Wow this week has been a whirlwind of activity, with loads of pre Christmas catchups, all the birthday get togethers, catering, client work and teaching I feel like I never stop. Plus I thought it was a good idea to start a new business on top of that so I am definitely keeping busy. This means that my go to meals are easy to cook and quick at the moment and that’s this week’s meal plans.
Okay so you may or may not have noticed that I haven’t posted anything since last week’s meal plans. I had sort of run out of recipes to post while traveling as testing them is a little hard when I’m not in one spot for long, and I just wanted to really be laid back in this last week of my holiday. Plus it was my birthday week and I thought not pushing myself to write when I didn’t feel like it might be the nicest treat of all.
I was tempted just to write ‘pan fry until golden and eat’ 7 times in this list and be done with it… but that would be failing to tell you all the things you can make more delicious by adding golden haloumi to them (air, mostly air). Okay seriously though this list will make you drool.
This week I’ve been travelling through Utah, Colorado and am now in Texas! To see what I’ve been up to on the road check my Instagram! You’ll also start seeing some of the food inspo I’ve got a long the way in upcoming recipes. But for now I have some meal plans for you!
It’s super grain time! Good old quinoa has been the gluten free, high protein grain of choice for years now and there’s so many reasons why. And the easy of pronouncing it is not one of them. It’s tasty, versatile and filling. If you’re like me you often cook too much when you make quinoa so read on for some very delicious ways to use this seed!
 It’s the last meal plan post of August and I’m extra excited because I head to Byron Bay tomorrow! So I obviously will not be in need of these meal plans but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to still write it for you!
I think I’m coming out of my seasonal funk, I want to eat all the healthy vegetable things again. My love affair with pies is coming to an end, I think I’m done with pastry for the time being. I’m still obsessed with soups even if soup tang clan has been slacking off recently (yes team this is a public shaming). But I’m mixing it up somewhat and that is totally reflected below.
This super simple smoothie is a must before mangoes get too ridiculously expensive! It’s perfect for breakfast or a as a light dessert on a warm day. The consistency is like soft serve and the flavour is super tropical – yum!
This week we’ve got some old favourites mixed in with new recipes that are on high rotation in my house! The warm weather has me loving salad bowls, easy pastas and one pan meals that mean minimal time spent washing up.
I didn’t know what to title this post, like do I start all over again, do I need a year date now that it’s in the second year? I couldn’t decide so I just decided to carry on as usual. New year, same me.
