I know there’s a bit of repetition here with sous vide steak, however, this is the first time I’ve cooked sirloin steak.
Yummy Lummy is all about cooking for one, so here’s a recipe for sirloin steak for one along with some really nice blue cheese mashed pumpkin and some stir-fried leftover quinoa which I fried with broccolini and asparagus.
I know there’s a bit of repetition here with sous vide steak, however, this is the first time I’ve cooked a T-bone steak.
Yummy Lummy is all about cooking for one, so here’s a recipe for T-bone steak for one along with some really nice blue cheese mashed sweet potato and some stir-fried leftover quinoa which I fried with broccolini and asparagus.
I was recently reading “Cooking is Fun … Really!!” and the blogger (whose real name I don’t know) posted about quinoa fried ‘rice’.
Quinoa cheese pot pie rather than a traditional mac and cheese sounds way too hipster for Yummy Lummy but what the hey. I do like quinoa and I do like cheese. I used rice flour so unlike mac and cheese, this is gluten-free for people with Cœliac disease.

This is a gluten-free variation on mac and cheese with the nuttiness of quinoa. It can be enjoyed as a dinner or lunch time meal. Another serving idea is to not include the vegetables in the pie but to serve them separately. I think having the bacon is integral to the dish and adds a depth of flavour. I got the idea for the basis of this dish from Erica von Trapp at Bubble Child.

I thought it was pretty awesome. While I don’t have Cœliac disease, I like to explore food that other people can eat because of a medical condition.
Sure, don’t add the bacon. You could add some mushroom, not as a bacon substitute but as another ingredient to give it some extra texture.
Well then depending on how you make the pastry top, it may not be gluten-free. If you don’t have Cœliac disease and you like pastry and bread, then a puff pie pastry or some panko breadcrumbs would add some crunchy texture.
Yep, I reckon it would be nice on a burger or on a hot dog.
I reckon it would be disgusting cold, but that’s just my opinion.

I like the fact in Canberra we have taxpayer funded public art and street art all in the one place. I just wonder when what locals are calling the “Woden ghetto sans people” will undergo development.
Back to my usual routine of salmon on a Monday. In the new year, I bought myself a Tefal portable induction hob. It was fantastic. An induction hob is great for making crispy skin salmon.
It’s getting cool again in Canberra. I miss Summer. The Woden wind tunnel is very fresh in the morning as I go to get my mail.
I was involved in some group work and someone brought some TimTams. You’ve got to love coworkers who bring TimTams.
Lunch was a cordon bleu from Urban Bean. It was good. I like adding cheese and ham to most things 🤣
Dinner was again crispy skin salmon.
It’s hump day and I still wonder if this is the only “sign” of construction the Woden ghetto sans people will see in the foreseeable future.
Urban Bean did a special mushroom burger lunch. No bread, just these huge Portobello mushrooms instead of a bun. It was delicious, especially with the beetroot.
Dinner was Wednesday chicken, namely, broccoli and spicy cheesy chicken wings on oven fried bread.
Payday, you’ve got to love payday. I love payday. I often buy the lunch special from Urban Bean on pay day. The special was Beef Wellington with truffle mash, broccolini and mushroom jus.
Dinner was a simple meat-free quinoa rice and vegetables because I’d eaten so much during the day.
I also decided it was time to change the profile photograph I was using on my non-food related social media like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. I’m so grateful I can connect my camera with my iPhone. Yes, it’s been edited to smooth out my skin a little.
For a bit of a change, rather than going to the staff tuck shop, I went to the Zouki café with a colleague for lunch. I had a chicken schnitzel wrap. It was quite filling.
On Friday afternoon, I looked up the salmonellosis rates for the ACT given recent outbreaks and was surprised.
Friday saw round two of the NRL with the highlight being Friday night’s game between the Brisbane Broncos and the North Queensland Cowboys.
I decided to make a bowl of cheerios and cheesy potato gems with ETA barbeque sauce. As much as I enjoyed the meal, my team, the Brisbane Broncos lost in golden point extra time. It was just like a finals game. It was so exciting.
I ate well on the weekend too, but I’ve put enough photographs in this post. Have a good weekend. Catch you later.
What did you eat last week?
