My cooking triumphs
Pam baked a gluten-free, sugar-free, low-fat cheesecake for Christmas.

We still cannot get good, soft, whole grain bread out of our bread machine. Its always hard as a rock.

Herb Rubbed Sirloin Tip Roast
Awesome! In place of the cayenne I used a sweet chili steak seasoning. I reduced the salt to 1/2 teaspoon of table salt because the seasoning already had some salt in it. Halfway through cooking I turned the roast and added balsamic vinegar to the bottom of the roasting pan I used. The drippings made a really nice sauce for on top of the meat and the veggies. This seasoning mix would go nice on barbecued steaks, too. Thanks!

Chicken Breasts Pierre
I used red wine in place of water, Splenda in place of the brown sugar and canned tomatoes with hot peppers so I didn't add the hot sauce. I did not add the vinegar or celery powder because I didn't have any. The recipe was a great hit. I think the sauce would be good with a wide variety of meat. Thank you, its a keeper!

Weeknight Pork Chops
Yummy! As others suggested, I doubled the sauce. I also chose to bake the chops in the oven to finish with the sauce poured over them. Keeping the baking dish covered was a mistake because the sauce ended up soupy. Next time I'll either finish in the frying pan or uncovered in the oven. Very good served with panfried kale with the sauce poured over both.
