Summertime stacking project with dusted strawberries, pina colada mini pavs and double dark choc fudge brownies 😁 This tower was a sweet prelude to my sisters' birthday next weekend 🎉🙌😄 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Haven't been posting at all recently 😅 but for all of you who've been viewing my stories, you'll know I'm definitely keeping busy 👌 Thinking about that makes me so grateful for the people in my life, the work I get to do (and the people I get to work with) and just day to day moments in life 🙏 And yes, also grateful for the food we get to bring to the table and share with loved ones - it's not everyday the birthday girls help you go to Kmart to buy the discus-worthy marble platter for their own brownie tower 🙌

When you're gno-cchi-n on washing up so many dishes after dinner, times for a quick gnocchi menu! Dinner dash featuring low salt canned tomatoes with herbs preadded 😀 and canned sardines for calcium, protein, iodine and omega-3 👌 Plus, it's a near-one-pan recipe 😉🍽️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Serves 4 -500g gnocchi (I used Grand Italian pumpkin and potato gnocchi, from Woolies and Coles) -1 brown onion diced* -1 carrot diced* -400g can diced italian tomatoes -Handful button mushrooms sliced (nice with mixed mushrooms too👌🍄) -2 handfuls baby spinach -2 small tins sardines in springwater, drained -Parmesan cheese, grated -Extra virgin olive oil *I roughly chopped the onion and carrot and pulsed them into fine pieces ☺️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let's get cooking: 1. Heat olive oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot and mushrooms and stir until softened 🥕 2. Add diced tomatoes and cook for 10mins or until sauce thickens. Fold in baby spinach. 3. Transfer sauce to large ceramic bowl and cover to keep warm🔥 4. Wipe down pan and return pan to medium-high heat. Add gnocchi and panfry, tossing occasionally, for 7-10mins or until lightly toasted😋 5. Turn off heat. Spread toasted gnocchi evenly over pan. Sprinkle gnocchi with parmesan cheese, arrange half the sardines, pour half the tomato sauce. Repeat layering and end with a final sprinkle of parmesan cheese. 6. Serve up straight from the pan (note: it'll be quite hot!) Enjoy! 🙌🍽️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Three weeks into my new job, and it's definitely been keeping me busy! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ...mainly, figuring out what on earth my daily schedule is meant to be and where I'm supposed to be 😅 and there's definitely been stressful moments, but the daily challenges keep me moving forward and growing 🌱 Keeping busy is one thing, keeping well is another. And recently it's been a challenge to balance them out. Weekends help heaps 😁 Noticing the positives in the day helps me keep grateful and motivated: -Lots and lots of learning 🤓 -Meeting lots of amazing colleagues and consumers 🙌 -Getting to lots of places, both locally within the south eastern Sydney district and the sunny GC for #daa2019 national conference (which had a whole day dedicated to Mental Health)❤️☀️ -Daily discoveries with my team and the consumers at our cooking and exercise groups (swipe for snaps from our recent cook ups 🌯🍽️), home visits, centre based consults and meetings 😀 -My handy snack drawer at work! 😁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here's to week four! ☀️🙌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Parting with two amazing workplaces was SOO much feels 😢 and double last-days in the past week✌️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm so grateful for being part of such warm, embracing, supportive teams for the past year and half. To have worked with and gotten to know so many inspirational humans - colleagues and clients alike. So much learning, growth and friends along the way 🙌🤓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Overwhelmed with warm fuzzies from the heartfelt blessings by clients (being told "you were a god send" was a pretty memorable highlight 😇), cooking nachos and rainbow pizzas one last time together, and a final Friyay lunch prepped by my team leader (an italian meatball soup 😋) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tears of joy are SO real. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Stay tuned for the next exciting leg of my journey!😉 I'll be continuing to do the work I love, this time with the community mental health team in south east Sydney 😆❤️🙌

Wontons! Warming up on a chilly winter day with a bowl of steaming hot wontons 😀 Swipe for the steaming product of YUM Despite enjoying wontons since childhood, I have to admit I've never made them from scratch ... until this weekend!! 😆 Learnt from my man's mum and her years of experience ❤️🤓 These ones are stuffed with pork mince and buk choy, seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil (gives it a beautiful fragrance), chicken stock powder and a touch of potato starch for binding 👌 Can't go back to those frozen storebought varieties once you've tasted these fresh, delicious homemade morsels 😁 She could tell exactly which wontons I wrapped in the batch 😅 so there'll be lots and lots of years of practice ahead of me 💪

Wrapping up with a rainbow wholegrain wrap 🌯 It's bursting with avo-tzatziki-kaleslaw-cheese-chicken yummness 👌 Swipe left for the evening dessert - mixed berries and white choc cheesecake 😄 Recipe adapted from @thebusybaker ❤️ Definitely give it a go! 😉 The Ballina boy finally got his slice (and another) of cheesecake this weekend, after missing out on the earlier one I made 😂 Happy Monday!
