Filet Mignon
Please add a simple recipe for filet mignon.
--Joan
Hi Joan! I don’t have a simple recipe that is specifically for filet mignon, also called beef tenderloin. However, my Pan-Seared Rib Eyes is a terrific, no-fuss recipe that is just what you’re looking for. Just substitute 4 filet mignon for the rib eyes. They should cook in about the same amount of time, but will take a little longer if they are thicker than 1 inch. Enjoy!

Question
Can you use olive oil for baking and have the same results? I used extra virgin olive oil in a cornbread recipe and it didn't hold together and the flavor was not there.

QuestionI've heard that you can prepare sweet potatoes and all side dishes ahead and then freeze them. If this is done, then how do you prepare them so they're not overcooked on Thanksgiving, i.e., dressing, sweet potatoes, casseroles, etc? --PattyMarch 2012

QuestionBetty, Do you have a recipe for a Bing cherry pie? As a young girl I remember having one at Traverse City, MI. It included the whole berries and had a delightful glaze, with whipped cream on top. I can still almost taste it, but haven’t been able to duplicate it. Thanks, JanetteMarch 2012
