Our Savoury Mince Recipe

Hey Guys!

So, you have all seen on our meal plans that we have a dish regularly called savoury mince. This is my 12 year old's favourite meal and something that has been a staple in our house since I was a child.

I have never seen a recipe that comes close to this, probably the closest dish to compare it with is shepherds pie without the potato on top.

This is a recipe that I have tweaked a fair bit and we are finally happy with how it is now.

So here it is:

1kg beef mince

4 beef stock cubes

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1/4 cup of tomato sauce

2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce

3 potatoes, cubed

3 carrots roughly chopped

3 cups frozen peas

2 cups frozen corn

2 cups frozen broccoli

2 cups frozen cauliflower

water

gravy mix

1. Brown and drain mince, and add stock cubes, minced garlic, and both sauces. Let simmer for 10 minutes.

2. Add all veggies and water enough to cover everything in pot and cook the veggies through. Let simmer for 3 hours (definately not a quick meal :). Add 2 - 3 tablespoons of gravy mix to a cup of boiling water and add to the pot. Allow sauce to thicken and serve.

This recipe does make a lot, and we usually have leftovers. So for a smaller family, this would be 2 meals so freeze leftovers for another night!

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 ...

June Favourites!

Hey Everyone! There has been a few things I got in June that really get a lot of use and I am really happy with, so I thought I would share! Okay, the first thing I have LOVED is a book called The Essential Life. For those of you who are not familiar with essential oils, this is basically the essential oil bible. There are 6 sections in this book that go through an intro to oils, various ailments and which oils to use for each, what each essential oil is good for, focus areas such as children, nervous system, etc. This book also has recipes, DIY's and blends to make for gardening, pregnancy etc. I have used this book so much this last month, it now lives in the lounge room! Second item is a doTerra essential oil blend called Peace. For those of you that know me, I get very anxious in certain situations, so when I ordered the Peace essential oil and started diffusing it, I ordered the Peace Touch (it is the same oil, just in a roller bottle and diluted with Frac...

My New Toy!

Hey Everyone! A couple of months ago, my thermomix started to not work very well (so not happy about this). I talked to the Thermomix Customer Service who said to send it in for a service and to get checked. I use my thermomix all the time, so if I was without one for so many days or weeks, I would definately feel it. So we talked about it, prayed about it, and decided it was time for a new TM6! And.... I am still getting used to the new format in the TM6, but so far it has been AMAZING! As of Sunday night, I have made a couple of things apart from the delicious veggie stock paste the lovely consultant made with me at the time of delivery. As always, the thermomix custard is the easiest and most delicious custard recipe ever, as well as the basic muffin recipe on the guided cooking platform Cookidoo. The muffins were choc chip (having a special needs child in the house, foods can feel repetitive but neccessary at times), and the recipe said it would ma...
