The meal turned out fabulous!! The steaks were excellent and the kids kept saying how great they were throughout the meal. The LOVED the grilled Caesar salad - as did I. Definitely doing that one again. I cooked up the marinade once the steaks were out of it, and they really enjoyed it with the steak. They also really liked the asparagus grilled and I grilled a red pepper, quartered, to add a bit of color to the meal.

I just bought the profiteroles but I have made cream puffs in the past... it's the same thing only smaller. I will have to dig the recipe for the dough out of my stash when I finally get all of my stuff out of storage one of these months. I made raspberry sauce out of seedless raspberry jelly - just heated the contents of a small jar with about 3 Tbsp of water until it was all blended and then let it cool. I drizzled that and chocolate syrup over them all piled up on a platter and then let them dig in.


Just putting in time until the next vacation.
