4. Recipes Of
The
Week |
Herbed Standing Rib Roast is a family favorite and a holiday tradition. Prime Rib with horseradish sauce and Yorkshire pudding puffs is the traditional Christmas Dinner at our house. It is an elegant dinner that does not require a lot of kitchen time! Everyone can enjoy the holidays with this fabulous entree!
Veal in wine sauce is a perfect entree for a dinner party. It is a combination of tender veal, mozzarella cheese, mushrooms and onions smothered in a tangy vermouth and lemon sauce.
Fajitas are a family favorite. We grill the flank steak outside, in the summer and the slice it after it is grilled. In the wintertime, we just sauté as directed.
Flambé Pepper Steak is an impressive fun meal to serve for company. It is actually a recipe Lois got from the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs.

6. Quote of the Week |
|
Human beings seldom step outside of themselves
to really grasp the needs and fears of others. We often project our
own thoughts and beliefs upon strangers, and make judgments based
upon how we think they 'should' be living their lives. If only we
could experience a few moments inside the feelings of another
person, the world would be a much more compassionate and benevolent
place. |
