Mimi's Smoked Salmon Chowder
I made this with homemade smoked whitefish instead of salmon. I didn't have any half-and-half, and substituted an equal amount of 2% evaporated milk which worked perfectly. If you are using a milder fish (we used pollack), I'd change the seasonings a bit. The herbs overpower the fish. Next time, I'll cut out the dill and tarragon.

Chicken In Sour Cream
This was great. Even my picky 7yo liked the chicken! The sauce was creamy and tangy without being overwhelming. The dill gave it a special taste. I made it exactly as written, except I didn't add any extra salt to the chicken (the onion soup mix and condensed soup have enough). I used the whole packet of onion soup mix and didn't think the dish was too salty. And I added thinly sliced red potatoes to the dish for the entire baking time. I used cream of celery soup, but I think any soup would work.

Banana Crumb Muffins
These were an excellent use of some old bananas. To keep them moister for longer, I used vegetable oil instead of butter (same quantity). Also I only had 2 bananas, so used those plus a small snack-size cup of unsweetened applesauce. Per other reviewers, used a mix of 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar, and added 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp nutmeg and 3/4 tsp cinnamon. Great spicy, banana flavor!
