Restaurant Style Egg Drop Soup
This was perfect! I did follow other suggestions by adding green onions, white pepper, and a splash of soy sauce. I also whisked 3 whole eggs with a tablespoon of water. I could have done better with adding the egg at a slower rate as I did have some chunks but else it was perfect. This has been added to my recipe box!

Chicken with Blueberry Sauce
excellent recipe. I followed as directed and thought the vinegar amt was fine. I used spicy brown mustard and red rasberry preserve as I did not have the other. Easy to make. This is a keeper.

Parmesan Chicken
The other suggestions were great. I added fresh garlic to the egg mix. Extra herbs to the Italian bread crumbs, montreal steak seasoning, Cayenne pepper for spice, and Parmesan cheese. Next time I will tone it down since I could not taste the cheese. I baked it but was not getting as brown as I like so I topped off under the broiler. I paired it with pasta shells and alfredo and added parmesan and blue cheese to the pasta. Wow...fabulous combo between the chicken and pasta. Next time I plan on making a blue cheese sauce to drizzel over the chicken and substituting the pasta with a veggie. Great recipe!
