Windowsill babies (or is it actually, the afterlife for these mature plants?). Once we know which plants are basically evergreen, that is they continue to produce food, it’s basically... well... impossible ... even... criminal ... to throw the “off-cuts” in the compost or bin. Peel back the outer layers for salads, juicing and cooking. Keep the inner cores in a bowl of water on the window sill and give them a new lease on life. When strong and growing, transplant back into compost-rich soil and mulch. Here is pak choy, lettuce, celery, leek, and mint. Being allowed to live a little longer. #harvest #reuse #upcycle #plants #plantbased #farmhouse #kitchendesign

A Vegan family. No longer scary. No longer impossible. No longer weird. Traditional cooking, slightly changed ingredients. Sausages, onions, mushrooms, polenta, silver beet, salad. Coconut oil, vegetable stock. Just like mumma used to make 🥰 Same Same but Different. #winter #warmth #familytime #weeknightdinner #kidslovevegan

Dizzy, lightheaded, low iron? Thankfully these plants produce continuously so long as you peel from the outer leaves on stem - not cut. Spinach, silver beet, Brussels sprouts, parsley, greens are not just garnish, they are the whole meal :)

It’s been a while since we have had party pies, sausage rolls and Frankfurt’s. Probably over 8 years. Saw them getting eaten at a party the other day and didn’t miss them at all... but the kids thought it’d be nice to have sausage rolls today on a cold winters day 🥶 - in the quasi-vegetarian 🏠 homestead we can use a vegan filling including leftover mashed potato & coconut cream, peas, corn, tomatoes, just a general vegan casserole rolled into puffed pastry. Commercial Puffed pastry contains butter and gluten so it’s not for everyone 🥧 Always better to make as much as we can at home so we know what goes into our food, have the option to add more wholesome ingredients, and you know... #lifeskills 🤷‍♀️ we all need to know how to cook 👨‍🍳 #partyfood

Pre making plant-based porridge for simple sweet nourishing breakfasts full of long-lasting energy: in a small saucepan mix a nut milk with pre-cooked quinoa, organic mixed berries, peeled pears. Enjoy a portion with coconut yoghurt, honey, and fresh passionfruit. Fill 1 or 2 jars with remaining porridge, a little extra milk plus chia seeds, and refrigerate. Over next 1-2 days reheat the quinoa/chia/berry porridge in small saucepan and serve with extra nut milk, honey and fresh mint leaves or lime rind. This is a delightful treat... has the aroma of a cafe breakfast. 🌱 🫐 🍐 🍓

Quasi-vegetarian nachos. It just means you are a bit flexible with the options, accommodating all the eaters at the table as best as possible, even if you need to divide a vegan meal in half to accommodate dairy lovers, or those gradually adapting out of a predominately fish or poultry based diet. Nachos with organic sea salt corn chips, marinated Italian chickpeas, diced tomato, cashew cream, coconut yoghurt, fresh parsley, salsa, sauerkraut, red onion. One half with vegan coconut shredded cheese, the other half with dairy cheese. Still a family meal, for all to enjoy round the table. Packed full of good plant-based ingredients 🌱 #quasivegetarian #nachos #familymeals

How I feel when I’ve meditated, relaxed, exercised and played with this old soul. Like My heart has just eaten a delicious meal. Full from heart to crown. Bursting with light and love. (The opposite of how I feel when I’m raiding the pantry for chocolate! 🤓) Can’t wait to have more time with our Elk in soulful connection. #horselove #intuitivehorsemanship #horseteachinghuman #howtolove

There are many cute moments with incubator ducklings. But if you’re thinking about doing it, you should know how much poop there is to cleanup! Who would have thought ducklings could create so much... stink. So much more than chicks. So. Much. Mess. But - CUTE. Cuddly. Joyful. Happy. Worth it? Still figuring that one out. 😳 nah they’re worth it. Gimme another 2 weeks of raising them inside in the cold belly of winter and I may change my mind though.

Life right now looks like ... 🐥

Oh my heart. These people who I love so much. My cousins, my kids cousins. Wish I caught a few more of us on my camera but the 🥶 got too much for my littlest! Winter solstice titty-vista style thank you Nads & Geoff xxx @jetro_30 @nadsiamy @ilikeredapples @nate_dogg83 @tamara_lea__ @mat84b
