So much has been happening this past week. I have been overwhelmed by reader emails, thankyou to each and everyone of you for your kind words, I am so happy to be inspiring and helping so many wonderful people. The facebook page has been be a buzz of activity lately (now with 4,500 + likers) with everybody enjoying the daily tasks I have been adding. So much so that I have decided to create a weekly newsletter and send you a weekly task list to your inbox. This weekly task list will be similar each week, eg clean your floors, wash the bed sheets, however it will also include tasks such as clean your fans, clean the fridge, organise the bathroom cupboard – tasks you wouldn’t complete every week and may forget to do.
TO SIGN UP TO THE NEWSLETTER LOOK FOR THE BOX IN THE RIGHT SIDEBAR ON THE WEBSITE. Once you have signed up an email will be forwarded to your inbox for you to confirm registration.
1st newsletter will be sent out next Sunday night.
Hope you enjoy it!!
I have been trying to find budget recipes as this week I was trying to keep the cost of our meals low. Do you have any budget recipes you can share with me?
I have come across the most amazing recipe book. Vegie smugglers by Wendy Blume. I have only made 1 recipe from it so far, but it was so delicious that I am going to ‘try’ and dedicate myself to cooking at least 1 meal a week from this cookbook. There are so many things I love about this cookbook:
- Do you know you are going to be super busy all day tomorrow and won’t be in the mood to cook dinner? This book has recipes that you cook the night before and it tells you how to reheat them.
- It has a section you can rate the recipe and write a comment. Perfect cause I know there are times I make a recipe don’t like it but nevertheles forgotten and made it again….mummy brain, i’m so forgetful.
- It smuggles vegeies into the kids meals…love it
- Freezer friendly recipes
- It gives you tips on how to make a meal the kids will enjoy into a meal for the adults to enjoy too.
- Wendy your this book is just BRILLIANT!
Here is this weeks meal plan:
Monday – Farm House Rissoles with potato and veg ❗ ❗ ❗
Tuesday – Chicken curry with pasta
Wednesday – easy dinner from the pantry
Thursday –Vegie Smugglers – Salmon Pie (pictured left) I smuggled – Salmon, potato, brocolli, corn and peas. The kids enjoyed helping decorate each of their pies. ❗ ❗ ❗
Friday – Hmm, we shouted ourselves a pizza
Saturday – Nacho’s
Sunday – Roast Beef, potato and vegies
Baking – Choc chip cookies and Rock cakes

Hi Katrina – on the idea of budget recipes, we too are trying to keep costs down at present. I came across this blog this morning and thought you might like it: http://120dollarsfoodchallenge.com/. Sandra is trying to feed a family of 4 for $60/wk. She has some really creative recipes. The usual fall back recipes in our house are ones that use up all the remaining f&v like soups (Pumpkin, minestrone etc), quiche, fried rice, stir fries and tacos. I dice everything super small so it is not seen by the kids. Tacos have celery in the mince mix,chopped carrot and cucumber are a topping. Fried rice also has diced celery and cabbage in the mix and I use golden syrup instead of soy sauce if we have none.
