Take the stress out of cooking and enjoy your summer

It’s officially summer. You may find yourself moving a little bit slower, enjoying the outdoors a little bit more and smiling a lot more. How could you not with warmer temperatures, BBQs and quality time spent with family and friends?

The summer season is NOT the time to stress in the kitchen over your next meal. Don’t get bogged down by complicated recipes or ridiculously long prep times. These 7 easy weeknight summer dinners require minimum time and effort from you but are sure to impress.

Why should I eat fresh this summer?

We’re all busy- between work, family and other commitments it’s easy to see why many people can put healthy eating on hold. However, in the summer months, there’s no excuse! Many more vegetables and fruits are in season, which can give you dinnertime inspiration. Plus,  it’s so much easier to eat loads of different vegetables and fruits when you know they’re fresh!

When vegetables and fruits are in season, they’re better for you. When you add preservatives and chemicals to keep packaged goods from going off, you’re no longer eating the freshest veg you could be.

Monday: Quinoa Salad

A spring salad to boot. Cook the quinoa and everything else is raw- packed with nutrients, vitamins, minerals and flavour!

Tuesday: Rainbow Tabouleh

This dish truly says summer! Packed full of couscous, cucumber, red pepper and more- there’s nothing more refreshing than a tabouleh?!

Wednesday: Spinach and Tomato Flatbread

This flatbread recipe is super simple and darn delicious. Simply grab a flatbread and top it with chopped spinach, tomatoes, pepper, grelot onions, basil and mozzarella. What more can you want in the mid-week meal?

Thursday: Early Summer Risotto

You can’t go wrong with a summer risotto! Filled with crunchy broad beans, peas and topped off with rocket, this is one way to get your greens.

Friday: Stovetop Lasagne

Enjoy this stovetop lasagne, a little twist on the traditional lasagne, which can sometimes feel like a little bit of an investment of time and effort. This stovetop version is fun to assemble and doesn’t require any oven time, so supper can be on the table in minutes.

Saturday: Smashed Potato and Fixins

Comfort food for the soul. Smashed sweet and new potatoes with plenty of fixin’s like sautéed leeks, cherry tomatoes, radishes and rocket. Served with a dollop of yoghurt or grated cheese, this meal goes down a treat!

Sunday: Asian Noodle Salad

A scrumptious Asian noodle salad packed full of beetroot, mouli, carrots and more. All combined with a gorgeous chilli dressing, it makes for an interesting and tasty summer salad.
