Chicky and avo salad with creamy mustrard dressing
Oh friends, it’s been too long! i have been so bad. Study has been intense. I just feel too guilty to blog. Anyway, here’s a simple chicky salad for you!
Baked fish with roasted tomato and pineapple salsa
I actually invented this in a dream, no joke, I woke up and told Ollie all about it and how bad I wanted to make it! A perfect, light, weekday meal. Dreaming of being somewhere tropical is a lovely study break.
Serves 2
Pumpkin, fetta and spinach salad
I love condiments. I’m all about dressing and sauces and syrups. So it’s beyond rare for me to have a salad without any dressing. (Isn’t the dressing the point of salad?!) But this is creamy and salty and sweet already, it needs no dressing. There is nothing to hide.
Serves 2
Asian noodles with tuna and corn
For us, there’s a night once or twice a week where we have run out of the meals we planned to make when we did the grocery shopping and we are scrapping the bottom of the fridge/ pantry. People get h-angry. Last night was one of these nights and our default meals -this, this, this, these and these - were all missing key ingredients.
This is what i scraped together and it turned out to be delicious ! Ps. just kidding about the cocktails.
Mango Salad
Summer food is all about lightness and freshness. And a lot of the time this means delicious and inventive salads. I love salads with fresh fruit in them or soft cheeses or nuts or beans or noodles. The possibilities are endless, who says you can’t make friends with salad?
This one is one of Mara’s mum’s recipes, we do a few varieties of it but this is the basic one. Serves 2.
Vegetabletarians - Week 1
Obviously, we don’t post everything we eat, usually because we’re too hungry for photos! But since we’re doing a vego month i wanted to tell you what we’ve eaten in the last week, so you know we’re not cheating and to give you some ideas too.
Caesar Salad- as blogged
Soup -an ugly mix of all the veggies that were about to go bad in the bottom of the fridge, mixed with a can a beans and some chilli, i’ll recipie a perfected version come winter
Mango Salad - to be blogged this afternoon kids!
Dr O Pizza - one of the meals that are half made already when you buy them, look it up, like i said we eat these weekly
Lentil, leek and sweet potato salad - made by Ol’s mum julie, look out for this, easy and yum and to be blogged
Garden Goodness Grill’d Burger - a healthy fresh Aussie burger chain, even when i’m not veggie i get this burger, a def fave
Pasta with salsa verde - we made this at Mara’s sisters place so no photo but no chance we won’t have it again by the end of summer!
Meanwhile for lunches it’s been hummus and tomato on grain toast mostly as well as left over soup. Breaky is muesli with skinny milk or yoghurt and sliced up banana. Not all too adventurous but I’m trying to be cheap as possible because i know they’ll be a financial lag between finishing work and finding a Saturday job while i study! More veggie ideas always appreciated!
Roast beetroot, brie and rocket pasta
I have realized that sometimes the simpler the meal the better, so this is me trying to cut back and save money and let the food speak for itself.
Serves 3
