I have a great family recipe for pickles peppers that are canned and very easy and wonderful. Will share that one soon. I'm headed to Texas this weekend to get Maeryn and bring her here for a week so it will be after that before I have time to play on the computer. The Chicken Parm looked great and I think I'm going to try it with gluten free products and see what I get. Have a great evening. Mar
