<\/p>\nHey Foodies!<\/b> I made a gourmet dinner last night for Valentine’s Day<\/b> and I wanted to share what I made with you!
\nThis is what was on the menu<\/b> last night….<\/p>\n
1. Filet mignon<\/b> wrapped in apple smoked bacon<\/b> and marinaded in sweet mesquite sauce with a classic Bearnaise sauce.<\/b><\/p>\n
2. Parmesan and cheddar stuffed mushrooms<\/b>.<\/p>\n
2. Maple glazed carrots<\/b>.<\/p>\n
4. Garlic butter smashed potatoes.<\/b><\/p>\n
5. Cheddar biscuits.<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Making this meal was actually easy…despite the smoke alarm going off 20 times! My boyfriend’s oven is from like 1975 and so is the smoke alarm! I was using oven mits trying to cool off the alarm every 10 minutes. Not cool!<\/p>\n
For the steak,<\/b> all I did was use tooth picks to hold the bacon in place. I marinated the steak over night in a plastic bag. I broiled the steak<\/b> for about 5 minutes on each side. Then presto! It’s done.<\/p>\n
For the Bearnaise sauce<\/b>, I bought a packet. I needed to combine, butter and milk. I also threw in some yellow and red peppers <\/b>so it looked pretty!<\/p>\n
The mushroom<\/b> was a piece of cake…well not literally. I combined 1.5 cups of breadcrumbs, with 1\/4 cups Parmesan cheese and 1\/4 cups cheddar cheese<\/b>. A pinch of salt and pepper.<\/b> I baked them in the oven on 450 for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n
For the carrots<\/b> I seasoned them with salt and pepper.<\/b> I warmed up 1 tbs of butter<\/b> and drizzled it over the carrots. I also drizzled maple syrup over the carrots. Baked in the oven for 15 minutes on 450. <\/b><\/p>\n
Cheddar biscuits<\/b> were a breeze. I bought a jiffy pre-made mixture and grated cheddar cheese into it. All you need to do is add water. I baked those in the oven on 450 for 11 minutes. <\/b><\/p>\n
To make the smashed potatoes, <\/b>I cut them into quarters and boiled them with skins on until soft. I put them in the mixer and combined 1\/2 cup milk, 1\/4 cup sour cream, 3 tbs of butter and salt and pepper to taste.<\/b> I had fresh minced garlic <\/b>and just threw it in there….didn’t measure. But I didn’t put a lot. Mix it all together and voila!<\/p>\n
That was my Valentine’s Day meal and if I do say so myself…it was a major hit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
