MONDAY
Green Chicken Bowls with Pine Nut Mayo – Recently I rekindled an old love… Pine Nut Mayonnaise.
The original idea came from one of my favourite Sydney chef’s Matt Moran of Sean’s Panaroma in Bondi Beach.
I can’t believe I forgot about it for years and years. But luckily I have a food blog to remind me!
It’s one of those simple ideas that really surprises with just how delicious the combination of 2 little ingredients can be.
Buttered pasta for my boys.

TUESDAY
Beautiful Burrito Bowls – Is this the same as wrestling with a traditional burrito the size of your head? Definitely not. But will these beautiful bowls keep your taste buds and your tummy happy without a dreaded burrito hangover? Absolutely!
This may seem too simple to be any good but don’t underestimate the power of a little salt and ground cumin to radically transform your everyday minced (ground) beef.
+ Tortillas for my carb lovers.

WEDNESDAY
Super Tender Broccoli – I love this broccoli with a poached egg and some home made mayo for breakkie. But lately, I’ve found myself doubling up for more super tender ‘broc’ with sardines or tuna and lashings of lemon juice for a simple supper.
+ Easy Almond Pizza for my boys.

THURSDAY
Zucchini Laksa – Laksa is the most delicious noodle soup that hails from Malaysia. It’s fragrant, it’s rich, it’s spicy. Plus there are noodles to slurp! Since focusing on eating grain-free and low carb, however, laksa has been off the menu at our place. But not any longer!
I was so excited when I had the idea to use some zucchini ‘noodles’ instead of the usual wheat or rice based laska noodles. It’s really that good!
+ Wok ready hokkien noodles for the boys.

FRIDAY
Meat ‘Diamonds’ – Earlier in the year I was talking to the other parents at the school bus stop about dinner (my favourite topic!). One of the Dads was feeling guilty because he had bought some pre-prepared meat balls. He said he loves meatballs but all the touching and rolling was just too fiddly.
So when I came across a recipe for lamb kibbeh in David Tannis latest book, I realized I’d found the meatball solution!
Instead of rolling the mixture into individual balls, why not just press it into the base of a dish and cut it into diamonds (or squares).
All the deliciousness of meatballs without the mess!
Love it when a plan comes together.
+ Pita for the boys.

SWEET TREAT
Quick Raspberry Yoghurt Mousse – You know those days when you’re in the mood for ‘something sweet’ but don’t feel like turning on the oven, or waiting very long? Then that’s when you need a quick, light dessert ‘treat’ like these little mousses! I love the tartness of yoghurt but you could always use whipped cream (or a combo of both) if you prefer a creamier treat.
