I’m always on a mission to include one of my favourite meals, spaghetti and meatballs, in new ways in my life. Today I’ve gone in a an odd but crazily delicious direction. Just trust me a little here and read on.
CAULIFLOWER MAC ‘N’ CHEESE WITH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER
Comfort food. But full of goodness too. This creamy cheesey mac n cheese is full of cauliflower, both in the cauliflower based ‘bechamel’ and in the crispy roasted bits peeking out the top. it’s a good one.
10 EASY RECIPES FOR WHEN YOU’RE COOKING FOR 1 (AND MAYBE YOUR PLUS ONE)
Because when you’re the only one you’re cooking for it should be more fun, not make you sad. It’s a Friday recipe round up guaranteed to make any night that it’s just you a joyous celebration. Just add wine. The best part about cooking for you is you can cook whatever you like, however you like and not worry about anyone else’s opinion. Cos you’re the only one that matters.
QUICK VEGETARIAN MISO RAMEN
Like usual, I by no means claim authenticity but I do claim flavour. This is a clean and light ramen, perfect for a work lunch. You can adjust the seasonings and vegetables to suit your tastes and use traditional ramen noodles instead of rice noodles if you prefer!
ZUCCHINI WAFFLE BREAKFAST NACHOS
This is a killer breakfast that combines so many of my favourite things. Waffles? Tick. Nacho style layering? Tick. Zucchini fritters? Tick. Plus they’re topped with a herby yoghurt sauce, fried eggs and avocado. It doesn’t get much yummier. These waffle breakfast nachos are a fun way to serve breakfast to a group of people, we don’t eat share food at breakfast often enough, I say.
KUNG PAO MUSHROOM NOODLES
Guys! Remember kung pao chicken? It’s like a Chinese takeaway favourite, and I’ve usually had it with chicken. But you know I’m always trying to find ways to eat less meat (love it, but I wanna eat the veg for my body’s sake and save the world – realistic goals are my thing), and thus there’s no chicken in this. I replaced it with… mushrooms! And yum! And added noodles cos I love them.
CRISPY COCONUT AND SESAME CAULIFLOWER
These are so good! Golden, crispy, crunchy goodness. They’re kind of begging for an ice cold beer, or some other tasty beverage to go along with them but you can also get all virtuous and have them on top of a nourish bowl situation. I like to think of them as one of two things: sustainable coconut prawns or sustainable sesame fried chicken. Sustainable because they’re not either of those two things. Hilarious (don’t hate me).

AVOCADO AND CUCUMBER SUSHI BOWL
I love sushi but in all honestly I never make it at home, I prefer to be a lazy person and just put all the ingredients into a bowl and eat that. Well I’m making my own food so I guess that’s not super lazy…
VEGETARIAN LASAGNE WITH EGGPLANT RAGU AND CAULIFLOWER SAUCE
This lasagne is packed full of vegetables, I’ve literally stuffed in as many as I could. The ragu is made of vegetables, most of the pasta layers are actually vegetables. The bechamel sauce is actually vegetables. All the vegetables. You can feel really high and mighty about this one.
