It is #WorldOceanDay! and as you know, I'm a huge

It is #WorldOceanDay! and as you know, I'm a huge fan of the ocean (hint hint @plasticfreegoldcoast) and since I've missed #WorldEnvironmentDay I thought I make that up by sharing a few facts in here (and on my Stories too)!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Did you know that the Ocean actually provides us with more than 50% of our oxygen and it covers over 70% of the planet 🤯⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Our oceans are extremely important for our livelihoods and sustenance of the whole planet and that's why we need to fight to keep it safe and thriving!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
On my Stories today I'm sharing some interesting tips that you might not know but actually affect our oceans a lot. Head there for more info and tell me what can you do to help our beautiful big blue? 🌊⁠⁠

I've been MIA recently as some of you may know because...well, life happens! 😅⁠⁠
⁠⁠
To say that things went a little sideways last week was a bit of an understatement but all is well and we all partially recovered 🙌🏼⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Now, back to business. I know that most of the time I've preach to you to buy good quality items and avoid the cheap stuff but I don't always take my advice and I've reached the point where I ~need~ to find a good pan. One that will last me a lifetime and hopefully down to Luna one day 😄⁠⁠
⁠⁠
So I'm taking suggestions! What's your best, high quality, versatile pan/frying pan? 🍳⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Drop it (your favourite pan) like it's hot 🥵⁠⁠

Ok ok...it's been 2 weeks since I've started using

Ok ok...it's been 2 weeks since I've started using @zeroco.com.au and here are my thoughts so far:⁠⁠
⁠⁠
✨Great circular system: buy the containers and refill whenever you are out of it. Then send refill backs to be reused!⁠⁠
✨Made with recycled plastic: remember how I said we need to support the market for recycled plastics, so no more virgin oil is used? Well, this is the way to go!⁠⁠
✨Ticks all the boxes: they are vegan, cruelty free, palm oil free, grey water safe and made in Australia (woot woot)⁠⁠
✨Great quality products: I've tried them all...they work a treat and the family loves the smell! Plus they do look good 😏⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The not so-good points:⁠⁠
🧐 Because we've been a fragrance free home for such a long time, having products with fragrances is a bit overwhelming even tho they smell great (if that makes sense 😅)⁠⁠
🧐 Although their refill system is spill-free I can see how people with disabilities or the elderly could find the refilling part a bit hard to deal with. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
All in all, loving it and so is the rest of the family! I was so excited when they launched and I'm even more excited now that I got to try it out 🤩⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Loving it! Thanks @zeroco.com.au for sending me the products to try 🧹🧼🧴🚽✨⁠⁠
⁠⁠

First week of combining both Meal Planning AND pre

First week of combining both Meal Planning AND prepping our veggies...and the result?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We've nailed it!⁠⁠
This is what we had during the week:⁠⁠
⁠⁠
🥔Caldo verde (Potato & kale soup)⁠⁠
🍝Roasted Capsicum Pasta⁠⁠
🍜Minestrone Soup⁠⁠
🥬Roasted Pumpkin w/ Kale and Quinoa⁠⁠
🍄Bean mash w/ mushrooms⁠⁠
⁠⁠
All homemade with mostly organic produce and made in no time because most of it was already chopped and ready to go in the fridge! Plus, no time wasting thinking 'what will we make for dinner tonight?!'⁠⁠
⁠⁠
So excited for more days of healthy eating, less waste, less takeaways, more cash in our bank account!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Would you like to learn how I get it all organised?⁠⁠

Did you know today is Menstrual Health Day? 🩸⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Did you also know that every menstruating person disposes of about 1 wheelie bin worth of sanitary items into landfill each year 🤯⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Menstrual cups (like @LunetteCup) last up to 10 years significantly reducing the cost of menstrual products, while also helping the planet ♻️ plus you never run out of it 😉⁠⁠
⁠⁠
@LunetteCup wants to end the stigma around periods because to be fair, half the population menstruates so why can't we talk about it and find better (and more sustainable) solutions to it?! 🤷🏻‍♀️⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I'm super stocked to join @LunetteCup in the fight for a fairer future for everyone that menstruates. It's time to end period stigma! 💪🏼⁠⁠
⁠⁠
How do you go through your period?⁠⁠
⁠⁠

