Asparagus and Mozzarella Chicken BundlesYou can use chicken breast halves instead of thighs but I just happen to prefer dark meat. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Pound each chicken thigh to about 1/4 inch thickness. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper to taste.

Grilled Bananas with Ice CreamI haven't tried making these using the broiler yet, but I can't imagine they wouldn't be as good cooked that way during non-grilling months too. Halve each of the bananas lengthwise and then width-wise. Sprinkle bananas with lemon juice.

Chocolate MousseI found this recipe on the inside of a Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate wrapper and decided to make it. It is most definitely replacing the recipe I've always used before! It's a lot of work but if you want to have a truly luscious treat you simply must try it.
