I was all set to post my recipe for French Toast today. There are two reasons why I've not, I need bread, and I have my heart set on making dinner for my husband. So tonight, I'm in the process of making Steak and Potatoes. Specifically, Steak in wine sauce, and red potatoes.
I obtained the recipes and configured some shortcuts into them.

*Verdict: Dinner was delicious. I think I used one clove too many for the potatoes, but it was still good though. Now for the garlic smell that has infiltrated my home....time to burn oils.
Thanks for this recipe, it looks and sounds delish!
