NOTE: Don’t feel like you’re supposed to make all these recipes. Choose just one to experiment with each week.
MONDAY
Just dice some firm tofu – toss through a little Tajin seasoning (flavour explosion blend of dried lime juice, chilli powder and salt) and you have a seriously delicious protein.
Then the only thing to complete the meal is add some veggies and a drizzle of a tasty sauce like say, sour cream.
And your magic meal is ready before you’ve even had time to think.

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
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.
I always have eggs in the house (because chickens). But even before my poultry fancier days, I always had eggs.
And I always have spinach in the freezer.

THURSDAY
Lamb Fillet with Mint and Hummus
I think my favourite way to eat hummus is like this, with tender meaty lamb fillet and some fresh mint. You can get pretty good hummus from the supermarket, but if you feel like making your own, puree together a can of chickpeas with a clove of garlic and 3 tablespoons each of lemon juice, tahini and liquid from the chickpeas can.
Too easy.
If lamb fillets are hard to find, chicken thigh fillets, sausages or even steak will all work.

FRIDAY
‘Plan-B’ Green Bean Nicoise Bowls
I still have some residual childhood issues around frozen beans. But at Marks suggestion that freezing technology has significantly improved over the last few decades (am I really that old?) I decided to risk it.
The results were nothing short of astonishing.

SWEET TREAT
I saw a ‘not rice’ pudding recipe in one of the Greek Kitchen Stories cookbooks using cottage cheese and Greek yoghurt, it sparked some of those childhood memories and it wasn’t long until a tub of cottage cheese found its way into my shopping trolley.
