Bone-based meaty broths are perfect for winter because of the vast array of health benefits they boast. This one is budget-friendly, easy to make and packed with nutrients. Serve it up this chilly season to keep the cold at bay in the yummiest way possible.
We take the humble breadcrumb-and-cheese topped baked gratin and give it an earthy autumnal twist. Turnips are really cheap and they are surprisingly delicious and add the best texture ever once cooked. We also love them in soups and stews, but this pear and turnip gratin is must for meat-free Monday this week.
So we thought making French toast from frozen waffles would be a great idea, and we weren’t disappointed! We decided to go with warm savoury flavours to complement the cooling weather. You don’t even have to make these French toast waffles from the frozen ones, we included a basic waffle recipe below if you’d rather make your own.
Dinner can literally be ready in 15 minutes with this tuna and pea pasta. We used orzo, those small little pieces of pasta shaped rice because it has the most amazing texture for a dish such as this. All you have to do is throw it all together.
Get your protein fix with this incredible mid-week bake. The spicy chicken is packed with the warm flavours of chilli, paprika, cumin and cinnamon. This dish is also budget-friendly and super comforting for the cooler weather.
Beautiful squashes are coming into season soon and there’s no reason you shouldn’t use the whole veggie. A butternut salad is great for autumn and winter because it can be served slightly warm and still taste super delicious. This salad is easy to make, makes use of rich, comforting ingredients such as pear and blue cheese, and doesn’t waste a scrap of butternut.
This meat-free meal is packed with plant protein and plenty of nutrients as well! And as if a grain salad for dinner isn’t delicious enough, toast your couscous in a frying pan for a few minutes before cooking for an intense nutty flavour that will carry your couscous tabbouleh to new heights.
If you are looking for a great appetiser the next time you have guests over, a cheesy focaccia always goes down well. We love it because people can grab a slice and walk around and mingle without needing a plate. And our meat-free roast veg and feta flatbread will be a hit all round.
This is the budget-friendly, vegetarian burger meal you’ve been waiting for. We have all the good things: potato wedges, a salad full of avocado and some scrumptious lentil burgers. Dinner is served!
How many of you have opened up your fridge only to find a few odd tomatoes, half an onion and maybe some leftover rice? Then you head to the freezer and find that there is even less to work with! Putting together a meal in the last days of the month needn’t be a dreary affair, with a few pantry staples and these quick-as-a-flash home-made sauces, dinner will be just as tasty as when the kitchen was still fully stocked after pay-day.
