Foodie Friday: Zingy Quinoa Tabbouleh

#foodiefriday This week I was craving something fresh and with a bit of zing. This Quinoa Tabbouleh hit the spot. Combine parsley, mint, cucumber, tomato and cooked tricolour quinoa. Dress with good olive oil, lemon, S&P and spring onions (my little peeps don't do raw spring onion yet, but throw them in for some extra bite if they are to your taste!)

Food Prep Tips

Food Prep whenever you can. If I have an hour at home, tray bake some vegetables such as these gorgeous mini sweet potatoes and cauliflower florets. Toss in a splash of olive oil, cracked pepper and cumin. Bake at 180 degrees for 45-50min. Once cooled, they freeze really well so can be portioned up for quick lunches, or chopped up ready for an express frittata mid week. Job done 😀

#foodiefriday Whenever you do a traditional roast, always try to cook an extra tray of baked Vege and extra steamed greens. After a crazy day at clinic (like today!) this gets defrosted and eaten with any turkey rissoles I have in the freezer too or the vegetables get chopped up and turned into a quick frittata. Forward plan your food prep 👍

Foodie Friday: Tray Baked Dinners of Easy 'Planovers'

#foodiefriday Tray bake dinners are great when you have a bit of time to cook lots at once. Ther is potatoes, carrots, cauliflower and broccoli chopped up at roughly equal size, chicken drumsticks on top. Add your favourite herbs and spices. Put in a moderate oven for 60-75mins until everything is cooked through. Plenty of 'planovers' for the next day, or freeze portions for easy lunches.
