Get Ready to Grill

May is National BBQ month. It is also the time of year that we honor the special ladies in our lives who have spent countless hours slaving over hot stoves to get dinner on the table.

Blue Cheese Crusted Filet Mignon with Sauce

Some people do not care for it, but personally, I love the taste of blue cheese.

What makes blue cheese blue is it has penicillium (a fungus) injected into it, giving it the blue-green mold look.
