Every issue we ’ ll wrap up what we ’ re cooking , watching , listening to , or reading , to share the love with our wonderful community ( that ’ s you !).
For an easy work lunch , I ’ m obsessed with this fridge clear-out salad . I throw together salad leaves , shredded carrot , avocado , canned tuna , canned edamame beans ( trust me , they ’ re delicious ) and leftover brown rice , then dress with my favourite roasted sesame dressing . If I ’ m feeling fancy , I ’ ll add
some shredded nori sheets and fried shallots . 10 / 10 delicious ! – Brooke
Everyone needs to stop what they ’ re doing and make this Slow-cooker Beef Rendang from the Woolworths Fresh magazine ( July , 2023 ). Be prepared – it feeds a village ! – Angelo
We recently became proud new owners of a BBQ , so loving a variety of vegies chargrilled alongside steak and fish . You can ’ t go past roasted potatoes and pumpkin too . Bonus points for leftovers that feature in salads for lunch ! – Sarah
On the menu … verdura . A tribute to Nonna ’ s recipe of Italian vegetables . – Emma
My mushroom pasta is an easy mid-week dinner that fills my teenage son up ! I cook a mixture of mushrooms in butter and EVOO with loads of garlic and chopped parsley . Toss the sauce through fettucine and some leftover pasta cooking water ( the secret to keeping it ‘ saucy ’ and not dry ) and finish with shaved parmesan – deliziosa ! – Andrea
I ’ m loving salmon tacos ! I sprinkle paprika , oregano , onion and garlic powder over a piece of salmon , pan fry it in lots of EVOO , then throw it in a couple of taco shells with coleslaw ( bag of pre-chopped coleslaw + julienned green apple + lemon juice + yoghurt ) and some frozen corn kernels that I pan fry until crispy . So quick and tasty ! – Melissa
Burrito bowls are on high rotation in our house ! I cook rice , beans and corn with Mexican spices and top with refried beans , corn chips , avocado , Greek yoghurt , tomato and a sprinkle of cheese and coriander . Simple , delicious and nutritious ! – Tegan
I love a one-pot meal and the Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole from RecipeTin Eats is as wholesome as it is comforting . I make a few modifications , such as swapping the butter for olive oil , using frozen onion ( such a time-saver !) and making it gluten free to suit my dietary requirements . I also add an extra 1½ cups of cauliflower rice . – Tanya
