Dinner Plan | February 2016

Monday: White beans on toast with arugula salad

Ready in: 30 min. Serves: 4. Make Meatless Monday’s meal as exciting as every other day of the week. Easy to whip up, this toast spread gets a huge boost from white wine, fresh thyme and garlic, turning it into an elegantly flavoured vegetarian dish. Get the recipe for white beans on toast.

Thursday: Bacon colcannon with apple salad

Ready in: 30 min. Serves: 4. Our take on the traditional Irish dish. Often made with mashed potatoes and either kale, cabbage, onions, chives or bacon, this cozy dish is incredibly simple to make (thanks in part to yesterday’s leftovers). Dish it up with a fresh and crisp salad, and dinner’s on the table in no time. Get the recipe for bacon colcannon.
