Iced Pumpkin Cookies
I don't really know if they are the best as it was my first attempt of Pumpkin Cookies... but they are so tasty and moist that I wouldn't change the recipe for an other one. Even my husband who really don't like pumpkin ate all his part and try to eat mine... I usually froze my pumpkin raw. I peel it and cut the flesh in cube. As we don't have canned pumpkin puree in France, I used my frozen cubes. I let them in the fridge all the night and then I microwaved them 9 min. I separated the flesh from the water (press the pumpkin well to extract all the water) and pureed the flesh in my blender. And it worked perfectly.

Parmesan Chicken
I've made this recipe for the first time yesterday. It was a hit! Healthy, moist and delicious! The taste was very good and here in France you know that we like cheese so it was perfect. I used garlic and olive oil seasonned bread crumbs. I put in the mixture more parmesan than bread and used frozen basilic instead or dry. As suggest in other reviews, I dipped in egg and crumbs mixture twice. And I bake it 30 minute in the oven. I served it with Tagliatelle and a tomato and basilic sauce.

Truck-Stop Buttermilk Pancakes
With this recipe, you could never failled! I used less fat milk and lemon instead of buttermilk and add also a tablespoon of flour. They were fluffy and delicious like always.
