I have been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from my original cookbook which many of you have. I'm also going to be adding pictures as I retest many of these recipes. They aren't the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. They're comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Dark Chocolate Tarts

15 mini phyllo shells, thawed if frozen
1/4 cup low fat milk
1 tsp. butter
3 1/2 oz. 60-69% dark chocolate, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. coarse sea salt (or to taste) - optional
5 Tbsp. fat-free whipped topping or whipped cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Place phyllo shells on a sheet pan or in mini-muffin pan and heat until lightly crisp, about 5 minutes.  Meanwhile in a small saucepan over high heat, heat milk and butter, stirring occasionally until milk boils and butter melts.  Reduce heat to low; stir in chocolate and vanilla extract until combined.  Let chocolate mixture cool slightly, about 2 to 3 minutes; evenly divide among cooked phyllo shells.  Sprinkle tarts with sea salt if you wish.  Chill until filling sets, about 10 minutes.  Top each tart with 1 tsp. whipped cream before serving.
