  1. I did strain the herbs before I added the butter. Really good!
     
  2. Very easy to make and tastes wonderful! Won't ever go back to making Bernaise any other way. Thanks!
     
  3. I served this over filet mignon the night my hubby proposed to me, need I say more? We don't eat steak at our house anymore without this served with it!

I hate to bake (almost as much as I hate to vacuum!), and I'll go to great lengths to avoid having to make cookies.
