Cornish Game Hens with Garlic and Rosemary
Wow. Just wow. This was amazing. I had picked up Cornish game hens on sale and had no idea what to do with them. I can't imagine a better way to cook them. They were crispy skinned and very juicy and tender. The pan drippings made one amazing gravy and the roasted garlic was so good both on its own and mashed into the gravy. I used a semi-dry Riesling and roasted garlic chicken broth. I used only two hens but kept everything else the same (more gravy this way) except for using dry rosemary instead of fresh since that is what I had on hand. Served with garlic mashed potatoes and salad. This was an easy and very tasty dinner.

Heavenly Chocolate Mousse
This was my first time ever making my own whipped cream as well as chocolate mousse. Complete success. I followed the directions exactly and it came out wonderfully. Next time I might add just a little vanilla extract and sugar to the whipping cream before whipping, just to sweeten it up a touch. Made this for a dinner and a movie night with another couple and it was great. I'm going to have to make it again soon. Maybe with strawberry or raspberry syrup drizzled on top. Thanks for an easy and great recipe.

Golden Sweet Cornbread
I made this last night to accompany a Southwestern style black bean soup for a group of friends that were coming over. It was the perfect accompaniment. Everyone loved it and the pan was soon wiped clean. This has the perfect amount of sweetness in a cornbread. It had beautiful color and texture and the flavor was spot on. I don't know how often I'll buy the package mix now that I have this recipe. Really easy to bring together and done from start to eating in 25 minutes. You can't ask for better or faster.
