Meal Plans Week 88

October 21, 2018 No Comments

This week the meals are coming to you from New Orleans! I’m sure this trip is going to involving me eating loads of food – not all of it good for me (hey there beignets) and that’s totally okay. I’ll be back home soon eating a whole load of summery salads and the like and I can’t wait to share with you all the recipe ideas I have now.

For now let’s plan what we’re eating this week! I’m going for variety and a nice balanced mix to keep things interesting this week. What are you craving at the moment?

Also I’ve had some success in the whole green living while I’m away thing but there’s one thing that’s been stuffing up my plans: the huge amount of coffee shops in America that give you you a disposable cup for your coffee even when you are having in! Why do places do this? Surely it’s not a financially beneficial option? Or is it? I’ve just never encountered this before but maybe that’s more to do with where I normally get my coffee. Let me know if this happens at your coffee shop and if you know why (other than laziness of washing cups, please don’t let that be the dismal reason).

Rant over, meal plans time:

Plan A

Day 1: Fragrant Dahl with Chickpeas, Zucchini and Spinach: I haven’t eaten dahl in quite some time so I’m so ready for this.

Day 2: Lamb Meatballs with Pomegranate and Mint on Yoghurt Sauce. Have this with a pearl couscous and haloumi salad

Day 3: Quick Broccoli, Lemon and Almond Pasta low effort meals filled with greens are always a good idea.

Day 4: Ponzu Salmon with Miso Hummus, salmon tails are one of my most favourite things to eat in the world.

Day 5: Crunchy Baked Chicken Nuggets with Japanese Seasoning, I can’t believe I haven’t made chicken nuggets for my nephew and nieces yet. Terrible Aunt.
