First of all sorry for the silence this week! I have posted 1/4 of the recipes I usually would whoops. But my reason is good, I haven’t had time to test things and have just been exhausted! But I’m testing this weekend and should have some new and delicious things for you next week. I haven’t completely forgotten about you though… I’ve got a delicious meal plan for you!
COUSCOUS FRITTERS
I’m back from holidays and not loving reality. Such a positive start to a blog post right? I feel like I could have extended my holiday for twice the length at least if money hadn’t have been an issue. If money wan’t an issue so much of life would be different wouldn’t it? But I had the most amazing time, and have so many experiences to share with you all…soon. For now let’s start with a recipe that was influenced by Morocco, where couscous is king.
MEAL PLANS WEEK 16
Sunday funday? Sunday prep day? How do you organise your week? This week I’m doing the meal planning for you… for the 16th week in a row! Now if only I’d offer to do your shopping rather than only writing the lists – so selfish of me 😉
CHILLI, SESAME AND LIME POPCORN
I love snacking, especially when you’re watching a movie or sharing some drinks with friends. This popcorn takes a simple snack to the next level, making it very grown up and even more addictive than the original. Look out.
GREEN THAI CURRY CHICKEN STIR FRY WITH LYCHEE AND KAFFIR LIME
When I say chicken stir fry I mean chicken and vegetable. And probably mostly vegetable. Because I really do see stir fry as a chance to eat as many delicious vegetables as possible. Using curry paste as the base of a sauce for a stir fry is so fantastic as it gets rid of so much of the prep time and delivers big on flavour!
MUSHROOM, KALE AND LENTIL VEGETARIAN SAUSAGE ROLLS
Who doesn’t love a good sausage roll? We do these so well in Australia and I’ve been branching out occasionally recently and doing something I never thought I would. Eating vego sausage rolls. Sorry, ‘sausage’ rolls. I’m still calling them that as they’re the right shape and the same idea but just filled with veggies! Super nourishing and filling and all encased in flaky puff pastry.
MEAL PLANS WEEK 15
This week I have some ridiculously yummy things in store for you. From pasta bake, to noodles, to grilled chicken salads there’s even a burger. It’s meal planning Sunday time and I’ve tried to take the difficult part out of it for you.
GLUTEN FREE VANILLA AND COCONUT WAFFLES
WAFFLES! I haven’t posted a waffle recipe since last year so thought it was probably about time. These are light and fluffy with a crisp exterior and they’re gluten free and dairy free. You could make them vegan by following the suggestions just before the recipe. And just in time for Easter brunch!
GORGONZOLA STUFFED LAMB BURGERS
I don’t eat burgers as often as I would secretly like to, so when I do I want them to be really worthwhile. Full of flavour and super satisfying. This burger has all of that and is also full of wholesome ingredients.
BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH CHEDDAR, BLACK BEANS AND GREEN SALSA
Baked sweet potatoes make for such a good lunch or dinner! You can make these ahead of time and just reheat things when you’re ready to eat. They take a little bit of time in the oven but you’re just waiting for most of that time – there’s not lots you need to do to make them delicious. You can read a book, dance round the kitchen, have a glass of wine etc while you wait for the oven to do it’s thing.
