A rich and airy chocolate mousse that is easy to make, and great for a dessert you can make a day ahead of time. Make sure to chill for a couple hours before serving.
My favorite vegetable soup -- love it with a little parmesan and pesto on top! I add a little shredded chicken for my meat lovers.
Moist and rich in flavor, this banana bread is great on its own, with a little butter on top, and even toasted. Make it plain, nutty or sweet (chocolate chips) but try it plain first because once you add the chocolate, it's hard to go back.
This creamy and light cheese cake is surprisingly easy to make; just make sure to hunt down the fresh cream cheese.
This vegetarian comfort meal is easy to make, especially if you can make the soffritto ahead of time.
This flourless chocolate cake is perfect to take to a party when you're bringing dessert -- always popular, easy to transport and gluten-free as well.

These healthy muffins taste great -- rich in flavor and even better with your favorite mix-ins.
