Pizza Night!

We had a big day today!

The kids were determined to eat their weight in meat due to free BBQ’s being held everywhere for Australia Day.

They had an 8.30am bacon breakfast at the showground and then we headed to the bay to watch the Aboriginal Smoking Ceremony where they had a steak sandwich lunch. 🤨

It was definitely not our healthiest day.

We came home around 11.30am to deliver groceries to friends who are housebound with Covid and then after lunch we went to find some salt water and spent the afternoon in the ocean. 🌊

By the time dinner came around we wanted something easy. 🍕

We bought the gluten free pizza bases from the supermarket and then grilled some capsicum, red onion, mushrooms & egg plant, threw them on top (with a little tomato paste and smokey BBQ sauce) and then into the oven for 15 min on high heat.

We served with a drizzle of olive oil, a few dollops of basil pesto and a handful of fresh roquette.

So good!

This blog was inspired by the film Julie & Julia, starring Meryl Streep & Amy Adams.

Julie decides she will take her love of cooking to the next level by cooking every recipe in Julia Childs French cookbook, in one year! 500 & something fancy, technical recipes!! While working full time!

Julie writes a daily blog about her time in the kitchen for herself & other amateur cooks who may, or may not be, reading along. You gotta watch it (http://thehomeschoolyear.com/about/).  Or read it here. (http://thehomeschoolyear.com/book)

I loved that she wrote every day. I loved hearing about her small everyday frustrations, with the recipes & with life. It really inspired me to throw myself into something.

The timing was perfect as we have just decided to homeschool our children as a lifestyle choice and I thought…Cool! A daily blog will be perfect!

There must be other families out there wondering if there’s another way to live? Another way to do ‘family life’?

If you’re here, then hello & welcome aboard! Please feel free to sit back & watch it all unfold. Put the kettle on & check in with us each night to see what went down and how we all got over the line. I’m sure we’ll find our rhythm, right?

Are you a homeschool family? If you’re watching the wheels fall off this thing, I’m open to your emails or comments any time. I would love them! I am very friendly, & I could use the help.

Ok, come hell or high water….I’m in. A daily blog, for 12 months. I’ll be right, here.

Kindly, Lisa x

Can we be friends?!
