Got pork chops and a bunch of apples in my Imperfect Produce box so dinner was pan fried chops with sauteed apples and cabbage. The pork could have used a bit more seasoning but otherwise, was pretty good. DH is not a big cabbage fan, but he said it was good.

We finally cooked a decent meal: DH sous vided and roasted a sirloin tip roast, while I made dilled creamy cucumber salad, root veg fries, and buttered asparagus.
Is sirloin tip the same as tri-tip?

That meat is cooked perfectly

Thanks! Even the toddler ate some, and he’s sensitive to meat textures. Overnight sous vide would have been even better.
Grilled chicken breast, grilled balsamic marinated zucchini, provolone. All I was missing was roasted red peppers.

Being that I am a Minnesotan Scandinavian, I had to make waffles tonight since it was Waffle Day in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Added bacon as a side (because everything is better with bacon), toppings were lingonberries, homemade sour cream, and our own maple syrup. Truth was I wanted to pull out the heart-shaped waffle iron and make something for my Dad that reminded him of his Scandinavian roots.
Anyone else celebrate Waffle Day?

I have a sous vide but hardly ever use it. Your steak has inspired me. I am going to have to play with it while I have some extra time.

“Is sirloin tip the same as tri-tip?”
I had a similar question!
Tri-tip weighs 3-8 ounces? Not here!
One more…With pictures!

It’s really great for repurposing leftovers.

Thank you! I thought it was some type of round. Not my favorite taste or texture. I have some creative uses for leftovers tonight though!
Finding it hard to have a normal routine having been indefinitely displaced from home…
Lots of cooking, though not very organized.
Some recent meals:
Dal dhokli - lentils with noodles - comfort food. Ghee, peanuts, onions on top and buttermilk on the side.
.
Porchetta-spiced pork chops with polenta and mushrooms.
.
Chicken bihari kababs (that I didn’t take a pic of, and which might have been my best work yet) repurposed into kathi rolls (tortilla instead of paratha, egg, spices, garnishes) with leftover indian vegetables - cauliflower and green beans. Kathi rolls were spot-on, which was a pleasant surprise because they rarely taste as good at home as the junky takeout version.
.
Adapted Chrissy Teigen’s carrot soup - lemongrass, shallots, carrots, plus some leftover roasted butternut squash and some red lentils for protein.
.
.
Batch prep of pork chops - marinated in a few different ways - vietnamese, spanish, mexican, and another round of porchetta seasoning - before freezing.
.
Will do something similar for a couple of packages of chicken. Probably kababs because those turn out so well and repurpose beautifully, and vietnamese because I made extra marinade.
