    Who does not love a filet! This looks fabulous. This is what I make my husband when I want some new jewelry or furniture or a Viking range!

    That looks HEAVENLY Teresa!! I may get ambitious and make that for the family tomorrow...something I know they would all love. Just add yummy mashed potatos, crusty bread and a vegetable and I think that might be the perfect meal! Enjoy your weekend!!
