BEEF MEDALLIONS
We took inspiration from our friend, Google, and went with a classic grilled fillet medallion with a delicious chimichurri-style sauce. The beef medallions were Walmart's AAA Angus Beef Striploin Steak Medallions, and got a 10 out of 10 all round! The recipe can be found here.

SQUASHED ROAST POTATOES
These potatoes are ALWAYS a hit, and so simple to make! We both love to cook, as long as what we are making fulfills one essential criteria - it's easy to make! Inspired by Sharon Glass' squashed potatoe recipe, this recipe is super simple!
*We modified it to use baby potatoes, but regular potatoes work just as well!*
Ingredients:
2 bags of unpeeled Yukon Gold Mini Potatoes
Olive oil
Coarse salt
Pepper
Fresh or dried rosemary
Method:
Boil potatoes whole with their skin on until they are firm but soft enough to lightly mash. Preheat oven to 200°C.
When soft enough, use a potato masher to squash the potatoes and place them on a lined baking tray. Drizzle potatoes with olive oil, and season with coarse salt and pepper. Sprinkle with freshly/dried rosemary.
Place baking rack in the upper part of the oven. Bake until golden and crispy – at least 40-50 minutes. They should be as crispy and crunchy as possible.
