Top 3 Meals


Calling all those steak fanatics out there. Now is your time to shine. Filet Mignon sounds fancy and tastes wonderful. The steak will most likely taste even better because it was seasoned and cooked at the source of your own hands. Filet Mignon doesn't take very long to prepare and cook. It also tastes so good if done right. Make sure to add in some killer sides with it like a loaded baked potato and some baked asparagus.

Oh come on! This is s delicious dish and isn't all that complex to make. Some might say to go with Lady and The Tramp and produce a dish of spaghetti and meatballs for your lover. That's not a bad idea, but lasagna is better. That is our opinion at least. Also, make sure to throw in a side salad, which is very easy to throw together. If you want some extra carbs and a tasty treat to soak up some marinara sauce then make sure to bake some garlic bread.

This one is for the folks that enjoy fish. Even those that don't, you may want to give this a try because it's that good. The amount of flavor if done right can really set your taste buds on fire and steal the show. It's healthy and can be displayed to a T. Don't forget to cut up some seasoned potatoes and a green of your choice.

Note: Make sure to provide the perfect refreshments and desserts to make it the real-deal!
