BREAKFAST
:: Green Smoothie* with broccoli
LUNCH
My Dad came over from Canberra for lunch so we went out to a local cafe called Kettle & Seed.
DINNER
As I mentioned yesterday, my Irish man came home and asked if it would be OK if we had his team over for dinner tonight to celebrate Michael’s 40th birthday. So I got him to pickup a couple of chickens and some red capsicum and chilli. And the birthday boy’s favourite cake is orange and poppy seed so I added poppy seeds and oranges to the shopping list.
Everything else we had on hand. A really fun night and a great example of how having food in the house but not a ‘defined plan’ works really well to fit in with modern life.

I find that avocado is great for thickening a smoothie and is quite neutral in flavor. My husband, who dislikes avocado on its own, never suspects it’s in the smoothies that I make.
Great tip! Thanks Adelaida 🙂
