Life: What’s in my kitchen

February 4, 2019 by Shari Leave a Comment

I feel like it’s been a long time between ‘IMK’ posts (6 months actually). And I am very sad about that. Life gets busy and people feel the pull towards only posting on social media – but I love my little piece of the internet and I miss linking up with my peeps.

I’m going to make more of an effort this year to be present in this space – I start maternity leave in April with baby number 4. And even though life is still going to be pretty crazy with 4 little ones (Mr Moo starting kindy, the Little Dude starting 4yr preschool and Z Man living life large with Mummy) I aim to post at least every Monday – so watch this space!

If you are interested in seeing what other lovely bloggers have in their kitchen this month, then head over to Sherry Mackay, from Sherry’s Pickings.

In my February kitchen, we are devouring all things Mexican inspired. I love the freshness of avocado, corn, iceberg lettuce, cucumber, coriander, and lime against the spiciness of whatever slow cooked meat we are combining this super combo with.

In my February kitchen, there is a dragon fruit or two. I’ve been adding them into my smoothie bowls or combining them in my fruit salad that I have been devouring on top of a little Greek yoghurt with some cereal or nuts for crunch.

In my February kitchen, there is a salad or two – because let’s face it, we are going through a heat wave and no one can be bothered to cook or even to eat anything else! Some of our favourite summer salads include; Egg and Bacon Salad, Asian Beef Salad with Mango, and Chicken and Nectarine Salad.

In my February kitchen, there is fish. My boys love salmon – and I’ve been experimenting with ideas to make it stretch a little further. The boys are big fans of fishcakes or salmon patties. But I’ve also tried ‘stuffing’ some salmon fillets with herbs and nuts to make a fillet of fish go further.

In my February kitchen, we have these delicious ice-blocks from Proud & Punch. Apple, beetroot, carrot and ginger (with the inclusion of celery) would have to be one of my favourite juice combos – so I love that these are the perfect frozen treat for me and the kids (without all the sugar).

So what’s been in your kitchen of late? Have you been making up salads for family dinners or have you thrown in the towel and declared ‘Zoopa Doopas for all’?? Do you have a little one heading off to primary school for the first time? Are you planning school lunchboxes?

Who doesn’t love a margarita on a hot summer evening? 

I popped this @drinklisto Tommy’s Margarita Mix in my @delishdeliveries order as a little Christmas present to me. 

Think I’ll order another cause they went down way too easy!

Working on perfection ... I feel like it’s plat Working on perfection ...

I feel like it’s platter season - however with Covid-19 around we haven’t been getting out and about nor have we been having as many guests as normal.

I was really hoping that we were going to be able to get the opportunity to catch up with people that we hadn’t seen, but it’s not really panning out that way.

Here is a platter from New Years Eve - when some other friend’s plans got cancelled which meant that they were able to pop in and see us (as they were a family of four).

What’s your key to the perfect platter?

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!
