You all know that I am quickly and steadfastly becoming the chef of my dreams....right? {cough, cough, wink, wink}Seriously though.....I made some quality filet mignon this week! Filet mignon with cabernet cremini sauce to be exact...and it was so delicious! I think I surprised my entire family...and most certainly myself.....when this dish turned out. I was a nervous wreck because...well...filets are not exactly cheap, and ruining them meant no dinner and a waste of valuable dollars. I wanted so badly for everything to work, and thankfully it did. I followed this recipe by In sock monkey slippers. I can't say enough about how delicious this recipe is...so if you like a good steak.....don't just take my word for it.....try it!I of course used my new pot, and I served asparagus, rolls, salad, and garlic mashed "potatoes" {cauliflower.....I thought it was not possible...but it is!}.....and I got my filets at Trader Joes. I love Trader Joes.Bon apetite!p.s. I did leave out the mushrooms again....:}xo,Barb
