I’ve raved about meal planning, I love it. I really do. I love the organising, I love the planning and I love knowing what I need to buy. But recently I have found that it wasn’t working for us. We’ve started buying our meat from a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) monthly membership, and because of this […]

Monthly Meal Plan 13
We picked up our second Sage Choice CSA pack last weekend. I really wanted to share with you what amazing value this is, how easy it makes our shopping and how we have more meat than we can eat each month. The meat is wonderful quality, tastes amazing and I know has had such a […]
Monthly Meal Plan?
It’s funny how things, thoughts, plans, and life ebbs and flows. A few years ago I set out to reduce and eventually eliminate single use plastic from our home. I came to realise that it wasn’t realistic for us. We do what we can, but our focus at this point in our lives has to be […]
Jay’s Away So We’ll Play
Jay’s away this fortnight and I wasn’t going to do a meal plan, but groceries need to be done and it gives me a good idea of what to cook on some of those super long days. As you probably know from this post, we don’t need to buy too much fresh produce these summer […]
A Fortnight Featuring Feta
I did the groceries and I bought 4 packets of feta. Now I love the stuff, but that seemed like a lot. I think feta goes wonderfully with this season, it packs a salty punch, an excellent addition to a summer salad with tomatoes and zucchini. We’ve been out of the meal planning habit. Christmas […]
Meal Plan #9
We’re a little into this meal plan now, but I still wanted to share it with you. Keeping things simple by just listing the meal rather than a spiel with each. Hope it gives you some inspiration. Bibimbap These bowls are all the rage at the moment so I thought I’d stick it on the […]
Meal Plan #8
Spinach Pici Pasta I love watching cooking shows. I could have the cooking channel on all day every day, I find it great background noise and excellent inspiration for our meal plan. This recipe was on Jamie Oliver’s Comfort Food and I googled it immediately. I can’t wait to try this version of pasta. Baked […]
Meal Plan #7
It’s been a long time since I have shared a meal plan with you. The last few fortnights have honestly been a complete mess due to TV appearances, me going to the photography workshop and then all three of us being sick. I’m really trying to jump back on the wagon this fortnight, and try […]
Meal Plan #6
I’m away for the first week of this meal plan. I’m headed up to New South Wales to attend the gorgeous Sophie from Local is Lovely’s photography and styling workshop. The boys are going to have a ball at home together, just the two of them for those days. So there’s a few things that […]
10 Ways to Save on Your Grocery Shop
Food swaps We’re lucky to have friends who sometimes send some milk our way. We rarely get some other bits and pieces from friends gardens or deliciousness that they might cook up. We are so happy to be living in a beautiful community. We will always be happy to swap freshly baked bread, preserves, or […]
Meal Planning – Hipcook App
The next fortnight is a strange one for meal planning. Jay and I are both away, separately, for 2 nights. Jay’s away for work and so I thought I’d pack up the car and take Elliot to visit some friends in the mountains. I’ll be taking a slow cooker primal/paleo meal with us to share with […]
Meal Plan – Pizza, Pasta, Burgers
Last fortnights meal plan ended up being a bit of a bust. Elliot and I ended up visiting my grandparents for a couple of days and so we didn’t cook dinner at home those nights. But it’s all good, because now those meals have been switched to this fortnight. Bloke Beef Beer and Mash A […]
