So February is quickly coming to an end and that means no more summer soon and no thank you I’m not ready for Autumn quite yet! Yes, I realise March will probably be even warmer than what we’ve had so far but there’s still so many summer things I’d planned to do like more picnics and beach days and I feel like February has been work, work, work and not enough activities.
Except for this weekend which has been spent in Taggerty soaking up the joy at a friend’s wedding. I should probably stop complaining about not enough activities! This month has been full of fun work things too. I’ve been doing recipe development with the lovely people at Rotimatic and came up with a delicious dessert/ brunch idea for them. It’s a cinnamon and maca roti topped with chocolate and coconut ganache and caramelised banana and it’s too delicious. Check out the recipe here. I’ve also been filming little recipe videos on my Instagram stories so head on over to that if you want to see me awkwardly talking to the camera and some of my favourite recipes as a step by step video. There’ll be new one this week too.
I also posted a recipe on my Instagram for a cookie dough smoothie bowl situation that’s high and protein and big on the deliciousness so check out that while you’re perusing the recipe videos.
This final week of February brings two delicious meal plans for you. The vegetarian options are spot on and full of colour and the eat everything plan A has some of my all time favourite weeknight meals in it. Enjoy!
Plan A
Day 1: Vegetarian Tikka Masala, yep tikka masala is a made up British curry and it’s supposed to be with chicken but I’ve gone and made it vegetarian because it’s perfect like this. Just make it;)
Day 2: Steamed Ocean Trout with Sesame, Ginger and Greens, this delicate steamed fish recipe is perfect with salmon too.
Day 3: Pearl Barley, Asparagus and Zucchini Salad, if you don’t want a second vego meal this week you could cook extra fish the night before and have it flaked over this salad. You could also a rotisserie chicken and use the leftovers for day 5’s recipe!
Day 4: Eye Fillet Rainbow Rice Bowls, take the leftovers for lunch tomorrow as this bowl is good hot or cold!
Day 5: Roast Chicken Noodles, these noodles are the best, you can just grab a rotisserie chicken on your way home and you’ll have a quick and flavoursome dinner.
Plan B
Day 1: Pearl Barley, Asparagus and Zucchini Salad, add some grilled haloumi to this salad or saganaki to make all your cheese dreams come true.
Day 2: Green Goddess Noodle Bowl with Ginger and Miso Dressing, This bowl of noodles is brimming with delightful green things and punchy flavour.
Day 3: Vegetarian Tikka Masala, make extra rice so you can do the below recipe the next night!
Day 4: Crispy Rice Bowl with All the Green Things, one of my all time favourite easy mid week meals to make and such a great thing to do with any left over rice you may have.
Day 5: Rainbow Breakfast Pizza, this vegetarian pizza is any time of the day appropriate
This week’s bonus is definitely that cinnamon roti I was talking about earlier! So delightful.
