If you have been reading my blog or following me on Instagram, you know that I love to create various bars and platters.  During the holiday season, recipes can become boring and mundane.  But I always like to spice up my entertaining and keep my guests impressed and surprised

Throughout the holiday season, I feel like I never have enough time when it comes to preparing dinner.  This season, I decided to create a simple yet sophisticated option which leads me to create the best filet mignon bar and all the necessary yummy accouterments to add to it.

I recently partnered with my friends at Blue Rhino Razor Griddle, and I can honestly say that I am obsessed with it. I have always loved the concept of griddles and cooking multiple things at the same time.  But Blue Rhino Razor is better than your traditional griddle. Cooking and clean up are easier with a front access grease cup.

The high-heat seat zones help you prepare restaurant-quality food. The rimless cooking surface works well for cooking a succulent steak with a minimal amount of oil because the heavy metal conducts heat so well. One of the best things about the Blue Rhino Razor Griddle is the fold-out tables for easy food prep.  Once finished, you’ll love the easy storage.
