This is the second to last meal plans post for the year! There won’t be one next Sunday as I just feel like you won’t need them in the Christmas rush so this week I’ll be including some tips and recipes that are ideal for using Christmas leftovers! Bookmark this post for the week after Christmas people!
ROOT VEGETABLE FRITTERS WITH AVOCADO AND PICKLED RADISH SALSA
These fritters are super adaptable and simple to make. They’re quick and easy and the perfect thing to take for lunch at work or have a pile of in the fridge to reheat for breakfast.
FRIDAY FINDS
So many things happening this week. So many things I want to cook too. Lucky I’ve barely done anything else!
ROAST CHICKEN NOODLES
I live in a household of two. Two people can’t eat a whole roast chicken in one sitting. I mean, we have friends over frequently but sometimes I want a roast and when there is only two of you you’re going to have leftovers. And leftovers are what these noodles are all about. Leftovers and flavour! Because there’s no point in trying not to waste things if it’s not going to taste good.
FRIED RICE WITH CUCUMBER AND CORIANDER SALAD
Fried rice is one of my favourite things. Not wasting leftovers is another of my favourite things. Christmas is a time when we tend to over cater in my household, and coming up with new ways of using the leftovers is a fun post Christmas game. This fried rice is super tasty, full of veg and can use up a tonne of left over bits and pieces in your fridge.

These are my 3 hacks (+3 delicious quick and easy recipes) for making sure lunch is always brilliant and you don’t get bored or stuck in a lunch rut. They are aimed at those who aren’t going to do a huge amount of lunch prep on the weekend and want something that can be thrown together in 15 minutes or less.
RAINBOW SALAD BOWLS
At the moment I’m all about lunch. I have a couple of go to favourite lunches. No. 1 is last night’s dinner (I am a lazy girl at heart!) and No. 2 is a rainbow salad bowl (which often involves last nights dinner ha). They’re such a great way to get loads of high nutrient unprocessed foods into your diet and are ridiculously tasty. Also, you never get bored of them because they can be varied endlessly. This post gives you a set of guidelines of what to include to be sure of a delicious and nutrient packed lunch, but remember they are guidelines, not rules, so take the reigns and make your salad bowl your own. The key is to get the balance right.
