry Crisp
I halved this recipe because there are only 2 of us... I melted the butter to make it mix easier into the dry ingredients, and found that worked fabulously. I cut the butter to one stick for a 1\2 recipe, and used Whole Wheat flour... and I feel the butter was still a bit too much, but it tasted heavenly. I used fresh blackberries, blueberries and strawberries from my wholesale club, and I really liked the combo. I think next time i might use just strawberries and blueberries, and cut the butter back even further, adding some applesauce instead to keep it moist. Really good recipe. Love the idea of a top and bottom crumble!

Herb Rubbed Sirloin Tip Roast
I thought this was fabulous. I had a 7lb roast for Easter... so I doubled the recipe. I used chili powder instead of cayann after reading repeatedly that it was too spicy. I also used fresh rosemary and thyme from my garden, and used table salt instead of Kosher salt, I just cut the amount in 1\2. It was really amazing. Took about 3 hours to cook. Great Rub, I can see how it would be excellent on fish, chicken, pork... almost anything! Thanks!
