BLEND No.10 CREATIVE RECIPE

No matter how one changes socially, emotionally and spiritually throughout life, some things never do. I grew up with feasts rather than just food. There was always more food than needed. I still follow that tradition and cook more food than necessary and refrigerate the excess for other creations. This is my “Refrigerator Reserve” that allows me to have great fun and be creative inventing new dishes. I recently had a party where I served Double R Ranch filet mignon and this delicious recipe evolved from my “refrigerator reserve.” Enjoy!
