Filet Mignon....

Tried a new recipe tonight, but did not fair well. (To much Balsamic Vinigar)

Here's the recipe if you want to give it a go:

Filet Mignon with Rich Balsamic Glaze

  • 2 (4 ounce) filet mignon steaks

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • salt to taste

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

  • 1/4 cup dry red wine

  • Directions

    1. Sprinkle freshly ground pepper over both sides of each steak, and sprinkle with salt to taste.
    2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place steaks in hot pan, and cook for 1 minute on each side, or until browned. Reduce heat to medium-low, and add balsamic vinegar and red wine. Cover, and cook for 4 minutes on each side, basting with sauce when you turn the meat over.
    3. Remove steaks to two warmed plates, spoon one tablespoon of glaze over each, and serve immediately.

    Childrens' bed time stories

    The best time to connect with your child is through play time and through reading books to them. Here's a few pics of books we read and go through.

    My son is learning to count money and is thrilled whenever we go shopping because he likes to review the store receipts.

    Groundhog day storm

    What a day/storm!! Montreal got hit but not as hard as I thought it would. The children and I played well. With my boy we turned his Thomas the Train track into a F1 track, he's so into the Formula 1, and we used his matchbox cars to race around it.
    My girl is getting better @ puzzles and loves playing with Mommy.
    Tonight's bed time story was this book below.
