Happy Sunday folks! It’s been another busy week over at the Healthy Hunter HQ, and by that I basically just mean my kitchen cos this is a one woman show kinda thing. Clearly. It’s also been a delicious week with one of my favourite new recipes I’ve posted in while getting in the mix in this weeks meal plans.
I’ve been back juggling a few days of teaching with running this blog and it’s so lovely to talk to other humans during the day (the cats and dog don’t really count and the conversation gets super one sided). That said it also means I have to carefully juggle things so I don’t end up just working all the time and doing nothing else. Recipe development is such a joy it honetly doesn’t always feel like work so I can be pretty bad at remembering to fit other things in too like exercise and a social life beyond watching MAFS with my housemates. It’s my not so secret shame and I couldn’t be more ecstatic it’s done after this week so that I can obsess over something a little more high brow.
Speaking of high brow I’ve got into the High Low a podcast that’s actually on maternity leave currently as one of the hosts Pandora Sykes has very recently given birth. But there’s loads of old episodes for me to catch up on, despite it being more of a current affairs podcast so some of the older episodes might feel a little less relevant today. That doesn’t mean they aren’t hugely enjoyable though so go have a listen.
This week I also moderated a panel discussion for the first time. If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen it on my stories and thank you to my lovely readers that came along and had a listen, it was so lovely to meet you in person you’re a bunch of legends. For those that missed out it was a panel on ‘A Day in the Life of a Food Influencer‘, the panel was full of lovely individuals and I actually got tonnes of photography tips from Katie Wilton, one of the fantastic women behind Smudge Publishing.
Back to the point of this post: what you should be eating this week! There’s a variety of colours and flavours in this lot including a salmon and miso hummus dish that is just ridiculously yum and a vegan ragu that is quick and easy and full of protein.
Plan A
Day 1: Eggplant and Mushroom Rigatoni with Hemp Seeds. This is so lovely and satisfying and grating the eggplant makes it a super quick dish too.
Day 2: Ponzu Salmon with Miso Hummus. If you’ve never made your own hummus or added miso to it you need to do both those things this week. It’s not time consuming and it’s so worth it.
Day 3: Bok Choy and Pork Mince Soba Noodles. These flavoursome noodles are always delicious.
Day 4: Massaman Curry with Cauliflower and Potato. Adding peanut butter to this sauce makes for a thick and creamy curry with real depth of flavour.
Day 5: Crispy Chicken Burger, these are far healthier than the fried chicken I started last week with and just as satisfying.
Plan B
Day 1: Massaman Curry with Cauliflower and Potato this rich and flavoursome curry is such a great way to start the week, take leftovers for lunch!
Day 2: Chopped Thai Salad the fried wonton croutons in this salad take it from fresh and light to a little naughty and it’s the perfect light meal. Add some crispy tofu instead of the eggs if you prefer.
Day 3: Eggplant and Mushroom Rigatoni with Hemp Seeds your Wednesday night deserves some pasta.
Day 4: Vegetarian Nasi Goreng Noodles. Nasi Goreng but it’s noodles, what else needs to be said?
Day 5: Pita Chip Vegetarian Nachos, these are a great way to use up any leftover wraps you might have at the end of the week and they’re super tasty, baked not fried nachos.
I’ve been craving a good self saucing pudding for a while now so I might need to whip up this chocolate number this week.
