NOTE: Don’t feel like you’re supposed to make all these recipes. Choose just one to experiment with each week.
MONDAY
Cauli ‘Sushi’ Bowls
Seriously, if you are any sort of fan of Japanese food, you *have* to try these bowls of goodness.
While cauliflower gives them a different texture to your usual rice, I actually prefer it because it’s lighter and less filling which means there is more stomach space for the most delicious parts – the fish and mayo and the seaweed.

TUESDAY
Magic Sausage & Cabbage Supper
Cabbage is one of the most underrated vegetables. It’s Low Carb, super nutritious, generally available year round, keeps in the fridge for weeks and weeks, and if cooked properly it’s super delicious. I love it raw shaved into salads or ‘slaw.
But it’s even better when cooked down into a soft pile that’s sort of like a big bowl of fettuccine. Waistline-friendly comfort food at it’s best!

WEDNESDAY
Spinach Okonomiyaki
Okonomiyaki is often described as a Japanese Pancake usually made with cabbage and a flour based batter.
In Japan there are restaurants that actually specialize in this savoury treat.
My humble spinach version makes no claims about replicating the original. So if you’re a purist, better skip ahead to the next recipe.

THURSDAY
Amazing Roast Broccoli & Chicken Caesar Bowls
Roast broccoli is one of my all time favourite things to eat. I’d take it over roast spuds any day (although the men in my house are firmly in the potato camp). It’s especially tasty when cooked in a hot oven like this because you get the lovely charred crispy bits on the outside. Plus its quicker to cook. So even if you’re not a Caesar fan, I really encourage you to try the broccoli!

FRIDAY
Seared Tuna and Cherry Tomatoes
The inspiration for this dish was the wonderful southern French salad, Niçoise. The traditional salad is quite hearty, with tuna boiled potatoes, green beans, capers, anchovies, olives and boiled eggs. Way more than 5 ingredients. This is my minimalist version. You can serve the tuna as a whole steak or tear the cooked tuna into chunks, mix it with the tomato, capers and rocket and drizzle over some mayonnaise.

SWEET TREAT
The Worlds EASIEST Apricot & Almond Cheesecake
It’s in my enthusiastic nature to speak in hyperbole. But in the case of this cheesecake idea the hype is totally justified.
Seriously you get all the creamy cheesy goodness of a cheesecake WITHOUT having to mix or bake a single thing (unless you count roasting some almonds as baking).
I adore the combo of apricot jam and almonds because I have lots of nostalgia for apricot jam made with my Pops home grown apricots.
