Lamb Chops with Balsamic Reduction
This really was fantastic! I used fresh basil and rosemary (I would have used fresh thyme but all I had was dried) and added fresh minced garlic with the scallions. The reduction was wonderful, as I love balsamic vinegar. I will probably double the sauce next time. The only problem I had was with the temperatures so I think I burned it a little, but my stovetop is rather tempermental and tends to be too hot so that is no fault of the recipe. I served this with homemade garlic mashed potatoes and a tossed salad. Next time there will definately be a good red wine. Yummy!! Thanks so much for sharing.

Chicken Stir-Fry
I forgot an ingredient (the chicken bouillon) and this was still excellent! I don't recommend omitting it. My purposeful modifications: I added a Tbsp of brown sugar and a Tbsp of Worcestershire sauce (per the suggestions of other reviewers) used lite soy sauce, jarred ginger and fresh garlic. I blended all of this together with the corn starch and water (reduced to 1/2 cup) to make a sauce. I added this after stir frying the chicken and vegetables. I used the veggies I had on hand: fresh red bell pepper, celery, carrot, onion and frozen broccoli. All in all, an excellent recipe to play with. My son(5) is gobbling it up as I type! Thanks for sharing!

French Toast II
Finally, I have found the french toast recipe I've been looking for! I used half of the nutmeg this recipe called for, used multigrain bread and dipped the bread in the egg mix fairly quickly, but I otherwise followed the directions. Hubby and 4-year-old made this french toast disappear with big smiles. Thanks so much for such a tasty breakfast!
