Simple dinner tonight - cheesy pork chops (coated in crushed Cheez-its), homemade pierogies (not homemade by me) and roasted green beans.
Honestly, this is why I've stopped buying beef roasts. There are only two of us, but with beef so ridiculously expensive, we really can't afford a big roast, both from a price and a waste perspective. We could do a small roast, but they just don't cook up as nicely and it's hard to get them to cook evenly and to medium-rare. We've given up; if we want a decent cut of beef, we go to a restaurant. It might be expensive, but at least it's cooked properly- juicy, succulent, flavorful.We had a Sunday Roast Dinner, albeit a little light on traditional sides - just mashed potatoes and pan gravy with an arugula salad DH bought. Kind of sup-par though because a decent cut of beef is ridiculously expensive so I went with a small (very small - 2lb) sirloin tip, which wasn’t near as succulent as I would have liked and the size made it hard to nail mid-rare.

Thanks! Happy to share the recipe if you bake.Those cookies look amazing. DW wants leftover chili tonight. We had it last night, but it didn't sit well with me. So not sure I will eat that, but if that's what DW wants, that's what she gets. Happy wife, happy life, right? We do have some leftover fajita meat from Sunday, so I might have that if it's still good. Final option would be a peanut butter and honey sandwich.

Fajita meat from Sunday is still good. Enjoy your dinner.
