Do you plan your meals? I usually shop fortnightly though I do get a weekly ethical groceries (EGG) order which supplements this. As I do my main grocery shopping fortnightly I generally do a menu plan for the fortnight. For a while I was posting about our menu weekly but haven't done that in a… Continue reading What’s Been on the Menu Lately?
We've got a lot of pumpkin at the moment. I bought a whole butternut pumpkin and them my mum gave me a home grown pumpkin. So I've been wondering what do with all of this pumpkin? Particularly, as I'm the only one who would willingly choose to eat pumpkin in our house. What can I… Continue reading What can I make with Pumpkin?

We've give away some of the sweet potatoes but I'm still looking for recipe ideas that use sweet potatoes. A pile of sweet potatoes ready to use Sweet Potato Information We really… Continue reading Sweet Potato Recipes
"What's for Dinner?" has been the catch cry of my children since they could talk. Â Often this would be one of the first things my daughter would ask in the morning when she was little. I started menu planning a few years ago and have found that it helps. Â I usually plan and shop for… Continue reading What’s for Dinner?
This week I tried a new seed & nut sandwich bread recipe. Â I enjoyed it fresh on the first day and then toasted most days since. Â I had heard about things with sunflower seeds going green but hadn't seen it myself until I made this bread. Apparantly the sunflower seeds contain chlorogenic acid which reacts… Continue reading Breads

Lunches again mostly involved… Continue reading Last Week’s Menu – 26 September
