Ooft this week has been full of food. This most likely is unsurprising news because I write a food blog but there’s been a lot of non food blog related food and my body is overwhelmed with cake. The week ahead is going to be full of vegetables and seafood that’s for sure.
So I heard this week that Melbournians just love to talk about the weather. And i realised that I do that so often on this blog that it’s a little embarrassing. Maybe it’s because it’s so damn unstable in this corner of the world. It’s been summer weather all week with balmy evenings and now it’s miserable, cold, windy and raining. And the weather clearly has an effect on what I feel like eating so it’s totally okay that I’ve just spent a paragraph talking about it…
Happy Sunday folks! I hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend and are rearing to go for the week ahead… or at least not dreading it that’s a good start. I’ve got some lovely autumn themed recipes for you in this weeks post and some to celebrate the last of the summer veg.
Happy long weekend folks! I hope it’s been full of fabulous food and good times. Unfortunately mine has been full of watching Mad Men from bed because I’ve had the flu…. but I think I’m coming right today so I’ll have to make up for lost time on the fabulous food front;)
I’m writing this while drinking a hot toddy because the weather has been monumentally miserable today. But it looks like it’s about to come right just in time for me to venture out for the evening and pretend to have an exciting social life… but first it’s meal plan time.
I’m usually super organised with my posts but this week not so much. I’m actually finishing writing this from bed on a Sunday morning. I really should have pushed ‘publish’ an hour ago but things don’t always work out perfectly!
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.
The end of year is hurtling towards me at an alarming rate and if if it wasn’t for my love of the holiday season i’d be screaming for the breaks. Luckily that love is strong. I’m all ofr the food, family, friends, party times and gift giving at this time of year. it’s all my favourite tings at once and living in Australia means I also get sunshine.
It’s officially summer! Although in Melbourne you wouldn’t know it as it’s decided to be decidedly unsummery (it’s a word) to start off the season. I hope everyone is getting through the rain without any major damage! This week’s plans are full of salads, noodles, tacos and burgers because that’s what i’ve been into eating at the moment- lucky you.
This week I’ve got all the pretty colours planned for you! Keeping a variety of plant foods in your diet is so important. I usually aim for about 30 different plant foods each week. This might sound like a lot, but with the 5 meals in each meal plan this week you will easily reach that! My lovely friend Mel from the Nutrition Effect recommends 40, and if you can get 40 in 5 meals then 40 is super doable.
