Life: What’s in my kitchen

February 4, 2019 by Shari Leave a Comment

I feel like it’s been a long time between ‘IMK’ posts (6 months actually). And I am very sad about that. Life gets busy and people feel the pull towards only posting on social media – but I love my little piece of the internet and I miss linking up with my peeps.

I’m going to make more of an effort this year to be present in this space – I start maternity leave in April with baby number 4. And even though life is still going to be pretty crazy with 4 little ones (Mr Moo starting kindy, the Little Dude starting 4yr preschool and Z Man living life large with Mummy) I aim to post at least every Monday – so watch this space!

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 February kitchen, we are devouring all things Mexican inspired. I love the freshness of avocado, corn, iceberg lettuce, cucumber, coriander, and lime against the spiciness of whatever slow cooked meat we are combining this super combo with.

In my February kitchen, there is a dragon fruit or two. I’ve been adding them into my smoothie bowls or combining them in my fruit salad that I have been devouring on top of a little Greek yoghurt with some cereal or nuts for crunch.

In my February kitchen, there is a salad or two – because let’s face it, we are going through a heat wave and no one can be bothered to cook or even to eat anything else! Some of our favourite summer salads include; Egg and Bacon Salad, Asian Beef Salad with Mango, and Chicken and Nectarine Salad.

In my February kitchen, there is fish. My boys love salmon – and I’ve been experimenting with ideas to make it stretch a little further. The boys are big fans of fishcakes or salmon patties. But I’ve also tried ‘stuffing’ some salmon fillets with herbs and nuts to make a fillet of fish go further.

Christmas in July - Baked Stuffed Salmon

In my February kitchen, we have these delicious ice-blocks from Proud & Punch. Apple, beetroot, carrot and ginger (with the inclusion of celery) would have to be one of my favourite juice combos – so I love that these are the perfect frozen treat for me and the kids (without all the sugar).

So what’s been in your kitchen of late? Have you been making up salads for family dinners or have you thrown in the towel and declared ‘Zoopa Doopas for all’?? Do you have a little one heading off to primary school for the first time? Are you planning school lunchboxes?

You’ll find the recipe on the blog - www.goodfoodweek.com.au

I had my first apricot of the season on the weekend and it was GOOD! 
Here’s to a great season of Australian stone fruit... remember to make the most of it and support all our farmers @aussiesummerstonefruit

When Mr Moo was a baby, I would go into New Acton to watch a movie at the Mums and Bubs session and you could get a slice of panettone and a coffee for $5... and it wasn’t even Christmas!

What are some of your favourite Christmas foods?
Instagram post 2192032187834737266_49240536 Too hot for Christmas stuffing? Maybe try this Christmas stuffing inspired salad... I’ve shared this recipe, along with all my favourite foodie things in my recent #inmykitchen post

Crispy cos lettuce cups filled with BBQ’ed chicken strips, mango, avocado, radish, cucumber, spring onions, parsley, dill, lemon juice and olive oil.

And everyone gets to eat with their hands - so perfect for baby led weaning!

I’d also consume outside - but with all this smoke we’ve been trying to stay inside (and it’s driving everyone a little crazy 😜). Canberra definitely had more cool things to do inside (I guess cause of the extreme heat and the extreme cold)... hit me up with some good things to do inside in Sydney.

When we are hit with all the craziness of the end of the year, it's good to know that @raffertys_garden has my back. 
When we are out and about; catching up for Christmas drinks, watching Christmas concerts, having our Santa photo taken - it's good to know that my little one is having something healthy and nutritious from Rafferty's.

His favourite is definitely the barley, carrot and sweet potato - from the New Wholegrain Range. Proudly made in Australia, with Australian grown barley. It's good to know that this source of goodness is also supporting Aussie farmers.

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!
