TUESDAY
Chicken Schnitzel – everyone loves a good chicken schnitzel and it is so satisfying on nights when I have the time to make them from scratch. The flavour is just so much nicer. The recipe below has a clever tip to season the chicken before coating in flour.

WEDNESDAY
Asian Beef Rice Bowls – this is a fairly quick and easy dinner to make, and it is full of flavour. The strong flavours of the cooked mince work perfectly with some rice and steamed veggies, all served together in a bowl.

FRIDAY
Tacos– it’s not Taco Tuesday but Taco Friday instead. This meal is always a hit with kids, especially if they get to assemble the tacos themselves. Set out lots of fresh ingredients for your kiddos to add to their tacos to up the health factor.

SATURDAY
Prawn Fried Rice– Fried rice is such a quick dinner to throw together and everyone always loves it. Switch out the prawns for chicken, pork or make a vegetarian version if you’re not a fan of prawns.

SUNDAY
Cheeseburger Pasta Bake – Is it a cheeseburger or is it pasta bake? This dish is a little bit naughty but brings together the best of both dishes. The ultimate comfort food, and goes perfectly with a salad on the side.
