A Weeknight Meal Or A Special Occasion – You’ll Want To Have This Every Day Of The Week

Want to hear something funny? Until about two months ago, I had never even heard of cassoulet. If it doesn’t ring a bell for you, either, no need to worry. It’s only the best freakin’ meal ever! I am not kidding, it really is fabulous. I’m forever grateful to my friend for letting me know this awesome dish exists!

A cassoulet is a traditional French dish that contains beans and at least one kind of meat. You won’t be able to make it in 30 minutes, so if you’re looking for a super fast meal, you may want to save this recipe for later. But I guarantee; when you make this, it’s a meal you’ll never forget!

This recipe has quickly become my favorite. I’ve already made it twice; once for my family and another time for friends that were staying overnight. Everyone loved it!

Angel chicken was a concept I learned about when I was in Italy about 7 years ago. I was on a cruise through the Mediterranean for about 2 weeks and not only did we try foods from different cultures in the different countries, but the cruise also served food from the respective country we were at for the day. We had stopped in Florence and after a long day of exploring, made it back to the ship to shower and have dinner.

When we got to the table, our waiter offered us a new dish of angel chicken. I had no idea what that was, but since everything else did not appeal to me, I figured I would go with the new dish they were offering. When it got to the table, it was a delicious combination of white and pink sauce coating a bed of very thin angel hair spaghetti, then it had a chicken breast on top coated in the sauce as well with a very distinct Italian seasoning. It was really a very delicious and neat experience to have on that ship as their debut dish for the season. The dish was so good, as soon as I got home, it was the first meal I prepared.

Boy, steaks are really out-of-this-world awesome, done this way!  This Marinated Steak With Bourbon Cream Mushroom Sauce combines two great recipes to produce a dish that is undeniably restaurant-grade gourmet.  And once you have given the marinade some time to work its magic, it doesn’t take very long to cook.

I love a good steak now and then (who doesn’t?), love my creamy sauces, and occasionally like a nip of that brown liquor called bourbon (it is awesome in mint juleps, by the way).  This deliciousness combined all three, and it had been a while since I had any juicy beef, so how could I possibly resist?  I have to say, I was already expecting something good and got something even better…so much YUM! It won’t be long ’til I make these again for my family!
