25.01.2022 Gourmet Juniors... your silly season heroes up in lights!

24.01.2022 Honoured to be featured with Evie in todays @theheraldsun on an article about ambition. I feel very lucky to be able to own Gourmet Juniors and see my dream of helping time poor parents nourish their children easily come to life daily. Its the support and love of all of our customers that makes the journey of being a working mum worthwhile and gives me the encouragement to keep going! So thank you! To show my gratitude take 15% off all online orders until Sunday. Just use the code HERALDSUN on www.gourmetjuniors.com.au

22.01.2022 Gourmet Juniors Bolognaise... the perfect Monday night dinner, full of veg and oh so easy and simple. Just like we wish Mondays were....

21.01.2022 Hello! After our social media slumber we are back! I loved this little sentiment seen on @juniormagazineonline With world kindness day just last week its the perfect reminder that every kind act counts, whatever the size. As a family, aim for just one each a day and build from there, its such a healthy habit to form.

21.01.2022 In a most difficult time our hearts were filled today by the kindness of The Pantry Brighton who specially made Camillas favourite cake for her 7th birthday. Sadly (but honourably) they have closed their doors for the time being in the fight against covid-19. We cannot wait to celebrate when you reopen. Thank you again for showing us the power of kindness

20.01.2022 Vegging out this week... with only a few weeks of official winter left we are cramming loads of veggies in to try to stay healthy!! Pumpkin and carrot soup has been a winner in the lunchbox this week! And our delicious Apricot Lamb Tagine has over half of the daily recommended intake of veggies. Veggies

20.01.2022 Just like coffee, Gourmet Juniors is made to make parenting that little bit easier. Happy International Coffee Day (even if its a baby cino in the cup )

19.01.2022 Get that winning feeling... enter our giveaway with @jakorganics @texasoak @jnr.life and @andie.kids to win one of two prize packs worth over $600! See original competition post on our feed to enter. Closes 7pm AEST tonight!!

18.01.2022 Our Winter Beef Stew is comfort food at it finest. Suitable for the entire family. Just purée, mash or as is. @ The Leaf Store

18.01.2022 School and kinder holidays meals and entertainment all wrapped up with Gourmet Juniors!

17.01.2022 Weve spent the last week in Tuscany and its been an absolute delight. A true highlight has been the vegetable garden at our villa that has gifted us a magnificent haul for breakfast, lunch and dinner! The tomatoes were absolutely amazing.

17.01.2022 Friday is coming in hot! Platter inspiration for your kids dinner so the the adults can relax (well try to!)...

15.01.2022 Today on World Kindess Day I read a wonderful tip from @natalia.stasenko on how kindness towards our children can help with picky meal time behaviour. I loved her advice on filling our childrens cups outside of mealtimes (connect with them, love them, make time for them, build their confidence) so they go into mealtimes happier and therefore less likely to complain and test boundaries. See our stories on how we put humour and fun into food to fill each others cups to help enjoy a happier mealtime

15.01.2022 A beautiful sunny Sunday and some amazing late summer plums from @theleafstore has us whipping up some of @eva_and_tissy s plum icy poles. This recipe is so delicious and is a great way to use any late season stone fruit that may have seen better days... Blood Plum Rocket Icy Poles Poached blood plums and nectarines 2 cups natural greek yoghurt Dash of honey ... Poach nectarines and plums until reduced and soft. Allow to cool. Blend all ingredients and freeze in rocket moulds. Makes 4. Save leftover poached fruit for breakfast! #realfoodforkids #gourmetjuniors #recipeoftheday #bloodplums #stonefruit #healthytreat Moulds available from @minimax_aus and online at @petersofkensington See more

13.01.2022 Pumpkin, one of the most popular first foods fed to little ones. Its nutrient dense and steams, purées and roasts beautifully making perfect for all methods of food introduction and stages of eating. What was your babys first taste?

