Maple-Balsamic Vinaigrette
I used good quality ingredients and pure maple syrup. I did reduce the oil to 1/2 cup as it is way too much oil. I used 1/4 t. kosher salt and 1/4 t. black pepper. It really doesn't taste good with maple syrup--it has an "off" taste. With honey, it's easily 5 stars!

Shrimp Scampi V
This is excellent. I was hesitant, based on prior reviews, to add the full cup of wine so only added 1/2. I wish I had added the full cup--it would have been better! I used 1/4 cup margarine and 1/4 EVOO. I let everyone put their own cheese on. It did require more freshly group black pepper--a lot more. And I probably doubled the garlic--I didn't measure but did use at least a heaping tablespoon of chopped garlic along with a sprinkle of garlic powder. Tasty!

Quick and Easy Chicken
Yummy! I doubled all ingredients except for the sugar and I didn't add black pepper. Rather, I let people add red pepper flakes as they liked. Very quick, very easy, very good! I used almost a pound of chicken tenders and did add 1 can mushrooms, drained. This sauce would go well as a sweet and sour sauce.
