21.01.2022 Make your voice heard!

20.01.2022 Week 5 of Family Food Patch finished. Can't believe graduation is next week already! Had great workshops from the group today on drinks, getting kids involved and fussy eating. Lots of practical activities and brain storms. Morning tea was an exploration of less familiar fruits to some of us - exploring the textures, smells, tastes, visual appeal of dragon fruit, lychees, star fruit, papaya, pomegranate, candy melon and passion fruit. We learnt about the ripeness and flavour...s when picked at the perfect time. Lunch was a colour-fest of kebabs with marinaded chicken, haloumi, sweet chilli tofu and a rainbow of veggies. Delicious with fritters and salad leaves. We also talked about eating together with families in different cultures. Marta shared a photograph of a typical Ethiopian style meal where the food is presented beautifully in a large share platter that everyone collectively eats from. A real food fellowship. #vegitup, #getfruity See more

12.01.2022 We were just talking about gender and potential barriers to physical activity in our Family Food Patch training last week -navigating hormonal and body changes and building self confidence. This is a great way to share your voice and make a difference.

Big heads up that our NEXT training (after Ravenswood) will be in Term 2 next year at Jordan River Service Inc - Gagebrook Community Centre.

01.01.2022 A colourful day of food with Tasmanian School Canteen Association dip recipes for morning tea - white bean, carrot and beetroot - followed by palaak paneer with veg stir fry and naan bread. Delish! Great information from Kate about the differences with intolerances and allergies, then brainstorming and sharing the minefield of label reading. Next week we workshop drinks, fussy eating and getting children involved!