I love making quick meals and when they turn out this good it's selfish not to share...⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I made this quick roasted capsicum pasta which is a healthy and flavourful option for mid-week dinner (or lunch). Seriously delicious and so hearty ❤️⁠⁠
⁠⁠
So without further ado, here's the recipe...and don't forget to like, comment and save for later 😉⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Roasted Capsicum Pasta⁠⁠
3 small red capsicums ⁠⁠
3 tomatoes 🍅⁠⁠
3 garlic cloves 🧄⁠⁠
2 tbsp ricotta⁠⁠
Salt + pepper (to taste)⁠⁠
Thyme⁠⁠
Rosemary⁠⁠
Onion powder⁠⁠
1 pack of @pastaromaau⁠⁠
⁠⁠
How-to:⁠⁠
Roughly chop the capsicum and tomatoes and add to an oven-safe tray with the garlic. Season with all the seasonings above and roast in a pre-heated oven at 180ºC until slightly burnt.⁠⁠
In a large pan, cook the pasta according to the pack.⁠⁠
Remove the capsicum from the oven and place in a bowl. Add the ricotta and using a blender stick, blend it all together. Adjust seasoning if needed.⁠⁠
When the pasta is ready, drain and save a bit of the pasta water.⁠⁠
Add the sauce to the pasta and mix well.⁠⁠
Serve with parmesan.⁠⁠
Enjoy! 😋⁠⁠

You said you wanted to know so I made this (not so) quick video to share what I take with me and I've been using this set up for almost 6 months so I know it's working for me 😅⁠
⁠
What else would you add or remove from the bag?⁠

Starting solids with little Luna and it's so cute

Starting solids with little Luna and it's so cute to see her discover new flavours and textures!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This milestone is so important but we often tend to hurry things up so she is up and ready eating well of everything.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
But it doesn't work like that. Babies have their own time and their own process. And it's up to us as parents to respect their time.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We are doing baby-led weaning and learning as we go to give Luna the space she needs to learn for herself.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Do you want to follow the journey?⁠⁠

You’ve asked, so here it is! Vegan ‘Brigadeiro

You’ve asked, so here it is! Vegan ‘Brigadeiro de Colher’⁠
⁠
It’s not as pretty as it seems but I’ll tell you the flavour is all there. ⁠
This is a lazy dessert recipe if you fancy something super rich and indulging. ⁠
⁠
I’ve been trying to find a vegan alternative to condensed milk and it was disappointing most of the time but I’m glad I didn’t give up and tried the Coconut Condensed Milk from @Colessupermarkets which is the bomb! ⁠
It’s also not as sweet as the regular stuff too. ⁠
⁠
This is a mash up of a Brazilian classic with peanuts because it’s honestly the best combo and growing up, ‘cajuzinho’ was my favourite sweet to eat at birthday parties 😋⁠
⁠
Save the recipe for later⁠
Vegan ‘Brigadeiro de Colher’ with Peanuts⁠
1 can of coconut condensed milk from @colessupermarket⁠
1 tbsp of drinking chocolate from @loving_earth (can swap for the regular stuff but it won’t be vegan)⁠
1 tbsp cocoa powder⁠
1 1/2 tbsp peanut butter (nothing added)⁠
In a small saucepan add all ingredients and mix well. With a spatula keep mixing and scraping the bottom and sides of the pan while it cooks for about 10 minutes or until it’s thickened up. ⁠
⁠
Remove from heat and pour into a plate or container. Let it cool. Grab a spoon and enjoy.⁠
⁠
Made for sharing (or not) 😜⁠
