Weekly Dinner Plan #1

I’m a nosy person by nature, and a lover of all things food, so it’s no surprise I’m always intrigued to know what other people eat. For anyone who eagerly questions colleagues every morning “so what did you have for dinner last night?” like it’s some hot gossip, this ones for you. Here’s what this weeks Dinner plan looks like:

Monday Steamed salmon flaked over a bed of sliced new potatoes, spinach and broccoli florets. Served with a honey and mustard dressing.

Tuesday Quick pasta arrabiata served with brown rice spaghetti (from Deliciously Ella Everyday Cookbook).

Wednesday Tortilla pizza base using the leftover arrabiata sauce, topped with roasted courgette, peppers, red onion and mushrooms. 

Thursday Steamed salmon fillet served with brown basmati rice, pak choi and fine beans, drizzled with a homemade sweet and spicy chilli tamari sauce.

Friday Out for dinner.

Saturday Quick black bean and spinach tomato pasta sauce served with brown rice spaghetti.

Sunday Either leftovers or whatever we fancy.

• I like to make sure we’re having a portion of oily fish, like salmon, at least twice a week. The omegas found within salmon are essential fatty acids that are so important for our brain and nerve function, as well as helping to lower the risk of heart disease and supporting our skin. Our favourite dish at the moment is simple steamed salmon (we do ours in foil boats in the oven for around 10-15 minutes) drizzled with a homemade sweet chilli tamari soy sauce and served with rice and greens.
• On Tuesday we're celebrating my Brother’s birthday and I wasn’t getting in from work until late, so we opted to make a quick arrabbiata with brown rice spaghetti. I use the leftover arrabbiata sauce to top my tortilla-base pizza the next day with roasted vegetables, or you can freeze the leftover sauce for even quicker mid-week meals.
• Sunday mornings usually call for a run with my Dad, so we like to make another quick tomato pasta sauce we can leave in a slow-cooker for dinner Saturday night. It’s full of black beans for plant-based protein and served with brown rice spaghetti which are great carbs for energy reserves.
