MONDAY
3+ Ingredient Magic Chickpea Salad – The first time I made this chickpea salad it was a revelation.
I couldn’t believe that just opening a can of chickpeas and combining it with lemon juice and parnesan cheese could be sooo delicious.
I instantly wanted to make it again for dinner that night.
Which is always a good sign.
Seriously healthy meals don’t get much easier than this.

TUESDAY
Quick Chicken with Parsley Walnut Salsa – I am so in love with nut salsas at the moment. I just adore how you can make a fresh sauce with the beautiful crunch of roast nuts. So it becomes both sauce and textural interest.
I also love that they’re super quick to make. Just chop some herbs and nuts while you’re cooking the rest of the dinner. Stir in some nice peppery extra virgin olive oil and either lemon or vinegar.
Yum yum yum!

WEDNESDAY
The World’s Easiest Egg & Bacon Pie – This pie has it all… Creamy, cheesy eggs. Smoky, salty bacon. Chopped chives for freshness.
And the worlds simplest pie crust.
Plus it’s incredibly versatile.
I’m just as happy eating a slice for breakfast as I am for lunch and dinner. It travels well so is perfect for picnics or for making work lunches a little special.

THURSDAY
The Magic Green Sausage Supper – Years ago I created a super easy tray bake with root veg and sausages that I called the ?‘Magic’ Sausage Supper?. But after my diabetes diagnosis and turning down the Low Carb path, I forgot about Sausages Suppers.
Until one day I had some sausages and a cabbage which needed eating. The result was my ? Magic Sausage & Cabbage Supper? which I loved even more than the original.
In this recipe I’ve evolved the idea even more using green veg AND serving it with pesto. Talk about a flavour explosion. Without sacrificing any of the ease of the original recipe.

FRIDAY
Fast Roast Tandoori Salmon – Love how you just plonk everything in the oven and set a timer and then dinner is ready with practically no effort. The secret to keeping it quick is to use the hottest setting in your oven and not waiting for the oven to completely pre heat.
That way the food starts cooking at the lower temperature and then speeds up at the end. Bakers call this cooking in a ‘rising’ oven and it’s a fantastic ninja trick to get the speedy benefits of high temp cooking without the risk of burning.

SWEET TREAT
How to Host a Chocolate Tasting – One of the secret weapons I’ve developed for making life easier when I’m entertaining is to host a chocolate tasting for dessert. I use to sample chocolate and biscuits (cookies) on a regular basis for a living.
And had the inspiration that tastings could be fun to do with your friends. Not to mention easy to prepare. It’s literally dessert in 10 seconds.
