One of the most difficult times as a vegetarian is big family feasts like Christmas when the table is piled with sides and salads, but the main dish is usually meat – in times like this I turn to stuffed vegetables and these stuffed zucchini are my new favourite. If you haven’t tried stuffing a zucchini yet then you definitely should!
Since arriving back from (mostly) sunny Europe to freezing cold Melbourne I’ve been all about the hearty, warming winter meals. This tofu tikka masala really hit the spot and helped me feel a little less sad about my holidays being well and truly over!
Stuffed vegetables are often my go-to for meals where lots of sides and salads were being served and everyone else is having some kind of meat. They are hearty and warming, but also easy to prepare in advance, making them an excellent mid-week winter meal idea. This time around I’ve gone for a lentil stuffed capsicum, and it sure is delicious!
Curries are one of my favourite meals given they are easy to make in bulk and freeze so there is always something tasty & nutritious ready for me at a moment’s notice. This summer vegetable curry makes the most of the gorgeous produce around at the moment, pairing them with some fresh flavours to really make them shine. It is also ready in no time, making it the perfect mid week meal!
Black beans are one of my pantry staples, I keep them on hand for quick Mexican dinners and healthy, delicious salads like this Mexican bean salad! I whipped up this for a BBQ at a friend’s place and it was gobbled up in no time. It’s super quick and easy to make and doesn’t even require turning on the oven which is always a win in summer. I recommend you give it a try!
