______________________ february this month, cocoa is the ingredient of choice. I'm always amazed how chocolate plays a part in recipes. of course, there's the dessert--brownies, cakes, cookies. But, it is also the main element to many entrees', stews, and chili,s; and, the base to a wonderful dish featured in this month's recipe--beef medallions in rosemary sauce. serve this delectable dish with wild rice, or garlic mashed potatoes, steamed asparagus, or an easy salad. that's it...easy, elegant, and delicous! perfect for a romantic dinner on... Valentine's Day!
