It's the silly season and life is HECTIC! This week's menu is a compilation of three quick, easy and delicious meals from the existing Y.U.M recipe collection. Enjoy steak and pesto spaghetti (minimal prep and ingredients but maximum flavour), miso chicken stir fry and the highly rated corn and prawn fritters.

It’s the second to last menu of the year! Start the week off with a powerhouse of a salad - chicken, chorizo and roast veggies. Teriyaki tofu is up next. A great meatless meal with an easy homemade teriyaki sauce. Finish the week with succulent Greek lamb chops, roasted with flavoursome veggies and served on rocket and risoni.

Kick December off with some delicious new meals. The salmon and buckwheat salad is a healthy start to the week. Pair it with green goddess dressing.

What’s cooking?! First on this week’s menu is Mexican fried rice - a fast, simple and flavoursome meal. Salisbury steak is up next. Generously sized beef patties are covered in mushroom gravy and served with cauliflower mash. Finish the week with a Mediterranean crustless quiche. It’s an easier, healthier version of regular quiche.

It’s a nice twist on spaghetti bolognese and ready in under 30 minutes. Round out the week with Turkish gozleme - moreish homemade flatbreads stuffed with spinach and feta.
