MONDAY
Japanese Scrambled Eggs
If you don’t usually think to make scrambled eggs for dinner, these Japanese Scrambled Eggs (aka Miso Eggs) are about to revolutionize your world.
They’re creamy and comforting without containing any dairy. But more importantly they pack the biggest flavour punch. It all comes down to my secret magic ingredient. Ready to find out what it is?
Good old miso paste.

TUESDAY
Cabbage ‘Chow Mein’
I used to love noodles but these days I much prefer to have a big bowl of cabbage rather than some carby stodge.
Which is where the idea for this dish came from. What if I used a bag of pre-chopped coleslaw mix and used it instead of noodles. Lets just say you *have* to try this.
The cabbage and carrot cook down into a perfect soft ‘noodle’ consistency deeply flavoured from the oyster sauce. You’ll wish you’d bought an extra bag of cabbage!

WEDNESDAY
Chilli Chicken with Tahini Sauce
I may be more than slightly obsessed with tahini. It’s just so delicious.
Especially when used as a creamy balance to a spicy tomato sauce like in this simple chicken dish.
And while I adore this chicken version, it’s equally amazing with salmon or other fish, chickpeas or eggplant.

THURSDAY
Fast Roast Tandoori Salmon
I’ve completely changed my tune about cauliflower rice.
I used to think it was more effort than it was worth. But ever since I discovered frozen cauliflower rice in my supermarket, new ideas keep popping into my head.
Like this simple Indian-inspired tray bake.

FRIDAY
Easiest Baked Bolognese
This is my go-to bolognese. It doesn’t quite have the same depth of flavour as my Irishman’s 2-day ragu, but between you and me, it’s pretty close.
I make a big batch about once a month and freeze in jars ready for quick meals for my boys when my Irishman and I are having something more adult.

SWEET TREAT
Everyday Almond Pancakes
Pre-COVID I made these pancakes every day for my boys. These days my Irishman is in charge of weekday breakfasts so they get sausages, boiled eggs and of course potatoes.
But when it comes to weekends they always request pancakes. Sometimes they have them rolled up with crunchy brown sugar in the middle. But lately it’s been all about the maple syrup.
