Filet Mignon with Rich Balsamic Glaze
This was an AWESOME recipe!!! Thanks to previous reviewers for the "resting" tip. Never heard that before. I also added 1 tsp. of brown sugar which really made the sauce (like suggested). I cooked the steaks in the pan like the recipe said and did add the wine and basalmic to the pan. Was a bit worried b/c the last two reviews said they didn't but it was phenomenal!! I also added pine nuts & will LOVE to use Gorgonzola once I'm not preggie!! WONDERFUL Valentine's dinner. We had it with green beans and roasted red potatoes with rosemary and garlic. DE-LISH!!! Oh! Also made the Parmesan puffs for an appetizer.

Parmesan Puffs
I had a go at these for Valentine's Day. I made them for an d'oeuvre and they weren't puffs but more like "cookies". I think it's b/c I added the flour too quickly to the milk/butter mixture resulting in lots of clumping. When I added the eggs I tried to de-clump the dough but I don't think it worked too well. I put in extra parm and also added pine nuts. They were good but I could definitely taste the flour clumps. I will be trying them again b/c of the rave reviews they got! My hubbie liked them too, but I want to LOVE them like everyone else! :0)

Breaded Center Cut Pork Chops
I'm giving the actual recipe a 3 but how I did it and thanks to the other reviews I'd give it a 5 instead. I also halved the recipe and STILL had too much egg and flour left. I actually did 1/2 cup flour and 2 eggs and had to dump the rest. I used about 1/2 cup of herb croutons that I crushed with a spoon, and used dry basil instead of the Italian seasoning (all I had) and put in 1/4 lemon juice and some lemon zest instead of the lemon pepper seasoning. I also browned the chops first in a pan but used the other 3/4 of the lemon to cook them in. SO good and very lemony! I made Parmesan mashed potatoes and spinach. My husband also gives my version a 5.
