This weeks meal plans are ready to go! There’s varied flavours across all the dishes but the overall theme is things to keep you healthy and warm, which is pretty much my current life motto.
SALMON SOBA BOWLS WITH MISO GINGER BROTH
This is a bowl of goodness, full of flavour, textures, healthy fats and green vegetables. You’ll feel better just smelling it. Can you tell I’m obsessed with salmon at the moment?!
GOLDEN COCONUT TOFU BUDDHA BOWLS
I haven’t made a buddha bowl in what feels like ages and this was just what I needed. Golden coconut coated tofu, roasted kale and lightly pickled carrot with a creamy avocado and peanut sauce or piled on top of quinoa – perfect.
MEAL PLANS WEEK 27
Happy Sunday folks! It’s meal plan time again. This week you’ll find some super yummy ideas based around cross over ingredients because I like to try and make your life easier like that.
GARAM MASALA CHICKEN, GREENS AND RICE TRAYBAKE
One pan meals are always a good idea, and this garam masala spiced one is so easy! it’s a quick marinade then throw things in the pan. Even the rice is cooked in there. If you hadn’t noticed I’m all about minimal effort and washing up at the moment and this dish ticks all those boxes. place it tastes YUMMMM!
MOROCCAN SPICED CHICKPEA AND TOMATO SOUP
This is such an easy soup recipe and will keep you feeling warm on these chilly winter days. It can be ready in 30 minutes and is all done in one pot, no blending required. The spices can be adjusted to suit your taste and you can leave out some if you don’t have a well stocked spice cupboard. That said, buy SOME spices though, cos if you don’t know how to flavour your food what are you even doing?!
MEAL PLANS WEEK 26
This weekend has been so crisp, sunny days becoming cold nights and I just don’t know why I’m never prepared for this level of winter. Every year I’m all like, ‘I don’t remember it being this cold last year’, when clearly it was. And for al of you that live in places that are actually cold. I’m only talking single digits celsius that I’m struggling with. There’s no snow or actual cold. Just me dressing inappropriately, as a fairly constant state of affairs. But man is it making me crave hot food for every meal.
7 HEALTHY SOUPS TO KEEP YOU WARM THIS WINTER
You cannot possibly underestimate the warming, healing and happiness power of a good soup on a cold day. I’m probably making at least 1 soup a week at the moment and filling my freezer with tasty things for cold days when cooking is just beyond me. Yeah even people like me who spend all their time, thinking about, writing about and cooking food can’t be stuffed sometimes. Make your way through this tasty little collection this winter for happy bellies and warm hands.
TANDOORI SALMON AND CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH RAIITA
You all know by now that I’m pretty pro the cauliflower. Especially roasted, the texture is the best: tender on the inside, crispy on the outside. Plus, it’s a magnet for other delicious flavours. It’s so good that you can have this salad without the salmon and it’s still DELICIOUS. But the salmon is amazing too! This is basically the perfect warm winter salad.
MEAL PLANS WEEK 25
This weeks meal plans are continuing along that waste less theme. The recipes have cross over ingredients but different flavour profiles and should leave you with enough for lunches if there’s just 2 of you! This is how I cook at home, using ingredients form one recipe to create the rest.
