NOTE: Don’t feel like you’re supposed to make all these recipes. Choose just one to experiment with each week.
MONDAY
Chickpea ‘Chilli’
I love a good chilli con carne but sometimes a veggie chilli is what you need to hit the spot.
Traditionally chillies are made with black beans or red kidney beans but to be honest I prefer to break with tradition and use my favourite legumes. The humble chickpea!

TUESDAY
Chicken & Cashew Nut Stir Fry
This is one of my all-time favourite stir frys. I just love how the chicken, broccoli and cashews come together to make a super tasty meal in a bowl.

WEDNESDAY
Plan-B Spinach & Eggs
Last minute plan changes happen. So it pays to be prepared and have a plan-B recipe at the ready that is a) incredibly low effort b) delicious c) satisfying.
These green eggs tick all the boxes.

THURSDAY
Spiced Beef with Hummus
This is one of my all time favourite ways to use minced (ground) beef without any tomato products. It’s based on a Lebanese dish and is great with lamb as well.
Baharat is a wonderful Lebanese spice blend containing 7 different spices. It adds a gorgeous fragrance but if you can’t find it, see below for an easy alternative home made spice blend or just substitute ground cumin.

FRIDAY
Frozen Veg Oven Supper with Curry Mayo
Meet your new best friend.
Actually meet 2 new best friends.
First we have the oven supper.
It’s one of my favourite favourite types of meals.
Especially when it’s been a @*$# day and I want something minimal effort.
Just grab some frozen fish and frozen veggie rice. Pop it in the oven for 10 minutes. Mix up a quick 2-ingredient sauce.
And you have a deeply soul-satisfying dinner.

SWEET TREAT
Creamy Not-Rice Pudding
I love, love, love this idea as a simple dessert.
Basically plonk cottage cheese in a bowl then top with some sort of fruit and some sort of nuts. And it has all the creamy goodness of rice pudding – with that nubbly texture.
So many possibilities.
