I recently had a grilled steak salad at a restaurant and was reminded how yummy they are. I made this recipe a long time ago and really liked it. If you're in the mood for a great grilled steak salad give this recipe a try. For a fun variation, try adding ricotta salata in place of the parmesan.

Savory, crunchy, fragrant, and refreshing-with all these things going for it, you really should give this easy summer entree a try. Lettuce leaves stand in for tortillas, which should please the dieters at your table; and the fact that the guests assemble their own wraps makes this recipe easy on the cook. The filling is served at room temperature, which encourages leisurely dining; and since each wrap contains chicken, rice, veggies, and fruit, you can afford to spend a little more time (and calories) on dessert. I served each guest a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt sandwiched between 2 homemade chocolate chip cookies laced with pecans and coconut...yum. (Wrap each ice cream sandwich individually in plastic wrap, and they can be kept frozen for at least 1 week.)

Wow! Easy and fast without compromising taste. The portion size is perfect for after dinner dessert. Nutella is easy to find and usually shares the shelf with peanut butter in the supermarket. I used Frangelico as the hazelnut liqueur and added a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and a few chocolate shavings to please the eye. I'll do this one again. I gave it five stars because it was easy, fast and tasted like it took all day.

Just when you thought you couldn't face one more zucchini...here's a healthy recipe masquerading as junk food. Crispy, oven-fried chips with a cheesy exterior-what's not to like? If you have little hands roaming through the kitchen, definitely get them involved in assembling these-and you can bet there will be no arguments at dinner over finishing their veggies. Most commercially-made dry breadcrumbs taste like sawdust, so I like to use Japanese breadcrumbs, called panko, that are usually found alongside other packaged Asian foods in the supermarket. You can coat the zucchini with beaten egg white (instead of milk) before breading. It's a little more trouble, perhaps, but definitely worth trying.
