Life: What’s in my kitchen

March 5, 2019 by Shari Leave a Comment

Welcome to March – the final month of us being a family of five. April will most probably see us welcome baby number four into the family – although, babies come when babies want to come.

I know this because Mr Moo was due in March and came in April (two weeks late). The Little Dude was due in October and came in September (two weeks early). And Z man was due in October and came in October (the day before his due date).

I look forward to maternity leave – although I doubt that it will be the ‘break’ that most people at work deem it to be. I look forward to the opportunity to get back into baking (and begin my own sourdough journey). I hope to be able to create some delicious treats

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 March kitchen…

I’m a sucker for a hot crossed bun. I enjoy fruit toast all year round. I have taken the humble fruit loaf to another level with these delicious Havarti and apple toasties.

In my March kitchen…

We are whipping up these Carrot Cake bliss balls for school lunchboxes. These are a delicious nut free treat that can go into preschool and primary school lunchboxes without a worry.

In my March kitchen…

We are totally getting into pears (because all those summer fruit favourites are coming to an end). I think that’s one of the hardest things about food and feeding my children (who thankfully aren’t fussy eaters) – that they want to eat mangoes all the time.

It’s hard to teach them about eating with the seasons. And demonstrating how when we eat with the season – their favourite fruits and veggies are not only better but cheaper (maybe this is a lesson for older children?)

But if you’d like to make the most of pears this season, you might like to try; porridge with salted pears and sesame sprinkle, paleo pear and raspberry bread, or maybe these breakfast muffins.

In my March kitchen…

I have some hungry hungry hippos (I mean children). I am constantly preparing meals and snacks that seem to get devoured in a matter of minutes.

I’m thinking about putting in another order for some of these Replay Recycle plates (we also have their bowls, cups and spoon/fork sets) – and I’m guessing that with another child, I’ll need a few more).

I purchased a set of four when Mr Moo was one and the sets are still in perfect condition – so I know that they last. Although we have lost the odd spoon/fork to preschool/park adventures.

In my March kitchen…

I’m picking up some freezer friendly options, as I see them coming on sale – for quick and easy dinner options when baby number 4 arrives. I’ve been following some of the budgeting Instagram pages – I don’t know if this way of shopping will suit our family, but I am willing to give it a go.

So what’s been in your kitchen of late? Are you planning school lunchboxes? Do you meal plan? Do you shop the sales? Do you have a food budget? Do you prepare meals for a large family?

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!
This prawn plonk was was super easy after a day in This prawn plonk was was super easy after a day in the sun - and the simple combination of mayo and @joshandsue rose harissa was the perfect ‘sauce’!

The salad was cos lettuce, avocado, cucumber, and dill dressed in lime juice, olive oil and salt.

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!
