- Hey Everyone!
A What we eat in a week, everyones fave! These are a lot of work to put together lol, so I generally only do once per grocery cycle, and try and pick the best time to share, which for this one was post the food hamper / pantry collection, using up that newer fresh stuff in with whatever we had left as well!

I am always appreciative of your time spent to put out your videos, especially with your family needs. Thank you for making me happy.
Girlfriend, you’re a Gold Metal Winner in Cooking. You make delicious food with whatever you’ve got while working around food allergies and only shopping every 8-9 weeks. Hats off to you! Debi in Vicksburg, MS, USA 🥰🥰
Absolutely love how Darryl shows off the pot and meal when he appears in the clips! It just shows how much he supports the channel and really makes me laugh!
We've definitely made it a bit of a game hehe, its fun, and I do appreciate him coming and helping with both the youtube aspect and just the cooking too :D
Girl, you are a legend! I salute you! What a job to take care of large family and stay sane. Thank you for sharing.
Delicious as always, nyssa, i dont how you come up with such a variety of meals every day. Darryl and kids are so lucky to have tasty good food every day. My kids would love to eat at your table. Thanks for all the effort putting out a lot of vlogs this week, i know it takes a huge amount of work on your behalf , but it's really appreciated.
Thank you for helping me and im sure others for all the inspiration and recipes.
You are spoiling us with so many videos; always appreciated. As always, looking forward to your planning and shopping videos - it's been a while!
What a great lunch idea for the children. Nyssa you overachiever 🤣 always such great meals and I appreciate the effort you put in.
Hi Nyssa!! No matter where you are in your grocery cycle all of your meals look delicious with so much variety. 😋
Darryll should make up an ad for his Vanna hand services!! Get a few extra bucks in! 😂😂 Blessings Nyssa and fam!
I noticed his hand modelling too😂❤
I really enjoy your videos so thanks very much.
I, as well, love all of the videos.😊
My goodness this is like old times.. I'm loving all of the videos.
Amazing selection of meals…I’m hungry even though I ate dinner 😁 Enjoy your time away, shopping yes, but catch your breath with a tea and chat with your mum.
I never blanch food before freezing. Hate the texture and flavor. I did an experiment (for me) last year. I had purchased 6 dozen ears of butter sugar corn (had to purchase this amount in order for the sale price) last year at the end of the season for $16. Now there's only 2 of us but I had shucked it, removed the kernels from the corn, laid it out in a sheet pan and flash froze them for 2 hours in the freezer before bagging it up. It was like I had just cooked up fresh corn on the cob....delicious!
The potato whistler is a bit like a recipe I saw for an Irish potato Flatbread. Xx
You have breakfast organised for the family 😊
Good meals and ideas from cleaning out the fridge and freezer.
Love the Guinea fowl in the background✔️
Interested in seeing how the wacky cake is made👍
Thanks Nyssa for a good video
They'd just nag me if I didn't hehe :D
They're so noisy, but I kinda love the noise hehe.
It's a great cake to have up your sleeve when you just want something super simple, its heavy on the sugar, but its a treat hehe :D
I can't imagine cooking that many hot meals a day. You do a great job.
It's a lot of time spent in the kitchen, but most of the time, I enjoy it hehe :D
Thanks again darryl. A hand model in the making❤. You really are amazing. I learn so much from you and i think the new oven is perfect for you xx
We have lots of fun with his flourishes now hehe :D
Another great video... seems like you finding your stride again.. thank you for sharing
It's about how we make..create.. congregate ..wonderful..I'm learning more...regards Karolyn Melbourne
You are on a roll, glad you're able to get the video's out. Did wonder how? the trees are doing. (a nice random question).
The geese are a bit rough on them :s. We’ve had growth but nowhere near what I would have hoped, part of the winter plans is to clean up the gardens but also put cages around the trees when we fertilise and mulch them at the end of the season.. fx one day we get some actual produce from them!
I love how you all say chooks.
