'Heaven on a spoon' is how one friend describes this chocolaty dessert. My husband, Allen rates it best of all the special treats I've made. The filling can also be used for a pie.
Bananas are cooked in a bubbling pan of dark brown sugar, butter, rum and cinnamon and served over ice cream with walnuts in this elegant, quick dessert.
Chicken, green chilies, tomatoes and garlic are combined in chicken broth and lime juice seasoned with cumin and cilantro in this spicy soup served with fried flour tortilla strips and shredded jack cheese.

Toss this fruit salad together in minutes. Made with mangoes and berries tossed with cilantro and lime juice, the flavors in this salad go together wonderfully, and create a beautiful looking and delicious fruit salad that is truly refreshing.
