Kitchen Garden Foundation

FREE MONEY FOR SCHOOLS to GROW VEGGIES!

How Cool is that! I have already been in contact with my little prep boy's school to inform them of this & to raise my hand to help out.

All Primary schools can apply to the Australian Government for grants of to $60,000 to fund infrastructure for the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden National Program.

The grants provide funding for the development of a productive vegetable garden & for the construction of a home-style kitchen on the school grounds.

Good Luck everyone!
Let's use this to teach our little ones what is important in life
& how to value our food & health!

I'd LOVE to hear what everyone thinks on this.

YEAHHHH! I'm so excited i have finally sourced a local person who makes the most delectable & lush Natural Australian Soy Wax melts, Candles, & Tealights. Plus i will also be adding her HAND MADE & Poured Natural Soaps.
YUUUMMMO!

They are so delicious! There are 50 different scents & flavors to choose from. the only problem is deciding which ones. Good Luck! LOL I had trouble deciding which one to burn first, but i'm extremely happy with my choice!

At the moment i have been burning Creme Brulee & ohhhh sooo nice! Hubby has even commented on the fact that he can smell them outside.

They are larger than your normal ones you get so you not only get QUALITY buy also QUANTITY! If it spills over it is a breeze to clean. Iknow i made a mess myself the first time & with a warm cloth you just wide it up & it's gone.

Product Testimonial

yay i have just received another testimonial. This time regarding our NEW BPA Free Bottles.

I love my BPA free bottles! Thank you!

Our family takes bottles of water filtered most everywhere
and its exciting to have a healthier alternative to plastic
bottles.
We particularly like the small size for our daughter, as we
sometimes take milk for her and it is so much more hygienic to
use the stainless steel bottles, and easier to clean too!

Thank you to:
Susan Wallis

My YUMMY Sweet Potato Cake
(same can be used to make Banana or Carrot)

Pre-Heat Oven to 180c for a fan forced oven
Butter your tin & coat with flour for easy extraction.

Ingredients
2 Cups of grated Sweet Potato, Banana or Carrot
125grams of Unsalted Butter
3/4 Cup of Sugar
2 Eggs
2 Cups of Self Raising Flour
1/2 teaspoon of Bicarbonate of Soda
2 Tablespoons of Milk

Method

Sift the Flour & Bicarb into the mixture & then
fold in the Sweet Potato (Banana or Carrot)

Cooking time
30 mins - 45 mins

Depending on your oven & the main ingredient.
Push lightly on the cake & if it springs back up it's cooked
or you can stick a knife in the center & pull it out. If the knife is clean
then it's cooked if not just leave it in for a little longer.

Allow it to cool slightly before you take it out of the tin. Depending on
the Main ingredient used you can also make the icing for it.
I like to make Vanilla Icing as everyone tends to like it.

For Vanilla Icing
2 drops of Vanilla Essence
2 Tablespoons of Butter
1 Cup of Icing Sugar

Method
Cream the sugar & Butter together then add the Vanilla Essence

I hope you ALL enjoy it like my family & i do.
Happy Cooking!
