Enjoy this decadent side dish of Brussels sprouts warm (mixed with blue cheese, walnut and dried cranberries), or chop up the leftovers and serve them over greens for a cold {sweet & savory} salad. And yes, Brussels sprouts can be decadent.
These individually-wrapped filet mignons work well for holiday entertaining and dinner parties. And the fancy little filets enveloped in puff pastry {definitely rich comfort food!} are perfect for sharing with your Valentine, too!
This trendy salad is easy to make at home and can turn a normal meal into something a little bit more gourmet. Even if you're not a blue cheese fan the combo of apples and/or pears and nuts is refreshing and can be paired with many other cheeses.
This simple hors d'oeuvre is a crowd-pleaser and very easy to make. With the health benefits of grapes and walnuts, it was a perfect addition to my Tapas For a Cure menu.
I submitted this steak recipe to the Beringer Great Steak Competition. One of the criteria is that the steak has to be prepared and plated in 30 minutes. Following the guidelines of the competition, I paired the steak with the Beringer Founder's Estate Merlot.
This recipe comes from Food Network, courtesy of Brian Boitano. But we baked the chicken instead of frying it. The nuggets still have the crunch of fried chicken but it tastes lighter.
This cheese ball is a SPICY and addictive cheese spread. Use the peppers of your choice to make this cheese dip as spicy as you'd like. For a red-hot spread, be sure to try the habaƱero pepper version.
This rich steak dish goes well with roasted red potatoes but would be suitable with any other vegetables or starches.
