Life: What’s in my kitchen

March 3, 2020 by Shari Leave a Comment

Wow – this is the last month of maternity leave. How quickly did that time go? I’ll be back at work at the start of Term 2 (so end of April, but April nevertheless). I’ve enjoyed being home with the boys and having more time in the kitchen.

I think I’ll just have to be even more organised when it comes to weeknight dinner and lunchbox packing as the year progresses. I’ve seen some people packing whole week’s worth of lunchboxes on a Sunday night – but I just don’t know how they have fridge space for it all?

I’m also looking into more healthy food options to start trying out so the boys can enjoy their meals without being junk food. I also want to try this so I can start my own delivery food service, I have been looking into some options and I have been considering getting help from shawarmapressfranchise.com/.

And, as always, 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’ve been following Stacey Clare on Instagram. And I’m really into improving our gut health through fermentation. I did her 3 day quick course – which she ran for FREE. And now I really want to sign up for her paid course.

The boys have been smashing her orange juice and kombucha gummies and we have even tried a few combinations of our own! I used these cute silicon ice cube trays to make mine. The boys love these ‘giant’ stars which are much bigger than the ones we make in silicon chocolate molds.

In my March kitchen…

I’m making the most of the last of the ‘summer’ tomatoes. I’m trying to eat more seasonally – and so we will be embracing the Autumnal veggies as they come into season. Think; artichokes, Asian greens, avocado, beans, beetroot, broccoli, and brussels sprouts .

In my March kitchen…

I have Marley Spoon. I am thinking about trialing some other lunch options. I enjoyed YouFoodz but think I might give these bodybuilding and gym meals a go. I don’t necessarily want to loose weight, but the maintaining meals look pretty good. Just think ‘clean eating’ which is what we should all be aiming for anyway, if you ever need any food then consider getting them from Stanislaus food products for some great options.

In my March kitchen…

We will be having this delicious Bilpin honey in our tea and on our toast. We drove out to Bilpin and picked apples a couple of days ago. It was a really fun experience and one that I would recommend.

We took a #emptyesky and brought home eight kilos of apples (Red Delicious, Fuji and Kanzi) and honey and a couple of delicious apple pies (well actually they were consumed in the car on the way home).

In my March kitchen…

We I just had to share these cute little cheese knives that my sister gave me for my birthday.

In my March kitchen…

I’ve been reducing the amount of plastic I bring into the house. Here is one of my little hacks for veggies that might need a plastic bag, look for paper. I’ve been bring home my green beans in paper bags instead of plastic.

So tell me, what is in your kitchen this month? Are you busy packing lunchboxes? Have you tried kombucha, tepache or switchel? Are you interested in increasing your gut health? Do you have a brilliant kitchen hack for me to try? Have you been able to get your hands on toilet paper?

Family meals for my tribe of 6
Where does all the fruit go? I feel like we defin Where does all the fruit go?

I feel like we definitely up the amount of fruit that we eat during the holidays cause everyone seems to be always snacking...

And well, when you’re at school, you’ve got what you’re sent with - and there is really only that crazy period between 3:15 and 5:30pm when they ask for snacks until dinner.

I mean, at least this is what they are eating...

Start by browning off some chicken thighs ( I bought these ones from @delishdeliveries with the skin on and the bone in). 

Sauté with 2 brown onions and a head of garlic. Season and then add cherry tomatoes, passata and thyme. Transfer to a 180 degree oven for 45 minutes. 

I served mine with a mash of potatoes, spinach and more garlic 🧄 No vampires here 😝

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’!

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!
