Even though this blog is only new I’m needing to take a short hiatus. My father in laws lung cancer is progressing scarily fast and right now family takes precedence over all else.
I can say that having our fruit and veg taken care of with the weekly delivery from Aussie Farmers Direct has been a huge blessing. One less thing to worry about and we all get to continue to eat healthy, there is far less temptation to stop at a drive through and get take out because I know there is great food waiting at home to be eaten.
Thank you Aussie Farmers Direct.
Updating occasionally at my Stuff With Thing blog still if you want to see what we are up to.

This made me smile
The first time I’ve used all 4 burners on the stove at once.
Back Left – corn on the cob
Back Right – tinned spaggetti (or noodle soup according to my youngest)
Front Left – fried carrot and zucchini sticks with bacon strips
Front Right – whole baby red potatoes (peeled)
An odd evening meal to be sure but I’m determined to use everything we have in the house and not buy any extras. I can’t seem to go into a Supermarket these days and walk out having spent less than $30, so I just don’t go in at all.
I’m also Smiling about the things kids say.

The girls have been eating lots of fresh fruit and veggies. We’ve been out at the park every day and always take some fresh fruit with us for a snack.
I made up a large amount of mashed potato with sauteed onion and fried bacon mixed through and we’ve had that for dinner for a couple of nights. Also fresh corn on the cob and broccoli in white sauce.
It feels like I’ve been doing more re-heating than actual cooking and lots and lots of chopping of fresh food for snacks.
Looking forward to my weekly surprise and seeing what is in the Aussie Farmers Direct box tonight.
