5 Easy Recipes to Make This Week

Eating well during the week doesn't have to be complicated. These five recipes are proof that you can put together something genuinely delicious without spending hours in the kitchen or following a complicated meal plan.

Whether you're cooking for yourself, your family, or prepping ahead, these are the kind of meals that earn a permanent spot in your weekly rotation. High in protein, full of flavour, and built for real life.

Big Mac-Inspired Crispy Pita

All the flavour of a Big Mac (the special sauce, the melty cheese, the pickles) but pressed into a golden, crispy pita and made with lean beef mince. It takes 25 minutes start to finish and is a fun weeknight dinner that hits every craving.

Bang Bang Chicken Crispy Rice Salad

This one's a bit of a show-stopper. Oven-baked crispy rice forms the base, topped with crunchy panko chicken and a creamy yoghurt bang bang sauce that ties everything together. The crispy rice trick alone is worth making this for - once you try it, you'll want to put it in everything.

Bolognese Enchiladas

Two comfort food classics smashed into one delicious dinner. A veggie-packed Italian bolognese gets rolled into tortilla wraps, topped with mozzarella, and baked until bubbling and golden. It's hearty, easy to prep in advance, and makes enough to feed the whole household, plus leftovers for tomorrow.

Rice Paper Tacos with Mango Prawn Salsa

Light, fresh, and ready in 20 minutes. Crispy fried rice paper shells hold garlic prawns and a vibrant mango salsa packed with avocado, cherry tomatoes, and a squeeze of lime. Perfect for a warm evening when you want something impressive that barely heats up the kitchen.

Chicken Pesto Pasta

The kind of pasta that never gets old. Golden pan-fried chicken, blistered cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and spinach all tossed through a fresh homemade basil pesto. It's a 35-minute meal that works just as well the next day cold, which makes it a solid meal prep option too.
