TUESDAY
Grilled Chicken Wraps – These chicken and corn wraps sound delicious with a coriander and lime infused sour cream dressing. Wraps are such a great dinner option for when you want something healthy that is also quick and easy.

WEDNESDAY
Pork Fried Rice – Fried rice has to be one of those family meals that ticks all the boxes – healthy, quick to make, able to include heaps of veggies and a meal that the majority of people like. This recipe below uses BBQ pork, but fried rice is so versatile that any type of protein would work, or you could make a vegetarian version with tofu!

Tandoori Chicken Tacos – A soft chicken taco recipe with delicious tandoori and lemon yoghurt flavours. Everyone will be wanting more!

SUNDAY
Chicken and Roast Pumpkin Pasta Bake – With chicken, baby spinach leaves, roast pumpkin, macaroni and a cheesy sauce, this recipe is pasta bake heaven. I like to serve it with a side salad or steamed veggies.

BAKING
Chocolate Weetbix Slice – This chocolate slice is addictive! I keep making it, and everyone in my family loves it. It is very moorish and hard to stop at just one piece.
