Chicken With Mushrooms
This is a very good basic recipe, but would probably be a little lacking in flavor if made as is. I browned the chicken in olive oil and garlic instead of butter, and reduced what was left in the frying pan with broth and white wine before pouring it over the chicken and mushrooms in the baking dish. The chicken was very moist and the sauce at the bottom of the dish was fantastic. I will definitely make this dish again. The cheese didn't seem to add much to the flavor, and I may omit it next time.

Beth's Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
This recipe makes a mighty fine oatmeal cookie. Excellent ratio of oatmeal to "regular" dough texture. For my batch, I reduced both the white and brown sugar by half, doubled the cinnamon because I didn't have cloves, doubled the vanilla, used dark chocolate covered raisins, and added walnuts. Very nice! I only baked for 9 minutes. I baked different sheets of dough at 11, 10, and 9 minutes, and the cookies that sat for 10+ minutes were very dry after cooling. The 9 minutes cookies stayed chewy. I will definitely try this again with cloves.

Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes
I would make this recipe again, but will probably try to flavor up the cheese sauce next time. This is a pretty bland dish if you make it as is, despite the large amount of onion it calls for. Like many other reviewers, I chopped my onions rather than leaving them in rings.
