Vanilla Crepes
I came onto allrecipes and this was the front page. I immediately had a craving for crepes and decided why not! I followed other's suggestions and sifted the flour and had no issues with lumps, increased the milk to 1 3/4 cups to make the batter thinner, and I used 4 tablespoons of butter and had no issues with them coming out greasy. They came out very tasty, served with butter and powdered sugar, vermont maple syrup, fresh musk melon and baked ham. I was pretty satisfied!

Chicken Piccata II
I have been looking to recreate chicken piccata, and under the influence of all the positive ratings i followed suit. I now make it all the time, using this recipe. It's easy and wonderful. In terms of change, mine are minimal- I do as other reviewers have suggested and pound the chicken thin, then coat in egg and flour twice. Very good. I add extra lemon but that's my own personal obsession! I love it.

Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast
I was told about this recipe from a coworker about two years ago and I absolutely love it. It is wonderful. I first followed the recipe exactly, but I now make it following previous suggestions with just one can of water and one can of the mushroom soup and the dry onion packet, and it is still awesome. I add chopped carrots, potatoes, pearl onions, and chopped celery - yum!
