Life: What’s in my kitchen

September 1, 2015 by Shari 27 Comments

Welcome September, you bring the Little Dude’s first birthday and {hopefully} warmer weather. My September kitchen will be filled with Asian greens from the farmer’s markets, delicious blood oranges from Redbelly Citrus {I was gifted a box and I have some great recipes coming up in ‘Sweet September’}, and Ghee. Have you used ghee in your cooking? And if so, what recipe did you use it in?


As you know, I’m joining link ups this year and this link up is hosted by Celia’s from Fig Jam and Lime Cordial.

I’ve get a great mix of Asian greens from the farmer’s markets. I’ve used bok choy, choy sum and pak choy in this super simple honey soy stir fry. Winter warming meals will tend to slow down and the stir fry comes back onto the menu as the weather warms up.

I’ve picked up another great Organix snack product {because sometimes you don’t have time to make everything from scratch when you have little ones}. I was pulled in by the ‘carrot cake’ mini oaty bites, but the ‘apple and orange’ mini oaty bites are actually the favourite flavour in my household. I haven’t met a toddler yet who doesn’t like these special treats – and we often share our lunch boxes at the park.

Are the last of a giant box of Redbelly Blood Oranges that I was gifted. They are super delicious and I have a few recipes to show you how to use them up in my ‘Sweet September’ posts. They are also amazing sliced and squeezed in a simple Campari and soda {my drink of choice}.

We might have some leftovers from Snapper on the Lake. As soon as the weather warms up, it is one of our favourite hang outs on a Sunday afternoon. We take the kids down to the lake to run around in the sun, the husband can grab a beer and we can enjoy some fish and chips as a family. It is a lovely afternoon treat.

I’ve picked up some of the new ‘calci fruit’ pouches from Rafferty’s Garden. Great for when you’re out and about. The Little Dude isn’t the biggest eater – but he loves these. This range wasn’t available when Mr Moo was eating pouches, it always amazes me how fast the baby food isle changes.

I’m using pure ghee. I picked this one up from the Deli at the Belconnen Markets. I used it to make Yorkshire Puddings. I am interested in hearing other people’s uses for Ghee. I’ve seen Ghee used in dairy-free recipes; as the milk solids are removed from ghee during the clarification process.

What new things have you picked up and tried lately? Do you purchase new brands or do you stick with what you have tried and tested? Anything interesting happening with you and your family in September?

I love supporting my local shops and YourGrocer makes it so easy. You can find some of my favourite kitchen things and have them delivered today.

Sometimes you wonder if you’re doing a good enough job.

Sometimes you wonder if you’re giving everyone everything that they need - even if you’re running on empty.

It was an emotional weekend losing out an a house (yet again) at auction and marking my pop’s one year anniversary since he passed away.

And then this beautiful man brings me home hump day flowers - I mean Wednesday ... but he might also get lucky 😉

I did my research, I didn’t want blandness.

So in with my feta and my cherry tomatoes I popped; oregano, sundried tomatoes (and the flavoured oil they came in), heirloom tomatoes, garlic, green olives and seasoning.

Baked at 180 for 20 minutes then mashed with a potato masher (obviously I removed the stalks 😝). Added fresh basil and 1/2 cup pasta water and cooked pasta. Toss and devour!

Shari from GoodFoodWeek

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
