Lazy Zero Waste Cleaning Eating dessert

Trying to be Eco friendly and attempt healthy living with jobs and three children can sometimes be a challenge and I have to confess, we do end up going for quick options and having food waste.

So, after ending up with a punnet of plums that needed eating we came up with a quick recipie that ended up not only being really easy, but also ticked the boxes for clean eating and zero waste - win win!!

So here it is! 

Simply chop up your fruit (ours was plum and apple) place in a oven proof dish.  Mix oats with honey and a dash of vanilla essence and pour over the fruit.

Cook for 45 mins on a low heat (160 for us) and serve with Greek yoghurt! 

Tadah!

FiveinOne going green

Our mummy has been reading a blog called smallhousebigplanet.com and it has inspired us to become a more Eco friendly family.

We are having an 'ecover' and have made a list of what we can change in our house and things we do at home : 

•Reduce plastic bags and use shopping bags

•pass on our books after reading 

•Reduce amount of paper we use

•power down days to reduce energy 

•think about packaging before we buy

•Meatless Monday 

•try zero food waste 

•Reuse or give to charity instead of throwing away 

•Growing plants and vegetables 

Our first project is to reuse these wardrobe doors and turn them into a herb garden.

Thanks for reading, we'll keep you posted on how we are doing.

Bye for now

January Book Club with a twist

We decided to bring in a twist to the FiveinOne book club this year with all our names going into a jar and instead of buying our own books each month, we pick a name out of the jar and buy for that person.

Yes, we were very dubious about how this would work but were pleasantly surprised  about how excited the girls were to buy for each other and how well they picked! 

It's a fab way to expand on the variety of books we read, and build on the family bonds, although the choices for myself were guided by MrH, I think we all did fairly well!

Now just need to find the time to read them :)

Happy New Year!

Instead of New Years Resolutions, we have stolen an idea from @mokuska and each of us have picked a theme word for 2016 that we can work towards and go back to when we need to.

Looks like we were all on a similar page! Here's to a fabulous 2016 xxxx
