Lemon Chicken Piccata
This recipe was delicious with some modifications. I gave it 5 stars because I think it would have been good without the modifications too... I just never cook exactly by any recipe. Here is what I did differently... I pounded out the chicken but did not cut it in medallions. I pan fried it in a cast iron skillet using olive oil instead of vegetable oil. After the chicken, I wiped out the pan and added a little more olive oil and some margarine (I have a dairy allergic person in my family so no butter). I added 2 cloves of garlic then a 1/2 lb of thinly sliced baby portabella mushrooms. After the mushrooms released their juices, I added the liquid. I used 2 cups of good chicken stock plus 1/2 cup of a reisling. I also double the lemon juice and left out the lemon slices. I zested one lemon into the sauce and saved the lemon slices for plate garnish. When correcting seasoning at the end, I added a generous amount of sea salt and fresh cracked pepper and a pinch of raw sugar. I served the chicken with the extra sauce over mini bow tie pasta. All three of my kids ate this and my husband gave it a thumbs up and I loved it. I would definitely make this one again!

Roasted Garlic Lemon Broccoli
I followed the instructions to the letter except I used Kosher salt instead of sea salt. It was WAY too salty, the garlic was overly browned and bitter and the broccoli itself was tough. We're big broccoli eaters at our house (2-3X/week for dinner) and everyone gave it a thumbs down. :( If you want a great oven roasted veggie recipe, check out oven roasted cauliflower -- it has rosemary in it and is absolutely delish!

Oven Brown Rice
This recipe was BBBBBBoring! We tried it using other reviewer's suggestions to use low sodium broth and reduced the amount of salt. It tasted no different then when I make instant brown rice with chicken broth and took a lot longer to get on the table. Other than the non-instant brown rice being less expensive, I don't see any advantage to using this recipe.