Really good and tasty well thought out meals using up what you have ready for your shopping haul 👏👏👏👏👏 The backing singers Iam sure wait for you to start your intro love it ❤❤❤❤ As always a pleasure to watch ❤ 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Love from the UK x
Nyssa, you have done a wonderful job fixing a weeks meals with low supplies until your trip to replenish. Your hamper is coming in handy to stretch and tide you over. Everything looked yummy! TFS!!!❤
The food looks amazing. Hope shopping is successful and you enjoy time with your mom.
you are such a creative cook with fantastic ideas and use of ingredients available. I love watching and being inspired. Hope your next shopping trip goes well and isnt as exhausting as your last one….thank you always sharing 🥰🇦🇺
i love love love all your food videos partially because they have nothing to do with crochet or knitting (i'm in market prep heck right now) but mainly because your voice is calming and the food is real and meant to be eaten not photographed. so because people only show the best on social media .i look at the end dish and wonder of anyone in their house actually got to eat it? I also wonder if gordan ramesy kids ever look at his food and then ask for a peanut butter and jam sandwich. i look at the food you make and think yep the kids will eat that bet she doesn't get as many leftovers as she would like.
I think you did à great job using your groceries and made the family some delicious meals. I would like to see your favorite thermax foods you make.
Hope you have a safe journey to and from your grocery shopping Nessa ❤
My husband's favorite meal...meat and potato...only veg needed. Lol. Pretty yummy meals. 😊
Love Darryls appearance. You have some very tasty looks meals there, and I admire how well you cook for your family.
Beefys pies do an 'aussie style' pie. Its called the Ned Kelly and its bacon, steak, egg and cheese
These dinners look dang good for being the bottom of the barrel! Especially the sausage and mashed potato one!!
I’m loving all the videos. I’m also loving your viewer numbers going up. The word is spreading how good the channel is. Nice hand gestures Darryl, I’ll start looking for cameos in each video.
Hehe, they're happening more often lately! :D
Everything looked absolutely scrumptious!! I would devour it all 😊. Thank you for all your hard work and spoiling us with all these videos!!!!
Now I am hungry. Have a great week.
We love pulled pork baked potatoes and never have anything else with it , ita very filling
Yummmm! You make an amazing variety of meals. Hope your next supply run goes smoothly x P.S Loving how your hair looks!
I use mashed potatoes into potato cakes. Just add an egg, a chopped onion , and enough flour to make it thick enough to drop into skillet with butter . Brown, turn and mash with spatula as thin as you like. They are so easy to make and delicious.
That is what I would have preferred to these I reckon, bubble and squeak Pattie’s. These were a lot of work and kinda eh.. heh
That’s some dang good lookin meals!
Thanks Nyssa , great video . Safe trip . 😊
The food looked delicious 🥘
I don't know how you do it. I get in a cooking slump and just can't get motivated to make a meal.
Wacky cake is the best chocolate cake. I put lazy daisy coconut broiled icing on top. The best
I've never heard of whacky cake, I am in Scotland, and the topping sounds amazing! Could u pls share the recipe? Thank you.
The sundried tomato sauce looked delicious. All your meals looked great.
The kids love it, I’m glad, I’ll make sure to share the ratios when I finalise it, I’ve tweaked it a few times for in a pan versus the thermomix :)
Nyssa the guinea fowl are hilarious companions. That aside the flowers behind you are just lovely. I so appreciate each and everyone of your video's. You are so creative in your meal planning is amazing. And everything is delicious, and looks so tasty. I had never heard of an egg on a pizza 🍕 😕, but I will now have to give it a try. I too skip the blanching step for a better flavor/texture to our vegetables. I laughed at the coconut milk rice being a great method to make the curry milder for the children. I made a green curry, using a different brand ,so I wasn't familiar with how spicy it was, and silly me, I used the entire can. Oh my goodness it was hot. So I began adding more ingredients to cut the heat. I finally made Jasmine rice with chicken stock to serve it over, and that was perfect.
The snap dragons have loved the cooler weather! I will have to remember to plant them late summer next year as well because they struggled through the summer and took off only recently!
Heh, the kids def complain sometimes! Especially when trying new brands!
What you eat in a week looked absolutely divine and very yummy... a wonderful array of food for lunches and dinner.. Nyssa you make everything look delicious... 😋
Everything looked delicious! My big win tonight was a batch of hot dog buns! Still working on the recipe and the shaping - these look weird but taste good and (more or less) fit the sausages they’re meant for!
