Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.


If you're in the mood for a hearty, yet sophisticated meal, look no further than Olive Garden's beef filets in balsamic sauce. Tender slices of beef are grilled to perfection and smothered in a rich, flavorful balsamic sauce.


4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
1 yellow onion, medium and sliced thin
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup marsala wine
1/2 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
6 beef tenderloin filets (6 ounce size)
1 dash parsley, finely chopped
6 fresh rosemary sprigs
SAUCE: Heat oil and butter in large saute pan over medium heat. Add sliced onions, salt, and pepper; cook 10 minutes or until caramelized (softened and golden browned), stirring frequently.
Add wines, broth, vinegar and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until sauce is reduced by half.
BEEF: Lightly rub filets with oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill to preferred temperature. Place onions and sauce on a platter and top with steaks. Garnish with parsley and rosemary.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
