My new thing is using curry pastes and a little stock or coconut cream to create the flavour and sauce. It’s so quick and easy and packs a huge flavour punch! You can make your own paste and freeze in portions or keep in the fridge if you plan on using it quickly, or just buy one. So many options to make your life tasty, healthy and easy.
WEEKLY MEAL PLANS WEEK 5
And it’s February! How’s the year going so far? Such an annoying question, because we all love to be reminded of how fast time passes don’t we? This week, for the majority of them, I’ve tried to make the recipes quick and easy to throw together after work. The whole making things easier for people when it comes to cooking healthier food is totally my vibe this year.
WEEKLY MEAL PLAN WEEK 3
Hello lovely people! I’m back with another week of meal suggestions for you! Once again we have 2 different plans, one for the vegos and one for the meat eaters. Each plan includes 5 recipes for dinner. Most of the recipes serve 4, so if you’re not serving 4 you’ll have some food left over for lunch. Lucky you! There’s also a bonus this week: Shopping list! A downloadable, easily printable PDF that tells you exactly what you need. Broken into sections such as Meat and or Dairy, Fresh Produce and Pantry items.
9 SALADS YOU CAN MAKE FRIENDS WITH
Despite me posting a curry recipe yesterday and complaining about the lack of Spring weather… it’s getting sunny this weekend and that means it’s time to get pumped about salads.
STEAK BURRITO BOWLS
As the weather warms up I’m in the mood for bowls of fresh food with crisp zingy flavours. And this bowl ticks all those boxes. It’s also getting closer to BBQ weather and this steak would be perfect on the BBQ.
TWICE COOKED MEATBALLS IN SPICY GOCHUJANG SUGO
Yeah, you read that right. That word is definitely not Italian is it? But sugo is. Gochujang is a a spicy fermented bean paste from Korea. And it’s pungent sweet and spicy notes give a totally new and really interesting twist to traditional spaghetti and meatballs. I know it sounds like weird fusion cooking but it’s full of flavour and defines ‘winter warmer’.
HARISSA AND AVOCADO CHICKEN BURGER
Spicy and lean chicken burgers make for a super easy any night of the week dinner. Full of protein, extra vegetables in the sauce and omega 3’s from the avocado. You can also serve them with some parsnip fries and a simple salad for a really well rounded meal.
CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN AKA FINGER-LICKIN-CHICKEN
Crispy, juicy, spicy finger-lickin’-chicken. This recipe is all kinds of good. The chicken is at once crispy and covered in a juicy glaze. It’s a little like eating fried chicken, but not fried, so also not like fried chicken. More like the best crispy baked chicken you will ever taste. Big call, but I’m backing myself on this one. I really like it, if you couldn’t tell.
