WLM - food for thought

The holidays are right around the corner!

This year we are serving an old family favorite instead of the traditional ham or turkey. Rosemary beef tenderloin is a simple and flavorful preparation. Not only does this recipe taste amazing, but the leftovers are perfect for serving on biscuits or rolls the next morning. Roasted brussels sprouts are another family favorite. Even our pickiest eaters love this recipe. Enjoy!
