Today is our daughter’s birthday and we were supposed to be celebrating it in Bari, Italy. Instead she is upstairs having a digital Happy Hour with her friends. I am sorry for her and us but what can you do? John and I decided to celebrate her birth with a steak, mashed rutabagas, sort of creamed spinach, and a glass of red wine. Might as well make lemonade out of lemons!

John sous vide the steak first and then put it on the grill to sear it. I made the rutabagas in the Instant Pot. I cut it up in cubes and cooked it under high pressure for 12 minutes with a instant steam release. Rutabagas are so good and mash up like potatoes but with a better flavor and a fraction of the calories.They are full of potassium and vitamin C. The third component on our dish was supposed to be creamed spinach. I substituted 0% fat Greek yogurt and it broke immediately. It’s not a pretty sight but it still tasted okay.
