Hi there – Captain Obvious here – Yes – we are all busy and often we simply don’t have time or are too tired to make dinner. Allow me to find you a quick little trick that will save you time, money and a case of the guilts. The Sunday Wednesday is the perfect way to be efficient and to stay on track for your food for the week!
SUNDAY
Buy all your veges and then chop them up immediately when you get home. One container for drier veges and one container that is a mix of dry and wet veges.
Try and take more from the wet/dry container as it won’t last as long in terms of freshness!
WEDNESDAY
It’s likely time to make some extra food and during the middle of the week – time is precious! Add the remaining contents of the wet/Dry container into a stir-fry to ensure you get use of all the contents of the container! This will significantly reduced the time it takes to make that meal!!!
There are times when a delicious chocolate smoothie just doesn’t seem to hit the spot. It’s like it just doesn’t taste cold enough or there isn’t that fresh flavour that makes it feel like a refreshing drink to match the summer heat. Behold the Ginger Green Smoothie. Now this one has Banana in it so we recommend that you have it within your metabolic window! That ginger flavour just brings such a great summer flavour and not to mention you are having a decent serving of vegetables while drinking this!
Breakfast eggs and chickpeas in tomato.
Note: more spices/herbs can be added to your liking. Also add any vegetables you desire. Bacon can be added for a non-vegetarian alternative.
This is a delicious Protein shake recipe submitted by the amazing Cass. Cass was our ladies champion for 2017 so you know you’re in good hands when it comes to eating something winning đŸ™‚
Print Recipe Morning Glory While travelling in Vietnam – I am not exactly the most adventurous person when it comes to trying new foods. I am pretty set in that I don’t do hot and I don’t do spicy. Odd name? Yeah.. I’ll pass. However eventually we tried Morning Glory which is the fancy name…
This recipe came about because I *was* diligently organising myself to do meal prep and I then realised my diligence was rubbish as the turkey mince I had bought smelled weird and I wasn’t going going to chance it. No big deal. No meat – I figured it was a good opportunity to vegetarian it up! I had a look at what I had in the fridge and pantry and decided to combine a new flavours that I don’t instinctively think of and BAM – This meal was born. So glad as it tastes amazingly good. Ideal of vegetarians or anyone who wants to add turkey mince in there or have the protein component of the meal as an addition!
I was never really one to like Sweet Potato. I think it comes back to when I was a kid and mum used to use brown potatoes for most meals. I would steal bits from the chopping board and yes.. eat the potato raw. Weird? Probably!
Anyway, this recipe has shown me the light of how easy cooking can be and how delish sweet potato can taste!
Thankfully heading to Vietnam as much as I do has opened me up to some AMAZINGLY awesome and tasty plant based meals. This salad is ever so fresh and tangy and is very straightforward to make AND it goes as a side for so many other dishes!
Garry has submitted this awesome recipe for us all! Huzzah! Served ideally as a side to compliment a nice piece of poached chicken breast. This is an easy yet very delicious meal. Try it!
This side dish is a fantastic alternative to rice or pasta for dishes. You can add additional garlic or spices to taste also. I add in Red Kidney Beans just to get more more low energy carbs and protein into my meals. You don’t taste them and they do add some colour! You can also add some spring onions too! Be Creative!
There’s nothing like walking into a kitchen where you can smell the deliciousness of what you’re cooking. Pumpkin is just one of those foods that likes to tease you when it’s almost ready!
Now this particular recipe is sparse on the ingredients but plentiful in taste. There are other veges you can add to this but the core elements will be Brown Onions, Carrots and Pumpkin.
Now as to how long you cook this yummy meal is going to be dependent on how good your oven is and also how thick you cut your pumpkin. It will take some practice with what works best with regards to time and cutting so practice makes perfect!
Great food in my mind means that it is versatile in its consumption. Can I mix and match it with different tastes and ingredient s and still get a healthy and nutritious meal that is in line with my goals? You know.. that sort of thing!
Well this salad is pretty much this. Super easy to make. Super easy to store. Super easy to match it up with other flavours and still get a great tasting meal.
I present to you – The Epic Super Salad.
