Good Morning! It’s that time of the week again where I send delicious suggestions for what to make in the week ahead. And also tend to blab on about what else has been happening in my little corner of the world.
So my plans for upcoming holidays are in full swing. I’m off to Byron in 2 weeks for a friend’s wedding, that means I need all the suggestions of where I should be eating while I’m there. Australian readers, please send me all the tips!
Then a couple of weeks after that I head to the states for 6 weeks, then New Zealand on the way home. I’m spending most of that time in California (LA and San Diego county) but will also be heading to New Orleans and a couple of other places. If you lovely North American folks could send me all the tips for New Orleans especially that’d be sooo great. Although I have spent quite a bit of time in California I’ve never been to New Orleans and I’m unbelievably excited. I probably need to rewatch that episode of Ugly Delicious prior to that adventure.
Oh and on my waste less, live a life that causes me less cognitive dissonance rant (I wrote about this last week) I have not got very far with any of my little projects yet. Although making a compost bin is on the cards for today. I’m thinking of doing this home made version as it seems super easy.
But for now, meal plans!
Plan A
Day 1: Thyme Roasted Carrot and Goats Cheese Bruschetta, make your Monday really easy with this quick supper. Add a poached egg for extra protein.
Day 2: Grilled Oyster Blade Steak with Crispy Brussel Sprouts, mid week meals don’t get quicker than this and the creamy tahini yoghurt sauce is served with is so delicious with the middle eastern spices.
Day 3: Cauliflower, Haloumi and Pomegranate Salad is perfect with these crispy baked chicken pieces.
Day 4: Pumpkin, Tomato and Spinach Dahl, is winter comfort food at its best and it freezes well so you can have a lunch ready and waiting for you for whenever you’re less than organised.
Day 5: Salmon and Mushroom Ramen with a Ponzu Broth, a quick cheats ramen and really fresh and light.
Plan B
Day 1: Cauliflower, Haloumi and Pomegranate Salad. Top a serve of quinoa with this deliciousness for a filling meal.
Day 2: Pumpkin, Tomato and Spinach Dahl, make it early in the week and your lunches will be sorted.
Day 3: Thyme Roasted Carrot and Goats Cheese Bruschetta, a super easy midweek meal.
Day 4: Vegan Ramen, Using tempeh instead of mince makes this vegetable filled ramen super filling.
Day 5: Eggplant and Mushroom Rigatoni, mixing hemp seeds through this vegan ragu ups the protein content to keep you feeling full for longer. Use any sort of pasta you prefer!
And this weeks bonus? I think it’s time for a skillet cookie.
