October Meal Plans
Welcome to my October edition of what is on our meal plans. This month it’s all about Autumnal recipes that make us feel cozy and with harvest in mind I am loving the Half Baked Harvest account on Instagram. I have read so many of her lovely recipes online the past few weeks, so my meal plan has several from her site. In particular the chocolate pumpkin cake sounds amazing to attempt when I have some time on my hands.
Featured recipe of the month
This week we cooked up a lovely gnocchi chorizo traybake dish, which was so simple to make. Simply Fry some soffritto, chorizo and garlic in a pan. Add in a red pepper ( I softened mine in the Ninja) and blitz it up with a jar of passata. Add the passata and pepper with some frozen peas to the pan and cook until bubbling. Take off the hob and stir in a large dollop of creme fraiche. Top with cheese and bake until golden brown in the oven at 180.
Back to the rest of this October meal plan post…
Most of these meal plan ideas listed below are much speedier to prepare than cook or bake. As always most of these recipes to make are included on my Pinterest board and then there are a selection that link to the Half Baked Harvest’s site. I hope that you gain some inspiration for your monthly meal plans and do please share your own meal plan ideas with me in the comments below.
