Mexican Meatballs
Don’t you just love meatballs? I make them at least once every 2 weeks (sometimes more) so I’m always playing around with new flavour combos to add excitement to the humble meatball.
Vietnamese Beef Salad
This is one of my go-to dinners when I’m looking for something fast and fresh. I just love the combo of lime juice and fish sauce for bringing boring old steak to life.
Lovely Lemon Ragu
My boys love a good old bolognese so I’m always thinking of ways to freshen it up so we aren’t getting bored.
Aussie Burger Bowls
One of my new favourite convenient ingredients is vacuum packed cooked beets. I can’t tell you how much I love them.
Beautiful Burrito Bowls
Is this the same as wrestling with a traditional burrito the size of your head? Definitely not.
Cherry Meatballs
You heard it here first folks.
Balsamic Meatballs with Ricotta
I have this weird mental meal planning rule. Because my Irishman loves cooking steak on the weekends (and because he is very good at it) I generally don’t plan steak during the week.
Quick Smoky Beef & Aubergine
I hate to play favourites. But if someone were to force me to choose my favroutite spice, it would have to be Smoked Paprika.
Chinese Noodle Not-Bolognese
In the last few months I’ve done a complete backflip on my thoughts about my slow cooker.
15-Minute Goulash
I know what you’re thinking…
Plan-B Dry Curry
Ever heard of a dry curry? Me neither until one my my coaching clients Julia posted a photo in our group.
Sausage, Broccoli & Chilli Bowls
A few weeks ago my Irishman was telling Fergal about the time he had his first real Italian pizza. In Napoli. I was surprised to hear him say that his favourite topping then (and now) was sausage and broccoli.
Flexitarian Fajitas
If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food, this is not the recipe for you.
Quick Taco Bowls with Lime & Cashew Sauce
If you’re dairy-free (even if you aren’t) you’re going to love, love, love this Lime Cashew Sour Cream Substitute Sauce.
Broccoli & Bacon Bowls
Lately I’ve been having loads of fun playing around with frozen veg. Not only are they super convenient, they’re also so inexpensive!
Macadamia Satay
OK I know what you’re going to think when you look at the ingredients list…
Mushroom, Sausage + Feta Hash
This is one of those fab little one pot meals that is equally welcome on an ordinary Wednesday night as it is for Sunday bunch.
Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry
This is one of my all time favourite week night dinners.
Chorizo with Kale
Inspired by my favourite food writer, Nigel Slater in his latest book the Kitchen Diaries II.
Beaut Beef & Blue Cheese
I’ll let you in on a secret…
Quick Steak & Rocket Salad
Inspired by a lunch I had at Matricinella on a trip to Rome.
Taco Tuesday Bowls
Before I started following my own meal plans we were having ‘Taco Tuesday’. Every week.
Egg & Bacon Tacos
We’ve been having taco Tuesday for a few months now and the boys are really loving it.
Kale Caesar Salad
Inspired by the talented guys at Mocan & Green Grout – one of my fave cafes in Canberra. If you aren’t a kale fan, see the variations below for alternatives. There are endless possibilities.
