Life: What’s in my kitchen

September 3, 2019 by Shari

Wow – September, you can practically write off the year now. Because September equals everyone’s birthdays and then October is Z man’s birthday, we will baptise Buddy Boy, and then it’s Halloween. And I can tell you, as soon as Halloween hits, everyone goes into this crazy tail spin until it’s Christmas.

Is it bad to say that I’ve actually started my Christmas shopping?

It’s September and I’m thankful that the weather is beginning to warm up. I’m sick of coughs and colds. I think I’ve got a little PTSD from all the coughing…and let me tell you, my husband’s has been the worst!

I’m looking forward to more salads and BBQ weather and being able to eat outside – which will also be helpful as Buddy Boy starts his journey with solids.

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 September kitchen…

I have coffee! Show me a mother of four who doesn’t need coffee. We normally use our Keep Cups or make our own coffees at home, but Mum brought this around as a special treat. Have you been to Son of a Baker? It has some seriously good food!

In my September kitchen…

Well, actually, most weeks we are eating pancakes. The boys love to have them for breakfast – and last Sunday, we had them with nutella, banana, strawberries and blueberries. I mean, I am normally a butter and maple syrup girl, but these were seriously good.

I purchased the nutella because I really want to give the stuffed nutella doughnuts a go in my Sunbeam Pie maker.

In my September kitchen…

We gave these Kettle Flat Bread Crackers a go on a recent picnic in the city. The boys are a big fan of a savoury biscuit and these were delicious.

In my September kitchen…

I’m making the most of the rhubarb season. It’s been delicious this season and it reminds me of my grandparents. My pop used to grow rhubarb in his garden and my Nana stewed it with apples and served it with ice-cream.

I’ve been cooking up crumble and eating it with creamy custard and it has been the BOMB!

In my September kitchen…

We have given Marion’s Classic Japanese Teriyaki sauce a crack. Simple dinner 101. Marinate the chicken. Boil some rice and team with a Japanese style coleslaw. Super quick and devoured by all the kitchen (loved so much that leftovers went into the lunchboxes the next day).

In my September kitchen…

We will be smashing ye old taco – because they are a family favourite. If you love the taco, you can find some of my other taco recipes here:

  • Oven Baked Chicken Tacos
  • Fish Tacos
  • Pork and Pineapple Tacos
  • Peach and Prawn Tacos
  • Veggie Tacos

So what’s been in your kitchen of late? Are you planning school lunchboxes? Are you glad that it is Spring? Do you meal plan? Are you interested in trying Marley Spoon? Do you shop the sales? Do you have a food budget? Do you prepare meals for a large family? Do you love tacos? Are you a breast feeding Mama? What’s your favourite recipe for spring?

Family meals for my tribe of 6
Hi guys 👋🏻 I seem to have had a few new foll Hi guys 👋🏻 I seem to have had a few new followers of late. I wonder if you’re here because of my reels?? (And if so, you’ll probably also want to follow @smallbusinessgrowthclub )

If you are new… here is a little intro… I’m Shari - a mum of four small boys (although their little hands seem to be getting better and bigger). They are nine, seven, five and three.

I whip up quick and easy meals for my family. I currently work full time and so the content juggle is real 😩

But the thing is, I actually also have a blog - www.GoodFoodWeek.com.au - so you can drop by there for some of my tried and tested favourites. I’m fact, this Spanish beef is one of the most viewed recipes on the blog!

And if you aren’t new - I’d love to hear what are some of your favourite recipes from my blog.

Walking into our wedding like ‘can you believe w Walking into our wedding like ‘can you believe we just did that?’

How does it feel like this was just a moment ago? And yet also a lifetime ago? It’s been 10 years to be precise…

Thanks for being by my side, day in and day out @phillipujdur
I mean, we did celebrate our 10th wedding annivers I mean, we did celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary in style with @huntervalleyhelicopters …

But today, it’s back to reality of work and school drop offs/pick ups and sick children 🤧- so we decided to throw ourselves a little pizza party thanks to @mccain_au
Snacks, snacks, snacks - what snacks are doing dow Snacks, snacks, snacks - what snacks are doing down well in your household at the moment?

I feel like the boys have had an overload of chocolate and I want to take it back to healthier alternatives… 

But in our household, I feel like everyone goes through stages. One week they’ll eat all the bananas in one day, so the following week I’ll order 3kgs instead of 1kg and no one will eat banana 🤦🏼‍♀️

I mean, I freeze them for smoothies or make banana bread so they don’t go to waste. 

But I’m keen to hear what snacks are popular in your household at the moment?

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!!

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!
