Recipe of the Week

Flourless Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream and Raspberries

Flourless Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream and Raspberries


Diet, Schmiet. Some foods are worth breaking New Year's Resolutions - and this cake definitely fits the bill. Delicious, decadent, and drop-dead gorgeous, this cake is one of my favorite go-to recipes whenever I need the perfect finale for a celebratory meal.





Grilled Parmesan Bread

This recipe is part of Linda Larsen's Presentation Packets article.

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 loaf French bread

Combine butter and cheese. Slice bread into 1" slices and spread with butter mixture. Arrange back into loaf shape and wrap securely with heavy-duty foil. Place loaf on grill 4-6 inches from medium low coals (I place this on the side of the grill while the packets are cooking). Heat 10-20 minutes until butter mixture is melted.

Serves 12
