Pork Tenderloin Tomato Salad

July 31, 2026 No Comments

This Pork Tenderloin Tomato Salad is the perfect example of how I like to eat in the summertime. Well, when I actually eat a meal. Random intervals of slightly rapid snacking are usually where I’m at in 30+ weather: The power of a well-timed bag of chips on a patio cannot be overstated. But when I’m not in sun-soaked raccoon mode, a simple protein seasoned with a punchy marinade, paired with the season’s freshest and finest, is all I need. And that’s exactly what this salad is. A piece of lean protein flavoured with an aromatic heavy caramel marinade spiked with fish sauce, cooked, sliced, and tossed with juicy summer tomatoes. What could be better?

Bolognese Sloppy Joes

We’re creeping towards the darkest time of the year. And if you’re a bit of a sun-worshipper like me, you’re already feeling it. There was also that extremely rude time change last weekend, which was, um, unappreciated. But anyway… When things get dark, I like to lean into cozy. This isn’t particularly novel, but I say it because I think it is essential. I save my movie marathons, comfort watches, and scented candles for this particular moment. And you know what? It does make this time of year seem special. Some seasons are harder to love than others, but with the help of a cozy couch, an impossibly fluffy throw, and an endless run of comfort food, I can *almost* enjoy it. And right now, the comfort food I’m leaning on the most are these Bolognese Sloppy Joes.

Mozzarella Schnitzel BLT

This recipe is part of a larger dinner party menu you can find on my Substack. The category is Summer 2025 Remix, and it features five brand-new courses made up entirely of recipes I shared over the season. You can find the recipe booklet and a handy party prep schedule here.

The BLT can not be improved upon. It’s a perfect sandwich. It nails the crunch factor, flirts with salty/sweet excellence, and is generally off-the-charts when it comes to textural contrast. The BLT needs no assistance, and yet, I’ve added fried cheese to it. And yes, this wouldn’t be the first time. Remember this halloumi number from last year? I’m not sure what happened to me in my childhood or life in general that caused this knee-jerk reaction, but where there is bacon and bread, I seem inclined to add cheese. So here we are with a massive Mozzarella Schnitzel BLT party sub. And I’ve got to say, looking at this sandwich, I can’t see this compulsion as a problem.

Potato Chip Tower with Prosciutto and Endive

Today, I have less of a recipe and more of a snack concept. I’ve been seeing dressed potato chips all over the Internet lately. They’ve been called potato chip towers, charcuterie chips, and potato chip nachos. But I prefer the name potato chip sundae. No one else is calling it this, and it isn’t particularly descriptive, but for some reason, that is where my mind landed, and now I can’t resist calling it that. You’ll notice I didn’t choose that term for the title. Sometimes it’s better to keep one’s strangeness to oneself. I guess I wasn’t successful at doing that since I just told you, but at least the SEO gods are happy. But whatever you call it, today’s Potato Chip Tower with Prosciutto and Endive is simple to put together and devastatingly snackable. So let’s make it!
