It’s been a serious cold snap in Melbourne this week and it has me craving ramen and comfort food. But it’s Melbourne, so the week ahead is actually looking nice and warmish so I probably won’t be starting on soup just yet… I’ll ease into that sort of thing with curry 😉

I’ve been having the busiest weeks followed by serious homebody weekends. I’m just really not feeling going out at the moment. It’s probably just this cold snap mixed with a deep level of exhaustion from trying to do entirely too much! So it’s time to meal plan, to make everyone’s life easier!

Plan A

Day 1: Cauliflower and Potato Vegan Massaman Curry, this is a super yummy curry made more nutrient dense by serving with black rice.

Day 2: Bunless Burgers with Yoghurt Sauce, this is the perfect way to make burgers a lighter midweek option.

Day 3: Israeli Cous Cous Salad with Sumac Prawns and Pomegranate, a super festive looking salad that would also be fab at Easter time!

Day 4: Mushroom and Spinach Fettucine with Lemon and walnuts, I adore a mushroom pasta, load this one with spinach to get extra vegetables in there. You can use a pulse pasta to increase the protein too.

Day 5: Salmon, Zucchini and Potato Cakes with Avocado sauce. Freeze any leftover Potato cakes and then defrost overnight when you need a quick lunch option the following week. You can reheat in a sandwich press!

Plan B

Day 1: Vegan Tempeh and Vegetable Ramen, I told you the ramen cravings were strong!

Day 2: Cauliflower and Potato Vegan Massaman Curry, such a yummy curry and great for work lunches too.

Day 3: Mushroom and Spinach Fettucine with Lemon and walnuts, can you go wrong with mushroom pasta?

Day 4: Garam Masala Baked Eggs with Chickpeas and Spinach, just as appropriate for dinner as it is for brunch.

Day 5: Green Goddess Noodle Bowl with Ginger Miso Dressing, this noodle bowl is a green things delight!

I’m still doing smoothies for breakfast this week, simple green smoothie for the win 😉