13.01.2022 Help yourself hump day dinners featuring our healthy chicken nuggets are the best.

12.01.2022 Self care... as a parent its so important. Lately Ive been feeling exhausted and Ive had to take a step back (noticed weve been a little quiet on the gram?), Ive taken huge inspiration from @_first.best_ and implementing some of her self care techniques to help get my energy back. Tonight, I left the kids with an easy nourishing dinner (GJs of course ) and took myself to a yoga and meditation class at @upstate_studios . Such a perfect way to end the weekend, a chance to stretch and meditate and focus completely on you. Thank you for loving Gourmet Juniors and spreading the word about our business, we are working on some great new content and new recipes that are launching soon! Have a great week ahead and look after yourself! #firstbest

12.01.2022 Back to routine and a packed lunch for many today. Keep them warm and nourished with Gourmet Juniors in a mini thermos

11.01.2022 The wait is over... Gourmet Juniors healthy chicken nuggets are back in stock! Thank you for your patience. Find us back in the freezer at @brighton_grocer @theleafstore Elwood and Hawthorn @gumtree_goodfood Albert Park @toscanos_melbourne Richmond and Hawksburn! Just in time for the long weekend.

11.01.2022 Weve had the most amazing four days in London soaking up this amazing city which we used to call home. We scooted around town on foot with our @babyzenaustralia and skateboard hired from @firstclassbabyhire and it couldnt have been more perfect! See our stories for highlights. London is such a great town for kids and the food and coffee were Now to change pace in Italy!

11.01.2022 Full shelves (almost!) again at @theleafstore After a huge day in the kitchen with our amazing team more stock is arriving at your favourite local GJ stockist each day. Team work, kindness and hygiene getting us through!

10.01.2022 One of my most favourite parts of Christmas is bringing out the Christmas books again. What Do You Wish For? By Jane Godwin and Anna Walker is our absolute favourite

09.01.2022 We are so excited to share our brand video with you. Wing It Baby TV have expertly produced this short video to tell our story and show our passion for helping you nourish your family. We hope you enjoy it!

09.01.2022 Whilst in the ready meal capital of the world, London, I did a lot of research on their meals for kids. Theres a lot on offer but I was horrified at the huge list of ingredients, some took up half of the packaging (flavour enhancers, random ingredients that disguised sugar, colours, preservatives...). It really made me proud of the quality of our ingredients and how few they are! You can see all of the ingredients right here in this picture. We think thats the way it should be.

08.01.2022 At our core, we want to help families. Thats why we have chosen to partner with @thetype1foundation . This foundation was established by the inspirational Ange, who has a daughter with Type 1 Diabetes. She created this foundation to support families who have a child with this disease, to educate, comfort and support them. From today, all melbourne metro families who sign up to the Foundation will receive a voucher for some Gourmet Juniors meals to help ease the stress that so often comes around diagnosis time. We hope that they help.

08.01.2022 Today we watched @thetodayshow with interest as they reviewed store bought commercial chicken nuggets. Theres no guessing how the numbers (literally) stacked up. Too much salt, bad fats, over processed chicken, flavours, additives... the (long) list goes on. We are so proud to have reinvented the humble chicken nugget to include 1/4 daily (organic) vegetable needs for children, 1/3 of daily calcium, 100% natural and 100% hormone free chicken. Not to mention 100% delicious! Try them this weekend, and every weekend after that! #guiltfree

07.01.2022 Weve got the suitcases out and ready to embark on out first overseas holiday as a family of four! Over the next couple of weeks I look forward to sharing our trials, tribulations, triumphs and of course gourmet inspiration through London and Italy. Were excited, but nervous and in need of tips! Whats your best tips for travelling with kids? Pic courtesy of @olliella because our house is certainly not in a state to be instagrammed!

06.01.2022 Congratulations to our dear friends at @theleafstore who have opened on Glenferrie Road Hawthorn!

Run by the ever inspiring Ange (seriously 4 kids, marathon runner, foundation CEO and all round super human) The Type 1 Foundation supports all families with a child diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. We are proud to provide all Melbourne based families with nourishing ready meals upon diagnosis. We hope that this will bring comfort and ease in this difficult time.

03.01.2022 Journaling has become an important part of our day over the last three months. Reflecting on the positives has helped us see a huge shift in happiness and growth mindset. We use the Happy Self Journal for Camilla and we LOVE it- just five minutes a day to focus on her top things of the day, a reflection on her emotions and a chance to reflect on kindness, growth and learning from mistakes has not only inspired conversation but created a happier little being. Thank you Francesca for creating such an important and beautiful product.
