Composting at our house is done in rolling compost bins, I would love to have a normal composting area but my yard just doesn't lend itself to this. We compost anything that my 9 chickens won't eat, which doesn't leave much. I have a compost bucket set up on my kitchen bench next to the chicken scrap bucket. We have reduced our food waste into our garbage substantially. We have also improved the soil in our raised garden beds

The last 2 years
We have knocked down our house and built a brand spanking new one and moved into that brand spanking new house and have been working on making it our home. This week we would have been 1 year.
We now share our home with Steve's parents who are very elderly and even though they were coping very much on their own, there is going to come a day when they won't, so we thought the best option for that was to all move in together. Aged care in this country isn't very good but they have us.
We have been working very hard on building our garden back to all it's glory.

Gluten and Dairy Free Cakes
It has been quite a while since I wrote anything here. I think it comes with working fulltime and having an hour plus commute.
Steve and I are starting on a whole food journey, so we are eating healthier than we have in the last 18 months. We've had a bad eating year, now it's time to get back on track.
I have a beautiful colleague at work that is turning 18 tomorrow she is gluten an dairy free so I volunteered to make her a cake.
The recipe came from the Healthy Chef web site and was really to make. In the morning I'll ice it with a avocado ganache.

Nutribullet beginning of week 3
Well we have owned the Nutribullet for 2 weeks now. We are finding it really great. I'm starting to get it all under control. The first week I ate too much fruit, now I'm only hsving the fruit in my breakfast smoothie, for lunch I've been making a vegetable smoothie and taking protien with me in a separate container. We've been having a normal dinner, with the addition of fruit icecream for dessert. Yummo. This fruit icecream is frozen fruit and either almond milk or cows milk, I have found that the cows milk leaves a fatty texture. Last night we added some yoghurt.
