Weekly Eating Plan: Monday 2 February

When I started to write this week's eating plan I had a wee panic!  I have become really worried that I am going to run out of clean scrummy recipes to share with you all.  So I decided to spend a bit of time looking over the previous eating plans with the hope to get some inspiration.  This worked a treat and absolutely reminded me of all of the wonderful foodies that are out there sharing their culinary delights. Bon Appetit xx

Weekly Eating Plan: Monday 19 January

A good friend of mine shared with me one of their goals for 2015, which is to introduce unique meals to their dinner time. This got me thinking about how I can challenge myself in the kitchen this week. Before selecting each of the meals in this week's eating plan, I asked myself how is this recipe going to challenge me.

So this week I will challenge myself by mixing meats, making things that I have never made before, roasting meat that isn't chicken and constructing a clean eating version of one of my favourite takeaway meals.  I hope that this week's eating plan challenges you in all of the right ways, but most importantly brings your family together over a tasty meal. Bon Appetit xx
