Midweek Meals: But Make It Flavourful!


Hello!

If your dinner rotation is starting to feel a little too... rotational, this week's Midweek Meals are for you.

I've picked three family dinners with plenty of flavour, but nothing too complicated or adventurous for a Wednesday night.

πŸ› Best Butter Chicken

This is my take on a family-friendly butter chicken - mild, creamy and made from scratch, with a little extra veggie goodness from grated carrot.

You can adjust the chilli depending on your family, then put some rice, naan, yoghurt and other favourite sides on the table and let everyone tuck in.

πŸ₯₯ Chicken Cauliflower Curry

Another curry, but a very different one!

This one has a creamy coconut sauce made with blended cauliflower, plus pumpkin, carrot and spinach. It's mild enough for kids but still has plenty of flavour for the rest of the family.

It's also a great one to double - leftovers freeze beautifully.

🍝 Beef & Mushroom Pasta

And if curry isn't going to win everyone over tonight, there's always pasta.

Beef and mushrooms are a classic combination, and this is exactly the sort of straightforward family dinner that's handy to have in the regular rotation.

Hopefully there's something here to shake up the dinner rotation this week - without making dinner any harder than it needs to be.
