Jo's Rosemary Bread
This bread is amazing. Absolutely the best recipe I have made from this site - if there were more stars I would use them! The only change I make is to use the dough cycle on the bread machine, remove the dough and put it in a greased pan and bake in the oven at 350 for about 30-40 minutes. I like the crust better when it's cooked in a regular pan. I made this for a charity auction and it went for $9 per loaf!

Parmesan Chicken
This is easily the best chicken parm I have made. I did make the following adjustments: I used chicken tenders rather than breasts. I pounded them to tenderize and pulled out that white strip they always have (what is that?) which nicely sectioned off some chicken nuggets for my two year old. I didn't have seasoned bread crumbs so I put some whole grain saltines in the food processor along with parmigiano reggiano and some "pasta sprinkle" from Penzey's Spices. It's a blend of sweet basil, turkish oregano, thyme and garlic. I processed everything together until it was a light crumb consistency. I used the egg and crumb coating as described. Rather than pan frying, I put the chicken strips on a non-stick cookie sheet. Following a previous reviewer's advice, I lightly brushed the chicken with melted butter before baking at 425 degrees for about 30 mins. I did flip the chicken about 20 minutes in. It browned perfectly and came out with a crispy coating I've never gotten out of an oven baked chicken. I served it with the Tomato Basil Penne Pasta submitted by timbertiger on this site. I noted my changes to that recipe in the reviews. FANTASTIC meal!

Tomato Basil Penne Pasta
I really enjoyed this recipe! I made the following changes: Smart Taste Rotini instead of Penne, followed the directions on the box for cooking time. I used much less cheese than the recipe called for - about 1/2 a cup of mozz, a small amount of parm and added feta instead of the jack. It came out great. Next time I will add spinach for sure. I served it with the Parmesan Chicken recipe by Mollie Hall on this site (see my review there for my adjustments). FANTASTIC dinner - everyone in the family had seconds!
