Chicken Marsala
Great dish that's relatively quick, especially if you pre-pound the chicken. Put on the rice, I also over tripled the sauce, (took the ckicken out on a platter to keep warm i the oven, & added diced roasted jarred garlic) adding 1 1/2C Marsal, 1/4C Good sherry, 3/4 mushroom broth, 1 C chicken broth & the corn startch slurry was made with the water from jarred mushrooms I used (no fresh on hand that day. I added the extra liquids as I thought the sauce as is was too WINE/ALCHOHOL tasting for my girls to go for it. It made a great dish

Digestive Biscuits
Brit in US- Good Start but not quite there yet. Not at all like store bought. I would like to see this alot lighter & flakier like a true digestive biscuit. I used stone cut oatmeal which may acct. for the density, next time I'll try w rolled quick oats Next I would try with pastry flour & all ingredients cold to see if that makes a difference. WHO WOULDN"T WANT A GOOD DIGESTIVE BISCUIT! WILLING TO WORK ON THIS!! THRILLED TO HAVE FOUND THIS AS A BASE TO WORK FROM.

Quick Savory Cranberry Glazed Pork Loin Roast
FIVE STARS FOR FLAVOR w a MINT TWIST. Thought the sauce would be too "gunky sweet" with all that sugar from jam & cranberry sauce, it wasn't. All said it was yummy AND from my point of view, the quickest roast I ever made (fully thawed) but it's not walk away time. I was busy making gravy & ladling every 10 min. Originally I only had 1/2C of apple jelly & used 1/2C of Mint Jelly w flecks of mint, to make up for it. It was a DELIGHTFULLY HAPPY ACCIDENT & lent a subtle undertone of mint. Next time I will use solely mint to replace the apple jelly. I had at least 1 Cup of sauce, not used for basting & put it in a saucepan, added at least three cups of chicken broth (stirring some of it with 3T of Corn starch) & it was a wonderful lighter gravy & there was plenty of it. Entire dinner was served w steamed fresh carrots & fresh green beans & (canned)baby pototoes (my best quick assistant in the kitchen) IT WAS ALL PERFECT! We added an addtional splash of English mint sauce on our potatoes(not jam-I'll have to upload a recipe for it:
