Banana Flip Cookies The cookies are delicious. Could use a little more banana flavor, but that's just a personal preference. The filling, however, was just kind of nasty. Maybe it's because I didn't use that creme yogurt, but I couldn't get it to come together and three cups of sugar makes it way too sweet, but any less and it's not stiff enough. I can't even imagine how sweet it might be with the filling and the dusting sugar. *shivers* If you want to fill the cookies, I suggest finding a good recipe for banana whoopie pie filling. Or just use marshmallow filling and chopped bananas. Again, the cookies are absolutely delicious, but stay away from the filling.

Balsamic Chicken Simple. Easy. Tasty. It's the perfect mid-week meal. The hardest part is zesting the lemon. Marinate the chicken the night before, and you have dinner ready in 20 minutes. My brother said that I could "make it again," which equals the highest praise.

Italian Chicken Bracciole The stuffing was delicious, no doubt about that, but the chicken thighs couldn't hold very much of it. The chicken itself ended up being a little bland. Easy enough to make, just be sure to budget yourself enough time. Looks and smells phenomenal.
