I’m obsessed with these meatballs, they’re perfect to add to any salad bowl, stuff into pita, have with mash – eat them your way. You can freeze any extras you have or make a double batch and freeze them raw. That way you always have a healthy protein option on hand.
Butternut Pumpkin and Cashew Curry
This creamy vegan curry is a delight on a cold night. It’s full of warm flavours, buttery roasted cashews and sweet pumpkin. The curry paste is quick and simple to make, you should have it on the table in 45 minutes!
Meal Plans 24
I’m a week into my gut makeover and I’m starting to feel really good. I was worried doing it during lockdown would be depressing but it’s actually helpful. I have something to focus on and there’s no social events for me to miss out on things at. This week’s meal plans will reflect how I’ve been eating so you can see what it’s all about! These recipes would suit anyone on a gluten/ grain/dairy/sugar free diet:) Or anyone trying to curb that pasta addiction.
Orange, Ginger and Spring Onion Salmon with Asian Greens
This salmon is so fresh and delicious and makes use of how delicious oranges are right now! On my daily neighbourhood wanders I jealously stare at the citrus laden trees people have in their front yards, lucky my neighbours are nice enough to leave bags of excess fruit at their gates.
Carrot and Sage Soup with Haloumi Croutons
Crisp mornings and sunny days are the perfect time for this sunny bowl of goodness. And if you use the non Haloumi type of croutons then it’s vegan too! But, haloumi is delicious…
Simple Red Lentil Dahl
I have lots of lovely dahl recipes on this blog but this one is made with just dry ingredients to flavour it, especially handy when you’re low on fresh ginger, garlic and onion like I was when a curry craving hit.
Crispy Chicken Ribs – Baked not fried!
These are so good that my partner and I prefer them to the deep fried version. Using skinless chicken ribs makes them a lighter choice than your typical fried chicken wing. And you don’t miss out on any flavour.
Cumin Spiced Mushroom Crispy Rice Bowl
This whole ‘recipe’ is designed to be messed with! The core components are just the rice and mushrooms, what else you put with it is up to you and the contents of your fridge! You want to think about acid, extra protein and crunch. More on that below!
Vermicelli Noodle Salad With Ginger and Soy Mushrooms
I’m so into shredded oyster mushrooms as replacement for meat. They soak up any flavour you throw at them and get the best crispy texture. They’re the perfect thing to sub for pork and chicken for this laissez-faire take on a bun bowl.
Mushroom ‘Carnitas’ Tacos with Fried Jalapeno and Cashew Lime Crema
New recipe time! These mushroom tacos have so much flavour and texture and are completely vegan. Simple to make and I’m calling them ‘carnitas’ as they have the texture of my favourite kind of carnitas taco… when the pork has been tossed on the grill before serving and got delightful crispy edges.
