NOTE: Don’t feel like you’re supposed to make all these recipes. Choose just one to experiment with each week.
MONDAY
Chinese Noodle Not-Bolognese
This unusual take on bolognese was one of my first success stories with my slow cooker.
It’s just 3 ingredients to muster in the morning. And then I use the slow cooker to steam some noodles (for the boys) and veg (for me) for literally 5 minutes before we sit down to eat.
Of course if you don’t have a slow cooker – you can easily pull the whole meal together in a frying pan or wok in 15 minutes.

TUESDAY
Okonomiyaki is often described as a Japanese Pancake usually made with cabbage and a flour based batter.
In Japan there are restaurants that actually specialize in this savoury treat.
My humble spinach version makes no claims about replicating the original. So if you’re a purist, better skip ahead to the next recipe.

WEDNESDAY
Credit where credit is due. The idea for this came from Dhanya, the daughter of one of the founding members of my Naturally Healthy Club coaching group.
I’ll let Supraja (Dhanya’s Mum) tell you about it…
“This (Grilled Cheese Tofu) has to be the most brilliant recipe I have seen in recent times. My daughter watched the video with me and insisted we try it. She also suggested another version with pizza sauce and mozzarella. We tried both and loved it. Only problem- I made two servings and there were the four of us so there was a bit of fighting in the house”

THURSDAY
Surprise Chicken & Broccoli Bake
The surprise in this recipe is just how tasty these two everyday ingredients can become. All you need to do is give them a blast in a hot oven (or air fryer) and then serve them with a creamy dip come sauce and some pistachios for crunch.

FRIDAY
Fish with Lime & Miso Butter
Ever since I realised that you don’t need to make them in advance, I’ve been getting more and more into flavoured butters.
I mean it’s butter with extra flavours. And it only takes a few minutes to make the most amazing sauce.
What’s not to love about that?

SWEET TREAT
Chocolate and Nut Butter
OK so I know you don’t really need a recipe for this, but I thought I’d write it for you anyway.
This is my latest go-to when I feel like having dessert on a Saturday night.
It only takes a second to pull together and satisfies that urge for something to round out the meal. Without loading you down with sugar and carbs.
