This is my go-to recipe when life get's rushed and I did not plan our meals.

My @instantpotsa always saves the day when time is limited.

But you can also make this recipe on a stove top. It will just take a bit longer.

Another timesaver @pesto_princess sauces. They taste so delicious and I know they don't add lot's of preservatives and flavorings just real ingredients!

You can also customize this recipe by adding vegetables like carrots and baby marrows or using GF pasta. I often also add lentils with the mince for extra fibre. Hope you try it.

The recipe link is in my stories.

I know it is hard to let go of your Tupper and spending endless hours looking for and organising lids.🤣🙈

Don't get my wrong I still have three large tupper containers for baking/holidays etc but for day to day use I ditched plastic containers a long time ago. I use @pyrexhome glass dishes. I know glass containers with the wooden lids are beautiful but they will not be as durable and functional.

Here are my 10 reasons

1. Choose one or two sizes so they can stack. In the cupboard, fridge and freezer. It makes organising so much easier.
2. Less chance of leftovers going off. Because you can actually see what's inside.
3.They can go in the oven
4 They can go in the microwave
5.They are great in the dishwasher
6.They freeze well, just defrost a little or run under water before removing the lid. Otherwise they tear at the corners. Talking from experience.
7. Same lid, fits all the containers.
8. Glass is durable and cleans easy.No stains, smells or lasting onion flavours that stays behind.
9. Glass is cheaper than plastic and will last longer.
10. And one of the most important reasons, No BPA'S or toxic endocrine disrupting chemicals are present in glass.

Do you agree with me?
Are you team glass or plastic?

Guys the kitchen challenge suffered a bit. Life just happened. 🙈

There are still a few things I want to share. I am not finished yet. So look out for my two cents🤣

It is exam season and I packed some care boxes for two matric ladies.

There is a free download on my blog. Under lifestyle. I also added the link in my stories. I designed three fun exam cards if you want to download it. So send some exam ❤️ to everyone writing exams.

Here are some tags of the things I used

@nomubrands
@mamereconfections
I wanted to add fun @terbodorecoffee cookies but could not find any locally...they also might not have fit in the box. Buy the boxes are beautiful colors and the have great flavours.
Box are from @merrypak
Grass from @westpackstores

Day 21-Bake something At least once a week I bake

Day 21-Bake something

At least once a week I bake something. It normally happens on a weekend. I like that I can control the ingredients. I can add it to lunchboxes, and today these muffins came in handy when we had unexpected guests.

I know convenience is all around us, and it is so much easier to pick up baked goods from the supermarket. But make time to bake, to plotter around in the kitchen, involve your kids.

It is not a waste of time, it is therapy, it is family time, it is togetherness, it is hospitality....

The recipe for these delicious Blueberry, almond muffins are up on the blog. Link in bio.
