Most of the time when I want a good filet mignon, I buy the whole loin and trim it up. When I do that I always make filet mignon burgers. We really love them because they are just so moist and juicy. Today I made them with a blackened seasoning for extra depth and flavor! The pairing with the Swiss cheese just took them over the top! I made them thin and doubled them up for extra seasoning surface!!! Continue reading

I was missing my excellent Grandmother again… (click to read a little more about Dorothy). She used to make Gołąbki for us sometimes. I’ll admit that as a youngster I was not a huge fan, but as an adult I’d really begun to appreciate it. She made the best ever Gołąbki. This is my slightly healthier version of hers… Continue reading
