Treat of the Week: Fabulous Filet and a Peach of a Pear Coffee Cake





This week my mother served up sheer steakhouse elegance. Perfectly grilled Filet Mignon, sliced and served with a light brandy sauce was accompanied by a side of creamy spinach casserole and topped with rounds of herbed compound butter. Savory cous-cous, like tender pearls bursting with flavor was joined by a gorgeous, colorful salad of miniature heirloom tomatoes, fresh herbs and mozzarella. A lovely, crusty ciabatta rounded out the feast. 












And, then, for dessert…an astoundingly moist and attractive coffee cake. This one, with layers of fresh pear, cinnamon, brown sugar and magnificently light cake was served with freshly whipped cream. 



Now, that is the way to do Sunday dinner!
