In the Kitchen With Jo - on Instagram

Our fully recovered duck (from our winter incubator ducklings); you might remember I posted a few days after Indi was attacked by a dog 8 weeks ago, and was so bruised and battered we thought she might not make it... and yet here she is now walking, swimming, she has returned to the duck pen and has even been flying! It’s so nurturing to have friendly, tame, trained ducks. She recovered in much the same way humans do... time, healing herbs, rest, baths and lots of sunshine, love and cuddles.

Days like today feel rewarding for the passionate gardening student. What was $20 in silverbeet pot plants, and has fed us a few silverbeet leaves per week since, has suddenly begun 5 large bunches... worth about $27. Financially I breathe out that this little experiment was profitable along with enjoyable! Time for me to get boiling, dicing and freezing. #homesteading #nutrition #plantbased #plantsofinstagram #permaculture #sprayfree

This recipe is called the Mexican Stack in #cookidoo #thermomix #tl6 and it was creamy, spicy and filling full of vegetarian ingredients. I replaced the recommended tasty cheese with a blend of silken tofu, nutritional yeast, oat milk and coconut oil. The Lebanese flat bread we had was a gluten-free brand that had “milk solids” in the ingredients, so the result was a real creamy lasagne taste. The kids found this meal a bit too spicy and they prefer tacos so they can be more conservative with how much Mexican flavour ends up on their plate. Grown up flavors are rich and satisfying! #vegetarian #glutenfree #meatfree

The Springtime windowsill. Vase of spring onion and parsley flowers. Edible beauty. Plus fragrant dried parsley, sage and a neighbour’s labor of love - plaited garlic. #localgrown #homesteading #springproduce #dinnerinspiration #farmlife

Wednesday, food delivery day in Nambucca Valley, for spray-free & organics. My favorite day. North Arm Farms for greens, root veggies & herbs, Bello Food Box for fruits & frozen & pantry, and Macksville Foodworks for Orgran boxes (gluten-free lasagne sheets for example). #nambuccavalley #healthyfoods #farmer #mindfulliving

Hello, beauties. 2 very happy horses after their morning cup of tea ☕️ of dandelion, chamomile and garlic (a jar of herbs in boiler water. which I mix into Lucerne chaff with turmeric). They eat slowly, deliberately, devouring every bite second by second, slow chew after slow chew, relaxed yet delighted eyes. It makes me mumma-proud. #healingherbs #horsesofinstagram #homestead #tea
