Dinner at home tonight was quite exquisite! Friends Nick and John brought filet mignon steaks purchased at Joseph's Classic Market in Boca Raton as the basis for this amazing meal. They were some of the best steaks I've eaten. We had a caprese salad to start our meal with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and basil, a simple but great salad. The main meal featured the steaks, shrimp on skewers, baked potatoes and asparagus! We had butter, sour cream and chives for the potatoes and complemented the main meal with Sister Schubert's Hawaiian sweet rolls. There are several varieties of Sister Schubert's which can be found in the freezer section at the grocery store. These rolls are just about the closest thing to homemade around.
Dessert was homemade peach cobbler with vanilla and/or rum raisin ice cream to top off a delicious meal with great friends,

Big Pine Key Restaurant
In the Keys again for a short vacation and thought we needed to blog the weekend's food experiences. It has been way too long since we posted. We always enjoy eating at the Big Pine Key Resraurant and this time was exceptional as always. We stopped in for breakfast this morning. Our server was excellent and quite attentive to our needs. I always appreciate it when restaurant staff are willing to give you want and don't have to stick to a rigid menu. We both wanted iced coffee, not too difficult to find a way to make that happen and sshe did. Just coffee poured over ice but it hit the spot quite nicely!
I ordered a spinach and swiss omelet with added ham. Sides were grits and white toast. I loved the fact that I tasted ham, spinach and cheese from the first bite. It was a simple meal and quite delicious! Carol ordered the corned beef hash with two over easy eggs on top. Sides were biscuits and tomato slices. She says it was excellent.! The eggs were served right on top of the corned beef which is great if you like to mix it in . The hash was crusty on top and had a smokey taste to it. The biscuit was not even warm, which was a disappointment.
Though the waitress did not bring straws with our coffe, she still gets a four straw rating as she was there to ask if I wanted a refill when I was ready to ask for one. Wait staff at this restaurant are always pleasant and attentive.
Always inexpensive and always great food, this is a restaurant you will not want to miss on your next visit to the Keys! We've been here for every meal at one time or another and have always found it a great experience.
