This week’s meal plans are coming at you from LA, I’ve been here for the weekend visiting a friend – check out my Instagram if you want to see what I’ve been up to (mostly eating delicious things!). Luckily, it’s easy to eat loads of healthy delicious things in LA;)
Hello from sunny California! It’s so nice to be in summer again, I’m spending loads of time soaking up the sunshine in my sister’s backyard while hanging with nieces and nephew. It’s been lovely.
Why hello there spring you have well and truly sprung this week, just in time for me to jet off to the other hemisphere and skip to autumn. There’ll still be meal plans coming your way though!
It’s time to prepare for the week ahead and as it’s basically Spring now I’m so ready to embrace the new produce that’s arriving on the shelves. But in a way that’s still going to keep me warms as Melbourne’s weather lags behind it’s foliage.
 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 just realised this week that I only have 3 weeks left in Melbourne before I go. Which also means 3 more weeks of winter recipes (even if the signs of spring have begun) before I’m back and it’s spring time! So let’s lean into the wintery vibes with this weeks meal plans shall we? Turn the oven on.
I’m going to use this meal plans post to make a bit of a commitment today. A commitment to something I’ve been feeling a little uncomfortable about for a while. You know that feeling you get when your attitude towards something and your behaviour don’t match up? It’s called cognitive dissonance and we all experience it a lot. We can use this feeling in one of two ways: we can change the attitude (decide we don’t actually care about the thing we said we cared about) or change our behaviour. I’m going to change my behaviour, and that’s never that easy.
It’s that time again. The time when I basically share my cravings with you and call them meal plans. There’ slots of colour and variety in store for you this week and you’ll easily make your gut healthy quota of 30 different plant foods for the week, high five yourself. Or someone else, some one else works too.
I’m going to ban myself from talking about the weather at the start of these posts. Have I already failed by announcing that? Oh well, from here on out anyway! This week I’m feeling seafood and greens. I’m going a little lighter on the noodles as I really got obsessed last week! Not abandoning them completely thoguh because I am who I am.
So 1 degree is apparently a thing we have to deal with in the mornings now. How is my memory of the seasons so short that each year I’m like, since when does it get this cold in Melbourne? And this weather has me turning my oven on as often as possible. Multi tasking heating is a great thing.
