Final in Simple Family Life Series 29 April, 2008

Filed under: General — Bel @ 11:47 am

I have posted my fifth and final in the guest post series at Down To Earth. I wrote about home education because it’s such an intrinsic part of our whole lifestyle.

I hope to write guest posts for Down To Earth again. I am grateful to Rhonda for allowing me to write from my heart and trusting that what I have to say might be of interest to others. I feel honoured to have contributed to such a highly regarded online space again.

Menu Week Starting 28th April 26 April, 2008

Filed under: Menu Plans — Bel @ 7:00 pm

We missed out on our roast vegie night last week, so I’ve moved it to this coming weekend. We had a BBQ with friends instead, so enjoyed fish, salads and vegetables. Good food, good company, good wine.

The Mountain Bread ‘chips’ were a popular treat and much cheaper than bought chips, so a winner all round!

Menu Week Starting 21st April 20 April, 2008

Filed under: Menu Plans — Bel @ 12:03 am

Last week’s menu went well. The pumpkin soup was delicious - half roasted pumpkin (and onion and garlic) blended into boiled pumpkin and potato (with stock). Very thick and tasty. We had some gluten free bread, toasted, to dip into it and dessert was dumplings in caramel sauce with custard - a total hit! We’re doing that again this week because it’s lovely in this cool weather. I did freeze a couple of containers last week, topping up the frozen meal supplies for quick dinners and lunches. There’s a nice variety in there now.

Menu Week Starting 14th April 13 April, 2008

Filed under: Menu Plans — Bel @ 7:41 pm

Well, last week just flew by! We had lentil loaf for the first time - a sure hit. The sweet and sour was delish and luckily I made heaps as we had extras that night. The pumpkin soup was a scrumptious one with roasted pumpkin in it. We ate it al fresco which was delightful. The pasta meal was penne with white sauce instead of spaghetti - an ever-popular pasta meal.

Keeping it simple this week. Still trying to get that food budget down and use what we have. No new recipes to try this week and nothing fancy at all. I have heaps of zucchini from the organics box and still carrots from last week’s box to use up. I’m really inspired by the folk at Simple Savings who are keeping their grocery budgets tight even with the price rises we’re seeing lately.
