One of my favorite things on my weekend is a big cappuccino made with almond milk in my special cup!

Fondue!
For Valentine's Day I decided to make my sweetheart a special fondue dinner. I usually do a cheese and chocolate fondue. I also do the oil fondue often, but this time I wanted to switch it up a little and do a broth based fondue.
The broth consisted of sauteed shallots and mirepoix, a sachet, red wine and beef stock. I simmered it for about an hour to let the flavors meld. I removed the sachet and transferred it to the fondue pot. I served it with par cooked vegetables and New York strip. It was really a nice change to have the court bouillon instead of oil. Much healthier too!

Dipping sauces I made were:
Sun dried tomato and sweet pepper
Creamy Monterrey, fresh herbs, and saffron
Spicy Asian miso ketchup
Blue cheese and bacon chive
Caper mustard aioli
Hoisin
