Filet Mignon with Red Wine Boysenberry Reduction and Fried Goat Cheese Rounds
I have got a fancy and delicious recipe for you guys, courtesy of the samples I received from Certified Steak & Seafood Company. If you missed the other one I posted, go check out the Chilean Sea Bass with Orange Mango White Wine Reduction.
For those of you that may not be goat cheese fans, this filet mignon is delicious if you skip making the fried goat cheese rounds, but I loved the contrast of the sweet berry sauce and the tangy goat cheese.
The quality of the meat was superb. This is a dish that you have to watch closely. If you are not familiar with filet mignon, you definitely do not want to overcook it and have it be grey in the middle. Here is a great article that should help you decide what temperature to cook your filet mignon. Remember that it will continue to cook even after you take it off the stovetop. My pieces were about two inches thick so remember that if you have a different thickness of meat that you may need to adjust your cooking time.

Creme Brulee French Toast
This Christmas morning I baked up a pan of these delicious Creme Brulee French Toast that I found at Channeling Contessa. They are sweet and decadent. You can use whatever type of bread you prefer, but I went with a thinly sliced cinnamon swirl bread.
Since these are so sweet, be sure to have savory items to serve with it. We went with cheesy scrambled eggs and bacon. Enjoy!

Chilean Sea Bass with Orange Mango White Wine Reduction
I got an opportunity to sample these goodies from Certified Steak & Seafood Company. I haven't cooked a ton of Sea Bass before but it ended up to be pretty simple. The quality of the fillets I got was fantastic. I have to say I haven't made a dinner that I enjoyed this much in quite some time.
Onto the recipe! For the sea bass I thought going the citrus route would compliment it well, and I was right. I reduced an orange mango juice blend down to almost nothing so the flavors were very potent, then added butter and whisked it in to create a velvety smooth sauce. Delicious.

Cranberry Pineapple Punch
This recipe for Cranberry Pineapple Punch from Cafe Zupas was a big hit at our Christmas party. It has just the right amounts of tartness, sweetness and fizz. I used an ice tray like this one and cut lemon and orange slices to freeze inside of the ice cubes. You could also make an ice ring and fill it with citrus slices and float it in the punch bowl. Enjoy!
