I am planning more healthy dinners this week. Being unwell for so long has made me determined to be super healthy and get better! I take so many pills at the moment I can’t wait to get this trapped nerve sorted once and for all. Still waiting for my MRI… I am doing some extremely gentle exercise whilst I wait, but plan a mega fitness regime as soon as I am sorted!
My two vegan days went well last week so I am doing the same again this week, on Saturday and Sunday. I didn’t enjoy almond milk in my tea at all, although it was OK in my coffee and porridge. This week I am buying oat milk instead.
A week of healthy dinners
Saturday
Aubergine and chick pea tagine. This sounds delicious. I haven’t made it before but came across it in an old recipe book that cost me 20p in a library sale. I use it a lot. It’s called The Cancer Prevention Cook Book
There is couscous in the larder that really needs eating so I will serve some of that with this dish.
Sunday
We will have a roast dinner today. Mr S will have roast chicken or a chop and I will have a nut cutlet, with roast potatoes, lots of veg and a Yorkshire pudding.
I will make plum crumble with our home grown plums that are in the freezer. If I use the vegan margarine this can be one of my vegan days and I will attempt to make custard with oat milk. Not sure how that will work out but I can but try!
Monday
Not strictly a vegan day, but I really fancy making a tomato and lentil dahl, again from the Cancer Prevention Cookbook. It uses ingredients I have in the cupboard anyway. We will have it with brown rice.
Tuesday
Salmon with potatoes and vegetables, with a hollandaise sauce. One of my favourite simple but healthy dinners.
Wednesday
Spaghetti with a simple tomato sauce and grated cheese. Mr S can have mince in his, as I bought lots of yellow stickered stuff which is in the freezer. I will make extra and freeze for some ready meals once I get back to work. We will have salad or veg with this, depending on what’s left.
Thursday
A nice bit of comfort food – macaroni cheese with a large salad and avocado. I will use whole wheat macaroni.
Friday
Probably the same again – I don’t mind eating the same thing two days in a row! Less cooking.
So this is our week of healthy dinners. Not much meat or fish, some pulses and lots of vegetables. What are you eating?

My husband wants to eat a bit more healthily so I may have to try a lentil dahl myself. I would happily eat macaroni cheese two days running.
