Please Pass the Beef Wellington!!!

Anyone ever heard of Beef Wellington before? Well I became very well acquainted with the delicious entree this weekend! Remember this? Well we have not given up yet and this weekend we decided to go big or go home! Since Valentines day is just around the corner, we wanted to make a special meal for the men in our lives and special it was indeed!

So apparently Beef Wellington is this really fancy and hard meal to pull off but if you ask any one of the guys they will tell you with three thumbs up that we certainly pulled this one off! Amy and Emily came over Saturday afternoon so we could shop together for the meat and other ingredients! Upon our arrival home and with the help of Emily's sister Katie all four of us gals got to work in the kitchen! We chopped and sauteed! We baked and we whisked! We experimented and we succeeded! We laughed and we cried (well Katie cried when she chopped up the onion)! All in all, my kitchen became quite the little cooking show!

Needless to say, the end result was AMAZING! I think all four of us were super proud and the boy's tummies were satisfied! You know when everyone goes back for seconds and no fast food runs are made that the attempt was a success! See for yourself!



Pretty much I am just so glad that I have girls who are willing to attempt new recipes with me because I know I could not do it alone! Thanks Emily and Amy!

P.S. We were pleasantly surprised with the bonding that occurred between Broc and Adam! Not only are both their parents high school sweethearts but they both are motivated to get up in the morning by Cocoa Puffs! Oh and did I mention they have the same birthday?!? I know! I told them they need to be best friends already! :)
