Life: what’s in my kitchen this month

December 4, 2014 by Shari

Can you believe it is December already? December people… OMG how time flies! I saw this post on Mel’s blog and thought ‘What a great idea’ – I’d love to incorporate that into my blogging schedule. And so I did and realised that I would only get one post in this year {crazy}.

So this will become a regular blog post in 2015 – I’m excited. It basically let’s you know what’s going on in my kitchen for the month. 
I’ll be tell you what I am purchasing in terms of fresh produce {and from where if you’re a local Canberran and also want to get some}, what I am purchasing in terms of gluten free products {as my sister has been diagnosed as a Celiac and I’m helping her out with new recipes for her family}, what I am purchasing in terms of cooking implements and what not oh and anything I have been gifted*.
So let’s get to it…
In my December Kitchen…
I’m purchasing cherries! Cherry season is upon us and I just don’t think it’s Christmas time unless I am eating cherries and listening to Christmas carols {my husband may or may not enjoy the fact that I love to listen to Christmas carols for the entire month of December}.
…here is a link to the Christmas cherry salad recipe pictured above.
In my December kitchen…
Are a few bottles {okay a lot of bottles – I may have an addiction} of cold pressed juice. I love the selection at the moment from Autolyse in Braddon {that’s the juice bar, not the actual bakery…a little confusing but they do have two shop fronts a couple of metres apart} – and I love that I can drop in for 6 bottles and a loaf of bread. Their bread is also amazeballs. 
In my December kitchen…
Is lots and lots of fish. I am loving economical fish like the Basa fillets I purchased from Coles and the Salmon fillets that I purchased from Aldi. I love thinking outside the square when I pick up fish… but most importantly I think we need to always choose fish that is sustainable {because wouldn’t it be so sad if our children were no longer able to eat fish!}.
…here is the recipe for my basa fishcakes.
In my December kitchen…
Is the ‘Has No’ gluten free range from Aldi. I am trying out these products because my sister has been diagnosed a Celiac and I’ve also been researching good products from Aldi to help with the family budget. 
In my December kitchen…
There is panettone – because it just isn’t Christmas without one!


So, that’s my kitchen for this month. What’s in yours? Any newly acquired goodies?

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!
