TUESDAY: Korean chicken tacos


This ‘Taco Tuesday’, opt for scrumptious Korean tacos – they’re absolutely bursting with flavour and are just as much fun to make as they are to eat!

WEDNESDAY: Chilli-loaded wedges


In the mood for some quick and easy comfort food? We’ve got you covered with this super simple recipe, which also happens to be low in saturated fat and high in fibre and protein.

DESSERT: Flour-free chocolate cake


Nothing beats the January blues quite like a slice of this rich, decadent chocolate cake, best served slightly warm with a hefty scoop of vanilla ice cream.
