As my most dedicated readers will know I am not a huge red meat eater, but when I do make steak I love a good Ribeye! I use thin cut to save on some calories and fat. Although I am sure that my husband would rather I buy some huge thick mammoth strip steak. Nawww not me I like just a little bit of it for protein and some great flavor that a ribeye has to offer. I am also obsessed with putting blue cheese on my steaks! Yumo! Because it was Tuesday, and we all know that Tuesday’s can be quite sexy around here I made this with a red wine reduction and mushrooms, and the all important blue cheese. To ramp up the special Tuesday night factor I also toasted some walnuts. This was one sexy Tuesday night dish!
I love a good glass of a rich deep red wine. Cabernet Sauvignon is my wine of choice. I miss my great California wine and all the fun we had wine tasting each and every weekend!!! No wonder I gained like 40 pounds when we lived there! So when I want to celebrate something as wonderful as a Tuesday Night and spend some much needed quality time with the hubby I broke out a bottle! (ok may this night we had 2…..) Hey a gal gets to splurge some of the time doesn’t she? I would love to share my recipe for a great sexy night for every Tuesday!!! First you have to make these Appetizers Orange Fig with Goat Cheese and Fig Balsamic vinegar, then The Main course and for dessert who can resist the Sexiest Chocolate Cake you have ever eaten?Seriously go to those recipes and you will never want Tuesday to be boring ever again!
Make any night special even a Tuesday!
