my plan…..

I aim to provide nourishing, tasty food to my little family!

Cooking is one of my loves, I enjoy experimenting and editing recipes to suit my ingredients and my families tastes.

I am starting this blog to make myself accountable for my families nutrition and to hopefully inspire others to enjoy cooking for themselves and their families….

Like any busy parent I sometimes find it hard to come up with quick and easy food that can be thrown together for ravenous children. This can quite often result in unhealthy takeaway. Which more often than not doesn't taste that good, has little to no nutritional benefits and can take its toll on the family budget!

I am lucky enough to have conned convinced my husband into the benefits of a Thermomix and have owned my TM31 for about 15months. I am however guilty of not using her to her full potential. I hope in my cooking journey I unlock that potential and integrate my Thermie into my everyday cooking.

At home we have a small vegetable garden in its first season, so far we have harvested lettuce, corn, capsicum and herbs. We have plenty of green tomatoes which will hopefully turn red in the coming weeks if not we will certainly be cooking some relish!

Our yard is home to 7 chickens which are currently providing us with 5 eggs a day, too many to use  ourselves but plenty to be gifted to family and friends and to trade to our friendly neighbours for produce from their gardens.

I am looking forward to sharing my cooking, gardening and family experiences with you.

Please join me on my journey, growing, cooking and learning with my little family….
