MEAL PLAN #19


Hands up if you like snickers bars? Well, have I got a treat for you! Download Meal Plan #19 for a recipe to make homemade snickers bars. They are super easy to make, and taste amazing! Plus, they are so much better for you than the store bought version.

The menu for the week:

Lazy Monday Night Dinner - The name says it all :)

Thai Green Curry - We thought we would go green, rather than our usual red.

Odds & Ends Stir fry - I made this with the odds and ends we had in the fridge which desperately needs to be used. Hence the name.

Spanish Chickpeas - Anything with tomatoes and chickpeas is a favourite with Miss M.

Homemade Fish & Chips - A homemade kiwi classic (without the batter).

Spaghetti Bolognese - Another of Miss M's favourites. I aim to please :)

This week on the menu we have the following:

CHAI SPICED BLISS BALLS - The return of the bliss balls. I think that next time I will made a double recipe as these didn't last long.

PATATAS BRAVAS - This reminds me of our holiday in Barcelona a few years back. I have added chickpeas as a little twist.

STUFFED MARROW - A great recipe for the out of control zucchini's in your garden.

ALMOND & QUINOA SALAD - Make enough for lunch the next day. You will thank me for it.

CHINESE STEAMED FISH WITH COCONUT RICE - I love Chinese flavours combined with fish. Delicious.

MEXICAN SCRAMBLE - This is my dish of the week. It is so quick and easy to make, and uses only a handful of ingredients.

TANDOORI CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH PILAF  - I love eating off skewers! Except the last piece of chicken is always a pain to get.

Enjoy!

Meal Plan #17


And so we find ourselves in the middle of February. Has anyone else noticed the days are getting shorter, and the mornings darker?

This week we have for you:

Quick Thai Red Curry - We always have curry paste in the fridge, so this is a good go-to when I don't have any other dinner ideas.

Smoked Fish Potato Salad - My fish dishes are always timed for when my husband is on a night shift :)

Tom Gha Kai - I get this every now & then for a take away lunch when I'm at work, and love it, so I thought I would try making my own. Its delicious, but very filling, so you don't need a lot.

One-pot Mexican Chicken & Rice - I'm loving one-pot cooking at the moment.

Friday Night Pizza - Always a family favourite.

Homemade Sausage Sizzle - Ahhhh....the smell of a sausage sizzle is soooo good! My homemade sausages are really tasty, and served in a kumara 'bun' as a point of difference.

MEAL PLAN #16


Meal Plan #16 has some quick and easy recipes for you to make. I'm all about one pot cooking whenever possible, so I've got two for you this week.

WEEK 16:

Zucchini & Carrot Fritters - I have zucchini coming out of my ears at the moment, so did a shout out for recipes on my FB page, and one of you responded with zucchini & carrot fritters. This is what I came up with.

One-Pot Mediterranean Lamb - We're not big lamb eaters, but this dish is mmmmm....

Peanut Noodle Salad - I don't like my salads to have too much dressing, so I only added half the amount of dressing to the bowl. My husband dished his plate, and then added the rest of the dressing to his salad. He's the opposite to me, and likes LOTS of dressing :)

One-Pot Lebanese Chicken & Rice - A variation on the One-Pot Lemon & Chicken Rice from three weeks ago, and equally as tasty!

Zucchini & Corn Quesadillas -  Great flavours of summer.
