Aussie Farmers Direct Challenge

I love to cook, I especially love to cook when I’m stressed, it is really relaxing, well so long as someone else washes the dishes .

This is my challenge: To use all the fruit and vegetables received in our weekly box from Aussie Farmers Direct.

I will not let fear of the unknown hold me back (much ).

I will be creative.

I will be budget conscious whilst not compromising on quality cooking.

I will use every last bit of fruit and veg in that box (I will, really).

I will find ways to encourage my children to explore food they have not eaten previously.

I will not let my mistakes get me down, but I will learn from the experience.

Each week I will list the fruit and veg received (probably on a Friday because the box usually arrives late Thursday night).

During the week I will report on recipes made, their success or otherwise (see not letting mistakes get me down), what food was eaten fresh as snacks, what we liked and what we hated.

I’m an Aussie mum of 2, with a husband who works strange hours. Our youngest daughter is on the Autism Spectrum and very fussy about her food, she is also dairy intolerant and nut allergic. Both my girls are allergic to fish and I have Crohns disease so need to be careful of the amount of fiber in my diet. Hubby will eat anything I put in front of him, this comes in very handy when I make cooking mistakes.
