    Mum’s Quick Chicken Curry Pasta

    Chicken Curry Pasta was one of my favourite comfort meals as a child. Creamy, lightly spiced sauce over chicken pieces with peas, carrot, corn and pasta. Easy to eat by the spoonful and made for excellent leftovers. I brought it out recently in a burst of nostalgia for my weekly meal prep and realised just how convenient and macro friendly this recipe is. I’ll definitely be adding mum’s chicken curry pasta back into regular rotation because it’s light yet filling and packed with protein and vegetables.

    Veggie Loaded Shepherd’s Pie

    I’ve always loved a good hearty Shepherd’s pie and this veggie loaded version is no exception. By pairing the sweet potato with cauliflower in the mash, we get the main benefit of a topping that is both lighter in calories and carbs. This pie reheats well as leftovers and also freezes well for meal prep. If you aren’t planning on eating it straight away, you can skip the oven step and freeze portions of mince and mash to reaheat later. FAQ Key Ingredients
