Chicken Breasts with Balsamic Vinegar and Garlic
Delicious and easy - it quite nearly cooks itself! Perfect for company or a weeknight dinner. I would, however, caution against the recommended amount of balsamic - the sauce is a little sharp. Use a bit less/more chicken broth.

Good Old Fashioned Pancakes
Like most recipes with the potential for greatness, these pancakes require practice and a keen eye. I've made this recipe about a half-dozen times, and they are officially phenomenal. But they weren't always that way! The baking soda in the recipe is a great idea...but it thickens the batter. Keep the milk on hand...I increase the initial milk to 1.5c of skim or 1.75c of 2%, then splash every other pancake or so to keep the batter thin enough to produce a good pancake. Don't worry about the batter being too thin - that's where the baking soda is essential! Also, a splash of vanilla at the beginning makes these pancakes a little bit sweet. Delicious!

Elegant Pork Chops
Even with a few reviewer suggestions, this did not wow us. It was standard, boring, and predictable. A solid no-fuss weekday meal, but needs work to make it more tasty. I think a dry packet of ranch combined with a potato flake, flour, garlic and onion powder coating before the browning process would add some kick. I also think adding another herb, like fresh rosemary or basil, would really help.
