This week on the menu we have:

Balinese Chicken Curry - I am looking forward to this dinner the most this week. Yum!

Salmon with Jacket Kumara - This works equally as well with jacket potatoes, or mash.

Fried rice - Add diced chicken breast for a non-vegetarian option.

Vegetarian Chilli - This will be served sans avocado as I refuse to pay $7 for one!

Chickpea burgers - Serve with wraps as a lighter option to burger buns.

Sushi - We will make a salmon version, and a chicken version as my husband isn't the biggest seafood fan.

Brrrr... I think winter has finally hit!

This week we have a few winter warmers for you to enjoy:

Chicken & Leek pie - Save your leftover roast chicken meat and use it for this. Two dinners from one bird is pretty good going.

Jamie's Green Chilli - A favourite of ours that we haven't cooked in ages! This is a great recipe to cook when you have an abundance of green capsicums in the fridge.

Spanish Chickpeas - I'm not sure I'll ever get sick of this dish.

Quick Red Curry - I like to load my Thai curries with lots of vegetables.

Bacon Stampot - A little twist on a family classic

Almond Coated Chicken Nuggets - One for the little (and big!) kids in the family.

This week we have:

Tom Yum Soup - Always a favourite, hence its regular appearance on our meal plans.

Beef Bourguignon - This is the first time I've ever made this, and it was delicious!!

Homemade Sausage Sizzle - The weather is still warm enough to fire up the BBQ, so we're taking full advantage!

Red Curry Pork Pie - Make a big family sized pie, or smaller individual pies if you prefer.

Butter Chick-Peas - Replace the chickpeas with chicken if you would prefer not to have a vegetarian dinner.

Roast Chicken - Ah, the classic roast. Keep the left over carcass and make your own chicken stock/bone broth. It's super easy.

I've changed the format of my meal plan slightly, to fit in with my busy schedule. From now on, the shopping list page will be left blank for you to fill in what you need. I hope you don't mind?!

This week on the menu we have the following:

Mexican Scramble - Eggs, eggs, glorious eggs!

Chinese Fried 'Quinoa' - This is fast becoming a family favourite. Although Miss M isn't digging it as much as us!

Homemade Baked Beans - I recommend making a double batch and sticking half in the freezer.

Pork San Choy Bau - Mmmmmm...I'm looking forward to this dinner.

Tahini Roast Potatoes & Kale - This would work just as well with spinach instead of kale.

Chinese Steamed Fish with Coconut Rice - Yum!!

This week we have:

Spaghetti Bolognese - Always a favourite. We like to make a double batch of mince and put half in the freezer.

Corn & Zucchini Fritters - A lovely reminder of summer.

Sushi Bowl - You don't have to worry about your sushi rolling skills with this dinner!

Bombay Potatoes & Peas - Hold back on the chilli if the kids are keen on it. Otherwise this is delicious.

Odds & Ends Stir-fry - A great way to use up all the vegetable odds & ends kicking about in the fridge.

Mediterranean Baked Kumara - Mmmmm... I love the crispy skin the baked Kumara gets in this dish.

MORROCAN QUINOA SALAD - You could buy a pre-made Morrocan seasoning if you want to save some extra time.

LEEK & PEA PASTA - This recipe and Chicken & Leek pie are my go-to Leek recipes. What are yours?

FRITTATA LOAF - Nice and easy for hubby or the kids to whip up.

DINNER PLATTER - For those lazy, non-cooking nights.

SAUSAGE & PASTA BAKE - Because kids love sausages & pasta!

REFRIED BEAN & CORN QUESADILLAS - Every time I type "Quesadilla' I have to double check I've spelt it right. She's a funny wee word :)

We have a short meal plan this week, as we're off the Wellington for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday - yay!

On the menu this week we have:

Roast Pumpkin, Kumara & Coriander Soup - A hearty, warming soup as we head into the cooler months. Make a double batch and stick half in the freezer.

Japanese Meatballs - Deceptively filling for a light looking meal.

Spanish Chickpeas - This is always well received in our house.

Friday Night Pizza - On a Thursday... I'm kicking off my birthday weekend with a tasty homemade pizza.
