    Milk kefir – what it is and what you can do with it

    19 April, 201629 March, 2018

    My family has been making and enjoying milk kefir for about two years now.  It was the second homemade fermented food we tried, after yoghurt.  I found homemade yoghurt too time consuming and too fussy to prepare for my liking, and although it was fun and rewarding at first, I got tired of the heating,

    Homemade lotions and potions

    4 April, 201629 March, 2018

    I now make all our toiletries myself.  By toiletries, I mean lotions and potions like face cream, body cream, deodorant, insect repellent, sun screen, and nappy balm (we call it bum balm!). While there are many commercially made eco-friendly, cruelty-free products available these days, I don’t buy them because in general, I find them hideously

    We brush our teeth with soap

    30 March, 201629 March, 2018

    I have to begin this post by saying that I have been blessed with very good teeth. Now, at the age of 38 and after two pregnancies, I have only one tiny filling behind my two front teeth. Thanks to my mum and dad’s foresight when I was a teenager, I have a very orthodontically-engineered

    My hair un-cleaning journey

    23 March, 201629 March, 2018

    Since puberty, I have considered myself slightly unfortunate for having ‘oily’ genes.  Photos of me in my early twenties almost always featured reflective patches on my face, as the light bounced off my oily skin.  I’m not quite sure how or when it came to be that I needed to wash my hair at least

  • I only have one of these kits left because they've been so popular this summer! Should have more available later this week 😘 • • • #Repost @yunivorous (a past student of mine! šŸ˜„) . Fermenting made easy using the @mrsgoodness.nz fermenting kit. @mrsgoodness.nz, I finally got onto making that kimchi šŸ˜†. I’m starting with the classic Napa cabbage kimchi for now, but with that giganto bag of gochugaru, I foresee some different kimchi combos coming along. . . . #kimchi #homemade #homemadekimchi #fermenting #fermentedfoods #fermentation #fermentingkit #mrsgoodness #mrsgoodnessshop
  • It's a rockmelon!! šŸ˜† I've never grown rockmelon before so I'm a bit nervous... will they shrivel up and die? or will they be juicy and sweet... šŸ˜›? Surely you can't get a better summer than this one for melon-growing! šŸŒž #itssohotimmelting haha šŸ˜Ž . . #rockmelon #imgrowingamelon #homegrownfood #backyardgarden #hopefulgardener #veggiegarden #summerfruit #imgrowingfood
  • This is a long-time favourite quote of mine. Some people focus all their energies on what is happening to them. Others on who/what they are. The latter is the only thing we really have control of, I think. . . #inspirationquote #motivationalquote #itswhatyouremadeof #itsallaboutattitude
  • Wow, are radishes the easiest veg to grow from seed? šŸ˜®šŸ˜† Stella and I harvested the radishes we sowed from seed it feels like just a few weeks ago! They're already on my shelf in the earliest stages of fermenting. My kids find radishes too spicy to eat fresh but fermented they pop them like lollies! Instead of spicy they end up crunchy sour. Radishes are a quick ferment - I usually leave them for just 4 - 5 days. . . #radishes #fermentedradish #fermentingkit #homegrownveggies #homegrownfood #summerharvest #sownfromseed #realfood #goodfood #fermentedfood #homemadeferments
  • I've started taking red maca powder daily, to support my hormones in a natural, no-risk sort of way. I think it's actually doing some good! I think I feel calmer, less moody... Could it be the placebo effect? - Yes. Do I care? - No. An effect is an effect as far as I'm concerned, placebo or not! 😜 Maca is an adaptogen, which means it supposedly supports your own body to balance its hormones. It's also a cruciferous vegetable grown in Peru, so if nothing else I'm just adding a bit of ground-up broccoli-like vegetable into my (decaf) coffees, haha! Just having a nice relaxing cuppa before I head out and pick the kids up from school... šŸ§˜ā€ā™€ļø . . #maca #redmaca #macawithmycoffee #balancinghormonesnaturally #naturalmoodsupport #foodsthatheal #placeboeffect
