Another Saturday morning and I hope you’re all busy thinking about what to eat for the week ahead and maybe what to bake this weekend!

I’ve got a busy food weekend ahead of me as plans are now well under way for the toddler’s third birthday party. This weekend will see one traybake being made (destined for the freezer) and a practice run on the birthday cake (which is going to be my first foray into cake decorating that’s not just slapping chocolate ganache all over a cake!).

This week’s sweet treat (a sour cream and chocolate cake) is VERY sweet. There are plenty of annotations in the recipe for those who might want to adjust things as they go!

The meal planner (print friendly – image free) kicks off in true meat-free Monday style with one of my favourite things to eat: falafels. There’s also an easy chicken curry, hot smoked salmon with soba noodles, Japanese style, and simple beef and pork dishes.

Each week in the meal planner I aim to cover a range of proteins as well as styles of food so there’s bound to be at least one recipe which will work for your family.

The meal planner is published every Saturday morning, and if you subscribe to Eating Adelaide by email you’ll be sure not to miss one!
