I love okonomiyaki so much. It’s one of my favourite mid week dinners. This is a reworking of that famous meal into fritter form so it seems a little more breakfast like! You have to make these this weekend! I should probably chill out on the exclamation marks…
EASY SWEET POTATO BUDDHA BOWL WITH MAPLE TAHINI DRESSING
This year I’m making an effort to mix up some of the more complicated recipes I do with really simple ones. Things with shorter ingredient lists, less processes and less time required to make them. Because I don’t want healthy to feel hard for anyone! I’ll still be writing things that have a few more processes and things because it’s also great to challenge oneself – just not every night of the week, right?
CHIPOTLE TOFU BOWLS
Chipotle Tofu Bowls? Heck yes I’m in! You all know by now that I love ‘bowl food’ and have probably caught on to my love of Mexican too (recent enchilada and tortilla soup posts might have hinted at this..). If you’ve really be paying attention you may also have noticed that I’m getting into the occasional serve of tofu too.
WEEKLY MEAL PLAN WEEK 2
How was everyone’s week? I hope it was full on sunshine, wonderful people and delicious food. Let’s work on making next week all about that too shall we?
CRISPY CHICKPEA BOWL WITH SLAW, CREAMY SPINACH DRESSING AND QUINOA
This is an easy work lunch or vegetarian dinner. The flavours are fresh and simple, just what you want in summer! As far as these sort of colourful bowls go it’s blissfully simple to make and full of all the flavour, texture and yum you could want.
CREAMY SPICED LENTIL DAAL
Yes I realise we’ve just had a heatwave of a weekend. But it’s cooled down a little now, and it’s winter in the other half of the world so I know some of you are going to feel like curry. Personally, I always feel like curry. I don’t think it’s just winter comfort food as a lot of countries that serve curry as a staple are typically warm balmy year round weather places. So this is summer appropriate. Plus it’s so friggin good. It’s my favourite dahl, creamy and fragrant and really easy to make.
WEEKLY MEAL PLAN WEEK 1
New year new you right? This year I’m changing it up a little and starting some weekly meal plans for you all. Each week there will be Meal Plan A (Vegetarian) and Meal Plan B (Meat Eater). They will include 5 nights of meal suggestions, photos to get you salivating and links to all the recipes. I’ll also chuck in a breakfast, lunch or snack recipe every now and then because I need variety in my life and I’m sure someone else out there does too!
CHILLI SESAME CRISPY TOFU BUN BOWLS
Crunchy golden tofu pieces in a spicy salty sauce with toasted sesame seeds, hell yes! Put it all on top of a pile of fine rice noodles and fresh slaw and I’m a happy girl. This is by no means a traditional bun bowl with all the right flavours and – but they were the inspiration, so don’t get angry at me for my description. Let 2017 be the year of you having fun with your food and letting go of the rule book.
GRILLED EGGPLANT SALAD WITH QUINOA, ZUCCHINI AND TAHINI YOGHURT DRESSING
Welcome to 2017! I thought due to the New Years resolutions I’m sure have happened I should start things off for the year with a salad. A delicious, filling, nutritious salad with smokey grilled eggplant and a creamy tahini dressing – it’s a good one!
ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND LENTIL SALAD WITH BEETROOT HUMMUS
This salad is so pretty and full of flavour. it combines a couple of my favourite things… hummus and cauliflower. I’ve been really into loading roasted cauliflower onto hummus lately and then scooping it all up with some flat bread… or just a fork. But I felt I could make the whole thing look less beige. So now we have this.
