Meal Plan Monday #2

Hey Guys!

Here is our meal plan for this week starting 4/6!

Monday: Party pies, sausage rolls and chicken rice

Tuesday: Potato topped meatloaf with veggies and sweet potato mash

Wednesday: Homemade pizza This is State of Origin (Rugby League Football) and it is huge where we are, hence the pizza night ;)

Thursday: Potato and Leek soup with bread rolls (might do something else that is super simple for the kiddos to eat - they really do not like soup)

Friday: Pasta/Noodles

Saturday: Hot dogs (one of the boys requested this and I am liking this idea...)

Sunday: Mum cooks!

My mission for this week is to use my Thermomix every day. This is why there are a few things on here that I can quickly and easily make in the thermomix as well as various snacks for school lunches. This weeks snacks include: milo and banana muffins, pikelets, yoghurt, custard, boiled eggs, popcorn and a few others. Apart from the Thermomix recipe community, the best website I have found for Thermomix recipes is The Road to Loving My Thermomix. I have gotten a lot of great recipes off here and my family loves them!

Thanks for reading!

Organising School Uniforms

Hey Guys! When it comes to storing and sorting the kid's school uniforms, it seems we have FINALLY found what works for us! For those who don't know, we have 4 kiddos and my mum works at the kid's school as well, so her uniforms are also stored with the kid's uniforms. Right next to my desk in the kid's playroom (pretty much only has Lego in it at the moment) we have a clothes rack. The only things that get put on the rack is school uniforms, shoes, the hair box (this keeps all the brushes, hair ties, head bands, etc. together in one place) and school socks. So here is an overview of what the uniform rack looks like and then I will talk about the sections. We'll talk about hanging the uniforms first! Each person has their own colour coat hanger to make it easier for them to recognise which uniforms are theirs. BB has pink. Knox has blue. TJ has purple. Liss has white. Mum has black. Yes, they are all mixed up at

5 Quick and Easy Gluten Free School Snacks

Hey Everyone! As some people may know, our youngest daughter has been diagnosed with something called PANDAS syndrome. This means that in order to help her with some of the issues stemming from this syndrome, she has had to eliminate Gluten from her diet. It has taken a lot of trial and error to try and find some gluten free things she likes, but here are some of her favourites to pack in her lunch box for school! 1. Popcorn. We try to just make the air popped popcorn in the mornings, that way it is fresh for the day. But sometimes it is well worth the $3 for the Woolies homebrand popcorn that comes in packets. They also have the sweet and salty flavour that is always a hit in our house. 2. Mini pancake muffin bites. These are super easy to make and don't take long. Our daughter loves the Coles home brand I'm Free From Gluten range, so we just buy the pancake shaker bottle in that brand and pour them into a mini muffin pan. We add things like blueberries, chocolate chips etc to

A little update...

Hey Guys! Just wanted to jump on real quick and let you know what is coming up on the blog! We have our Large Family Laundry Routine coming up next and then a monthly meal plan for May after that. If you are enjoying reading our blog, thank you! My aim is to get at least 2-3 posts out a month at this point as we have a lot of appointments and possibly a surgery for my daughter. We also have a couple of birthdays in May so I might put up a Birthday blog as well! Thank you for being patient with me through this, and I hope you all have a great day! Much Love, Jacqui!
