This is a family blog, so don’t get too excited.
People Magazine’s 2007 Sexiest Man Alive issue featured Bravo TV’s Tom Colicchio from their reality show “Top Chef.”
He has some funky ideas about what is sexy. But I will have to agree with his number one pick.

Do you like a touch of mustard? Do you like wine? You’ll love this one then.
Stay inside with this recipe. And impress your guests by cooking with red wine!
Pan Seared Filet with Red Wine Mustard Sauce
(serves four)
4 6oz. Filet Mignon
1 Tablespoon neutral Oil such as Canola or Safflower
1 Cup Red Wine
1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 Tablespoons cold butter cut into six pieces
Salt and Pepper
Season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper and sear filet in a hot pan with the oil to desired doneness. Remove steaks and set to rest. To the pan add the red wine and reduce until about 1 tablespoon remains or the pan is almost dry. Remove the pan from heat and whisk in mustard and Worcestershire until creamy. Whisk in the cold butter one piece at a time until melted and the sauce has a smooth consistency. Serve steaks with a teaspoon of sauce on each plate.
Did you “spring forward” this weekend?
I did. Only I forgot to spring forward this morning when it was time to get my kindergartner up for school. He was 10 minutes late.
Mom of the year.
I really, really want it to be spring. But all this snow that keeps covering my world is bringing me down.
I ordered some steakburgers last week to officially kick off spring grilling season. Even if it’s not quite time for short-sleeved tees and capri pants. (Are those still in style? I feel like I’ve been buried under an avalanche for 5 years.)
My steakburgers arrived on Friday and I did something a little different this time. I ordered the tried-and-true classic steakburgers, but also some sweet Vidalia onion steakburgers.
I like that oniony flavor and I’m excited to try these out.
My plan is to blast “Here Comes the Sun” by the Beatles up into the sky until it starts to brighten up. Then, I’m gonna slip on my capris, grill me up some steakburgers and enjoy my meal on my patio furniture.
I might have to wear my parka while I’m doing all this, but I’m going to think positive.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes . . .
Hi! My name is Dena P., and I love steak. In fact, I’ve been on a quest for the perfect steak for a few years now.
I love experimenting with food and I like to get my family, friends and neighbors involved. They add a lot to my cooking experience by helping me perfect techniques and sharing recipes.
