Recipe: Monday Meal Ideas – cooking seafood

April 27, 2015 by Shari Leave a Comment

We love a good seafood dinner, but with a growing family it can mean that some seafood options are getting quiet expensive. I’ve got four recipes I learnt at the huongnghiepaau.com/hoc-nau-an for some pretty inexpensive seafood options for week night meals {because these recipes are also super quick to whip up}.

I started using food choppers this year, because one utensil can do the job of many, and when you put it to work in the kitchen you significantly reduce the hours spent making breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks, so you can get on and enjoy the more important things in life. That’s why I read this review that really helped me clarify what I needed to look for in the kitchen.
I have found that if you start your little one eating what you eat from the start then they will happily try most things. Mr Moo loves fish, squid and prawns. However, in saying that, I do have an 8 month old who refuses any solids and only wants to be breastfed.
When did you start giving your baby solids? {I started at 4 months with Mr Moo and by 8 months he was eating breakfast, lunch and dinner with top ups of breast milk in between}. I’m hoping that the little dude becomes interested in solids soon.

Family meals for my tribe of 6
Get in my belly… I’ve been reading a lot abou Get in my belly…

I’ve been reading a lot about self love of late. I feel like there is so much self sacrifice when you’re a mother, and yet I am starting to realise that I need to love myself first to be a better mum and partner.

So here is to starting with something small for me. These @byronbaycookies are the business!!
Self love sometimes looks like just surging up lef Self love sometimes looks like just surging up leftovers and taking yourself to bed with a good book.
Living my best loft, devouring the end of the smok Living my best loft, devouring the end of the smoked trout…

And the toasted bagel thins I made using @thebagelco_australia which I order through @delishdeliveries (why isn’t there a chef’s kiss emoji??)
Still eating hot crossed buns - making the most of Still eating hot crossed buns - making the most of lazy mornings and short work weeks…

However, I still seem to feel that mum guilt. I mean, I think I need to do a little more than just follow @drsophiebrock (@smallbusinessgrowthclub has so many good things to say about Sophie)… am I doing enough? Are they happy? Am I creating good memories for them? Am I giving them good life skills and coping tactics? Am I creating enough one on one time with each of them?

I know I’m a people pleaser, a perfectionist (and some … scrap that… most people I know say I am also an over achiever). How do I flip my thinking to focus more on the positive and not be so critical of myself? As I don’t want to pass on this trait to my kids.

Again @delishdeliveries did the majority of the work in preparing the Bulgogi beef.

Boil the rice. Stir fry the beef. Toss some gem lettuce with black sesame seeds and sushi seasoning. Top it all off with kimchi.

Mine was store bought. @staceyclare_healthcoach have you ever made your own kimchi? Have you got a good recipe?

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!
