I've got my first ever batch of no-knead bread on its sloppy second rise and I have a batch of rhubarb honey compote cooling to eat with yogurt for breakfasts this week. Round to a friend's tonight for pulled pork (and the bread, if all turns out well) and wine. Tomorrow I'm thinking lots of light summery things - maybe grilled romaine hearts with avocado dressing from Thug Kitchen and some grilled chicken breasts smothered in something spicy. Should be ready to start harvesting my radishes soon so we'll be eating those simply with lots of bread, salt and butter.

I'm obsessed with the giant chicken mayo baguettes I always got for lunch in Paris. They were perfect. Pret A Manger (UK lunch chain) does amazing prosciutto, parmesan, basil and tomato sandwiches that remind me of Euro train sandwiches.

I made migas burritos for breakfast and scrambled in some leftover cilantry green goddess dressing. They were delicious but a bit too filling for a pre-workout breakfast! We're out for dinner tonight (Turkish BBQ) but tomorrow will be salmon with stir-fried veggies and brown rice.

I'll also be doing some lunch prep for the week: harissa-marinated chicken pieces, veggie quinoa pilaf and some crudites. I've also made a big batch of homemade larabars that are chilling in the fridge before I cut them. I'm also pretty tempted by Green Kitchen Stories' banana granola.

I had a tiny 1-cup mini chopper for a few years and used it mainly to make breadcrumbs, until I got a big food processor for christmas this year. At first it didn't get used much but now that I've moved it to the counter it gets used a good few times a week. I like it for making salsa, energy bars, dips, banana icecream and salad dressings like green goddess. It's really made cooking much easier and it isn't that hard to clean.

Out for dinner tonight with my parents so apart from avocado and fried egg sandwiches this morning we won't be cooking at all. Tomorrow there'll be BLATs for breakfast and maybe beef and broccoli in oyster sauce for dinner. I'll also be prepping my boyfriend's lunches for the week on Sunday: BBQ turkey steak strips, quinoa and black beans and whatever veg we have lying around. It's my first time makling a week's meals so I'm a bit nervous about it lasting until Friday.

Tinned chickpeas
Dried beans, cooked and frozen
Brown rice
Tinned tomatoes
Garlic
Tortillas
Cheese
Greek yogurt

I could eat for weeks on this stuff.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who loves brie and avocado. One of my favourite quesadilla fillings!

Tonight I'm going to make huge bowls of guacamole and salsa and we'll dip tortilla chips, probably with a big salad on the side. Tomorrow I think will be sausages and lentils with a sid of the pencil-thin asparagus I found at the market this morning.

I'm making a light broccoli, avocado and quinoa salad for lunch today and steak sandwiches with asparagus and salad tonight. Tomorrow will probably be the lamb chops we didn't eat last weekend!

Baked camembert with baguette and asparagus for dinner tonight, with a leafy salad on the side. Probably lamb chops tomorrow. I'll also make a batch of fruit and nut bars for lunch boxes and the components of tortellini salad for lunch through the week.
