5 Healthy 5-Ingredient Dinners: Week 20

NOTE: Don’t feel like you’re supposed to make all these recipes. Choose just one to experiment with each week.

MONDAY

Yuuummy Spiced Tomato Soup

The best part is that this simple soup is made with ingredients that keep in your pantry for months (if not years) so it’s a great little recipe to have in your ’emergency meal’ arsenal.

TUESDAY

Taco Tuesday Bowls

I first made these taco bowls with some leftover pulled pork that was amazing. However I’m just as happy with this simple weeknight option. Although it does all depend on the quality of your hot sauce.

My favourite is a smoky chipotle that has a bit of sweetness but you could go for tabasco or even sriracha. Just add a little at a time. It’s easy to add more heat but difficult to subtract!

WEDNESDAY

Lemony Easy Eggs

There’s something about creamy things and lemon that is just soo soo delicious.

So after getting excited about my ?Lovely Lemony Ragu?, took like 2 seconds for the brain-wave to try it in my totally inauthentic cauliflower rice ‘not-risotto’.

It’s so good it’s making me hungry just thinking about it.

I call it ‘easy eggs’ but basically it’s scrambled eggs with cauliflower rice in it. Easy eggs sounds much nicer don’t you think?

THURSDAY

Salmon, Pea & Prosciutto Oven Supper

Have you ever got to the end of a long day and wished that dinner would just cook itself?

Me too.

And while I haven’t been able to create a robot that could do that for me, I do know the next best thing.
It’s called the Oven Supper and here’s the idea…
1. Put some protein and veggies on a baking tray.
2. Pop it in the oven and set your timer.
3. Take some precious time to do something nice for yourself.
4. When the timer goes, sit down and eat.

Seriously dinner CAN be this simple. And delicious.

FRIDAY

Creamy Mushroom, Beef & Almond Pies

A while back, I was flicking through the ?Bourke Street Bakery? book, fondly remembering their pies, when inspiration struck!

Surely there was a way to make a pie that would be just as delicious and comforting without all the carbs.

Or the effort that goes with making pastry. And my friend, there is!

By using a combo of almond meal and flaked almonds you get a pot pie that ticks all the boxes. Especially the minimal effort one.

SWEET TREAT

Chocolate Truffles

So many fancy chocolate shop chocolates are actually based on a basic ‘truffle’ recipe. And the thing is it’s soo simple. Just chocolate and cream. Of course there’s no need to tell your friends how easy these are to make…
