POINTS® value 2
Core Recipe
Servings 4
Preparation Time 12 min
Cooking Time 6 min
Level of Difficulty Easy
desserts Our coffee-cinnamon accented chocolate sauce is a delicious complement to grilled fruit. It makes a wonderful ending to special summertime meals.

Ingredients
1 sprays cooking spray
1 tsp decaffeinated instant coffee powder
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon, or to taste (optional)
2/3 oz fat-free sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix, use half a 1.4 oz package
1 1/2 cup fat-free skim milk
2 large banana(s), cut into a total of 12 chunks
12 medium strawberries, hulled

Instructions
Coat grid of grill with cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium.
Combine coffee powder, cinnamon, pudding mix and milk in a tall pitcher. Blend with a whisk or immersion blender until mixture is frothy; set aside. (The mixture will firm up as it stands.)
Alternately thread 3 banana chunks and 3 strawberries onto each of 4 metal skewers. Grill skewers, turning once, just long enough so that grill marks appear on fruit, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Remove fruit from skewers and divide among 4 plates. Top each serving with about 1/4 cup of chocolate sauce.
Notes
When you can't grill outdoors, consider broiling the fruit instead.You can vary the taste of the sauce by adding a few drops of rum extract in place of the coffee powder, if desired.

Sunday, May 14, 2006 Happy Mother's Day

I just wanted to wish everyone Happy Mother's Day. Regardless of whether your children are human, feline, canine, equine, avian, or any other species, if you're a mother you play an important role. Mothers nurture their children, keep them going, kiss the boo-boo's (whether they're physical, emotional, or spiritual) better, and generally make the world a better place. So do something nice for your mother today.

Happy Mother's Day!

After a car accident left her scarred, florist Ari Levington fulfilled her dream of traveling to Greece. A visit to an ancient shrine brings her innermost desires to the attention of the Greek God of healing Asclepius.

And the God hears. . .

No one visited Asclepius’ shrine any more. He’d given up on having worshippers, on having people bowing at his feet. But when the tearful pleas of a woman waken him, he knows it is his duty as the god of healing to give her what she needs.

She never imagined herself worthy of a God.

He never imagined he could be touched by love.

When two souls collide, it can be a beautiful thing.
