My cooking tragedies
I once worked very hard to make a fabulous chocolate torte, only to realize I had left out the melted chocolate! Ended up having to run out for more ingredients & bake an entire new cake.

Parmesan Chicken II
This was a hit with both my husband and my 2 year old, who swore she didn't like chicken but ended up asking for seconds. I halved the recipe, used 1/2 cup parmesan & 1/2 cup unflavored bread crumbs, mixed in garlic salt, garlic powder, italian seasoning, and a bit of pepper. Will definitely make again.

Lighter Banana Muffins
As I made them they were 3 stars, but to be fair I think one of my changes changed the flavor. I made them with my 2 year old. We used 1/2 white & 1/2 whole wheat. The whole wheat flavor was not well covered in this recipe. I also added vanilla & pumpkin pie spices,and a big spoonful of apple sauce. Wanted to do 1/2 a cup, but a spoonful was all that was left. The texture is good, and they rose well, but they are a little too sweet. I'd reduce the sugar, use all white flour, and add another banana next time. They worked well for a toddler, as they were not crumbly. Might make a good banana bread, too.

Easy Lemon Cookies
These are very good cake mix cookies. Very easy, too. Just don't expect bakery caliber, it is cake mix after all. I made them with my 2 year old during my son's nap and had no problem finishing them up in a short period of time. She loved rolling them in the powdered sugar. We got just under 40 smallish cookies. The batter is a little oily, but did not produce an oily cookie. I baked for about 10 minutes and the bottoms were brown, but not burned. We also keep them in a closed container. They stay on the softer side this way.
