When it looks the same as the other tray of Lasagna, but it’s really, really not.

There’s no point cooking more until I know whether they’ll be allowed to eat it! Lockdown 5.0?? 🤷🏻‍♀️😭

Five days, 75 people, 12 meals, 12 snacks.
Eight bags compost
Two bags soft plastic recycling
Three bins mixed recycling
Three bags landfill.

Thank you RMIT Christian Union for every decision you made to use a different bin.
Thank you for every cup you washed and reused. It makes a difference!

Plastic Free July

Every time you choose renewable over plastic, it makes a difference! Knowing that it was composted afterwards is even better! And this was was a very, very quiet year.
Thanks Jessica Tivendale David Thorn and all my other catering buddies. You’re awesome!

It’s nice to be fondly remembered!
Here’s to next year in person!

There's 8 days until Torque now! We know that there's two main reasons that anyone goes to Torque - the quality training and equipping, and the chicken schnitzel rolls! Who's with me in making our own homemade version this year?? Register now at suvic.org.au/torque

Love this!

You know what's better than saying "this food is good for you"? Tell them what foods do in their body! Why do I keep sharing this message? Because we keep selling our kids short labeling foods and good/bad, healthy/unhealthy. Here are some examples of messages I like for different ages⁠:
⁣⠀⁠⠀
For 2-3yo kids I usually break it down by color. Although it's not 100% accurate, it’s a good framework to get started. ⁣⠀⁠⠀
❤️ Red: gives you a strong heart⁣⠀⁠⠀
🧡 Orange: helps you see in the dark⁣⠀⁠⠀
💛Yellow: helps your body heal cuts⁣⠀⁠⠀
💚Green: gives you super powers to fight off sickness⁣⠀⁠⠀
💜💙Blue and Purple: Give you a strong brain⁣⠀⁠⠀
💟White: gives you energy⁣⠀⁠⠀
⁠⠀
For 4s and 5s you can start being more specific - like carrots and sweet potatoes help you be able to see in the dark. Clementines help your skin heal cuts. Broccoli helps your night vision, your skin heal, AND your bones be strong.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
For 4s/5s and 6s you can introduce the idea that some foods do a lot of things in their bodies and some foods do a few things.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
For 6s and 7s you can introduce the concept of vitamins and minerals - tell them HOW carrots protect their night vision (via vitamin A). Learn about the body.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
For 8s and 9s - learn even more about different things in foods. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And so on.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
All the while, model the way you want your kids to eat in your home and serve them the balanced diet you want them to eat. That's more powerful than anything you could ever tell them.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If you need help getting your child to try new foods, my free child eating guide 🔥 From Stress to Success - 4 Ways to Help Your Child Eat Better without Losing Your Mind is in my bio ⁠.eat.in.color⁠⠀
