Zo was sick on the couch and I was off to the store to by her list of requested items. I decided I would make her a get well meal and thought, "Man it has been a while since I cooked her up a mignon." www.Cookingforzo.com really takes our meals on twists and turns. I try not to cook too much of one kind of a meal for two long, even if we do have our favorites! Heck, Zo and I could eat Mexican and Italian every day! So I thought it would be nice to jump back and cook something we had not had in a while. Also mignons are one of the first non-vegetarian meal I ever made for Zo back when we first got together 3 1/2 years ago! I hope you enjoy this tasty mignon with someone you love!
