Chicken and Dumplings III
I didn't really follow the recipe given. I took everyone else's suggestions. My husband said that the meal was restaurant quality, and he knows his southern foods! My changes were as follows: 2 cans chicken broth, 1 can cream of chicken soup, 1 can cream of celery soup, 1 can cream of mushroom soup, package of 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 1/8 of an onion, minced, 1 Tblsp. butter, 1.5 cans Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits. Combine soups in a crock pot and turn on high heat. Melt the butter in a frying pan and sautee the onions. Add chicken to onions and butter. Cook all the way through. Cut chicken in small pieces and add to crock pot. Start pinching off and flouring thumb-sized pieces of biscuits. The flour keeps them from sticking together and also thickens the broth. Add big can of biscuits first. Wait 20 minutes, then flour and add the can of five biscuits, making sure the dough is small. As the dumplings cook, they will plump. Too big of pieces leads to a doughy, uncooked center. Let cook on high for about an hour to an hour and a half. Turn on low for another 15 minutes, then serve! I did not add peas and carrots to mine. That is optional.

Pecan Pie IV
I made Pecan Pie for the first time for a friend of mine who special requested it. After sorting through the recipes on this site, I discovered this one. I will look no further! The pie was incredible! I followed the recipe, but mixed half dark corn syrup with half light corn syrup. I also topped the pie with Emerald's Pecan Pie glazed Pecans. Yummy! It really is an easy pie to make. My husband was requesting another one as soon as he finished off the first. Perfect and delicious pie!

Parmesan Chicken
This was a hit at my dad's 50th birthday party! He loves Chicken Parmesan and wanted me to cook it for him. This recipe is a keeper! I also baked my chicken in the oven. It came out crispy and just perfect. I added the butter to the breading like someone else suggested to give it a crunchier crust. I also put fresh garlic slices on top of my chicken to give it a little extra kick. This is a recipe that can be experimented with. So good!
