Meredith made Ham and Cheese Pinwheels from Well Plated (LOCAL). She really just followed the recipe. It was pretty easy. The only thing is you do not get 48 from that. Meredith got about half

Standard Lemon Garlic Shrimp but without crushed red pepper since Caroline was going to eat it. I made a 2 lbs batch. I was nervous since last time I made a big batch, it wasn't as good. But this time I still made sure to carefully lay them all out and I think that helped.

I made our pretty standard lasagna soup without many changes. The only real thing I did was to use an extra can of tomatoes and I went heavy on the peppers. I also skipped anything spicy so we could give it to Caroline

We had a date-night dinner. The main thing was bacon-wrapped filet mignon we got from Kansas City Steaks as a gift. We also had bagged Asian Style salad and toasted ciabatta rolls.
The steak was supposed to be vacuum sealed but one was not so I re-bagged it. The other I used right in the package. I sous-vide cooked it at 135° for about 3 hours as per Serious Eats. I seared them on a super hot pan first with ghee and then adding some butter to the tops. I also made sure to get the sides to the bacon was crispy.
The biggest issue is I forgot salt! Both before the bag and then after searing! Oops. Next time, I will just open and rebag the steak and add salt there!
So it was a nice fancy(ish) meal and pretty easy!

Meredith made Baked Spaghetti Squash Carbonara with the recipe from The Kitchn (LOCAL). She followed that recipe pretty closely except used the spaghetti squash instruction from Love and Lemons ( LOCAL). She went heavy on the ricotta and light on the salt but otherwise stayed pretty true to the recipe. It came out really good and also smelled good too! We will do this again!

We made roasted gnocchi (which we finally moved to our recipe book) using that recipe including the fennel. It was really good as usual. The gnocchi didn't get too crispy but was definitely not soft either. We used a non-spicy sausage so we could give it to Caroline

Meredith made salmon salad from Sprinkles and Sea Salt (LOCAL) recipe. She did not follow their salmon cooking instructions (but maybe should have) and instead baked it at 320°F for 20 min. We really thought that would be too little but we were wrong as you can see in the picture. Thankfully there it was for the salad so it is likely more forgiving.
Meredith's comments:
Definitely better than last weeks version [no post]. I followed this closely, but skipped the coriander, and did more dill. More capers and red onion. Could use more dill next time

We marinated tofu (I don't know in what) and roasted it along with brussel sprouts. Pretty easy and tasted good too!
