Life: What’s in my kitchen

April 2, 2019 by Shari Leave a Comment

Wow – we blinked and we are in April. This month marks the end of the first term of primary school. It marks Mr Moo’s 6th birthday. It marks the arrival of our fourth child and me starting maternity leave. It also marks Mr GoodFoodWeek’s birthday and the possibility of him returning to full time work. Oh and Easter…

I thought that we would feel that change in the weather, but it still seems so warm and most nights we go to sleep with the fan on. I wonder if I will feel that Autumn chill when we come out of hospital with baby number four – I’m looking forward to that weather that is perfect for breast feeding and newborn baby snuggles.

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 April kitchen…

I’ve given into pregnancy cravings and purchased these Messina Drumsticks when they were two for one at our local Supabarn. I picked up a packet of the Dulce De Leche and the Roasted Hazelnut. I was a little bit disappointed with the Dulce De Leche – but the Hazelnut was delicious.

In my April kitchen…

I’m thinking all things roast pork and how we might serve it for Easter. I love a simple roast pork with amazing crackling – this image shows it simply sitting on potatoes, fennel, garlic and pears, seasoned with sea salt and fennel seeds. I’ve also whipped up a milk braised pork rack for Easter in the past that really is delicious.

In my April kitchen…

I received a great little pack of snacks from HarvestBox, which will come in handy when I am super hungry all the time because I am breast feeding a hungry newborn. I also thought that I would share with you these beautiful breast pads that I purchased from Milkmade Ave – I have had multiple sets with the others and love them so much.

I also got this beautiful delivery from Josh & Sue . I’ve purchased their Rose Harissa and their preserved lemons before and so I can’t wait to try out their new products.

In my April kitchen…

I’ve been popping a little Meredith Dairy Marinated Goat Cheese on some simple pizzas – I mean when you’re 9 months pregnant and you’re trying to avoid ordering takeaway to save as much money as you can in the lead up to maternity leave – you embrace the simple ‘fakeaway’.

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? Are you planning an Easter menu?

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!

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!
