Weekly Eating Plan: Monday 15 December

You may remember a recipe I posted a few eating plans ago, Haloumi and Strawberry Salad, this salad started something pretty special for the Sellars household - fruit for dinner is the pick of the bunch right now. This week's eating plan is full of super easy meals that feature fresh herbs and summer fruits that are loaded with nutrients for a healthy mind and body. Bon Appetit xx
