This is definitely not my best daily dinners posts. The last two weeks have been really really hectic and busy with moving and starting summer clinical. All my normal routines were disturbed!! So I missed a few photos here and there.
may 19th, 2013 – rotato (and other Summer Night Market treats, blog post to come soon)
I have no clue what I had for dinner on May 20th. Fail.
may 21st, 2013 – toasted submarine sandwich

You will see a lot of cabbage, salad, and burgers in this collection. In lots of different formats though! When I meal plan I like to try and use similar ingredients in a bunch of different meals so nothing gets wasted. We actually succeeded in using up a whole head of cabbage, and all our vegetables and leftovers… which I think is great.
Favourite recipe #10: slow cooker ribs, they were super easy, tender, and delicious
may 5th, 2013 – crockpot chalupas with pico de gallo
may 6th, 2013 – sweet, tart, and spicy shrimp and cucumber salad
This was from the Epicurious Cookbook I borrowed from the library. Excellent cookbook and excellent recipe!
may 7th, 2013 – fish burrito

Handy homemade popsicle tip: fill your popsicle tray up with water and then pour it into a measuring cup so you know exactly what volume of popsicle mixture to make up. Then write the number on the side so you don’t forget in the future!!
Mine is a cheapy popsicle mold from Superstore and it works just fine. I think it cost $2. And it holds a teeny bit over 2 cups of liquid.
Nutella fudgsicles
I made them last night and had my first one today after the gym. IT WAS AWESOME.
I find it pretty funny that our very responsible dinner of waffles is now front and centre on this blog post. I can’t get away with anything when I’m posting my dinners every day for an entire year, haha! There were some nice healthy recipes towards the end of the fortnight though.
Favourite recipe #9: artichoke and asparagus quinoa with feta and chickpeas
PS I’ve also included a bonus recipe link for zucchini brownies about half way through this post.
april 21st, 2013 – belgian waffle with strawberries and frozen yogurt
Pfft. Who needs dinner. We ate waffles for dinner because we are ADULTS. Not.
april 22nd, 2013 – fish salad with a tortilla on the side
This was supposed to be in a burrito, but the tortillas were all mangled and ripped so we had to eat the components separately. It was a bit of a sad dinner, but the panko breaded fish was nice! (I had another piece of fish underneath the cheese, btw).
april 23rd, 2013 – peri peri chicken with sweet potato fries, peas and corn
More pictures after the jump…
It was a pretty good collection of food this time except for a few little slips. Ah well.
I don’t have many recipes linked for you this time because we either didn’t use a recipe or it was from a cook book I got from the library. The book is called High Flavor Low Labor and seems to have some interesting recipes. I was really intrigued with the idea of eating meat and veg with hummus instead of a starch, I would have never come up with that on my own. I love getting cook books from the library because you don’t have to pay a cent!!
Favourite recipe #8: Budget Bytes tuna casserole with olives. It was just so creamy and comforting. I loved the addition of kalamata olives!
april 7th, 2013 – kokoda
This turned out fabulous, if I do say so myself.
april 8th, 2013 – black bean and sweet potato burrito
april 9th, 2013 – sushi special and miso
(No I cannot eat all of that at once. Sushi for breakfast!)