Woohoo! Hot dog buns I’ve tried a few times, a bit like the French bread it’s so hard to judge how big they need to be!
Your food always looks lovely. Will have to make the red curry.
Enjoyed as always xx
Maybe use the blanched veggies as part of a blended soup base? Then it doesn't matter if the texture is yuck. Also, now I'm hungry, so it's just as well it's dinner time.
Yes! We made a dairy free broccoli and cheese soup with about 1.5kg of the broccoli, the kids weren’t overly enamoured of it but D and I really enjoyed it
I’ve heard there is an egg limit here in Vic at Costco of one tray of 30 eggs due to bird flu. Don’t know if you’ll have same up in QLD. Thought I’d mention as you’ve said you are short on eggs. Decided I’m going to Costco this week b4 school holidays start end of this week. Have a great shopping trip.
Lovely! ❤ I can’t eat home canned corn. It’s disgusting to my palette. It becomes too sweet and i love my sweets! So, i freeze it unprocessed. It’s so much better and saves me so much time at the stove.
Yeah, I'm not too fond of it canned, most 'single' veg aren't really to my taste, mixed soups I do like though! But frozen works so well, it tastes almost exactly the same!
Very creative ideas I’m still learning
So many good looking meals. The wacky cake, I definitely need that recipe.
My goodness gf...you should open a cafe! Nyssa's Nook 🎉. The food looks scrumptious.
These are my favourite videos! Love seeing what you come up with for meals! Have you tried icing sugar sprinkled over popcorn? Its very addictive! How do your guinea fowl get along with each other? I have one group who pick on another group. So far they have killed one, a lavender one. The bullied ones now sleep with the geese or ducks! Safe travelling! Btw my sour dough starter never started! Im going to try again!
I don't know that I have had icing sugar over popcorn! we might have to try that as a treat!
We have one lavender and the rest are your standard colour in different variations, Penguin, as we call the lavender definitely gets some rough treatment, but has never been severely bullied, just notice sometimes that they are a little separate, they get along pretty well with the geese too, and we have a few chooks that free range because they just will not stay in the pens and the guinea fowl seem to spend time with them as well, its fun to watch sometimes!
I cannot get my starter consistent atm, I'm relying heavily on instant yeast lol.
You could name it WWEW…..what we eat weekly? Easier to type? I love all your videos whatever that are and appreciate your hard work.
Your food looks great!
Thank you :)
The chicken parcels , especially the dumpling shapes, look amazing. Your flatbread always look so delicious. There was potato and beans with that pulled pork dinner, they are veg .haha I know what you mean though, I love a good variety of veg at each meal. I'm not a fan of blanching either unless I need to store the veg for longer than a few weeks in the freezer. Great video, thank you for the hard work to make it. Safe travels Nyssa ❤❤
I definitely won't be going to the effort of blanching again, they only sit in the freezer for one grocery cycle, so its not a long term thing! :D
I was pretty happy withe chicken parcels, and hey, anything wrapped in pastry is a winner lol :D
❤❤❤❤❤
I don't see too many people who cook like you do nowadays. A lot of Moms just give their kids processed food. I know it has to be very hard coming up with all the different meals you make.
It takes a lot of time, not everyone has that time or prioritises that time for food prep, and that’s ok too, I’m grateful I have the ability to do what I do!
I would I love to have your hair.
I always think the same thing!
Yummy
Ingredients
4 medium potatoes, peeled and halved
¼ cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 pinch salt
This is the recipe I found but saves your eggs. Is done in a pan like yours and cut into quarters
I'll definitely give it a go, because maybe the egg is part of the reason it was so sloppy!
@OurSmallFootprint yep I have been meaning to try this one too and I will. I also saw that one recipe had put mushrooms in it like a pasty almost. Supposed could substitute mushrroms with anything really xx
omgggg send me a bowl of that coconut curry!!!!!!! looks SOOOOO good!!!!!!!!!
It’s such a fave, so simple with bought paste too!
What is it that you call a “hamper”? Here in the states a hamper is where we put our dirty clothes. 🤷🙂
Its what our food bank/pantry 'box' is called :). Each month we get a $50 'parcel' of items from our local pantry and they refer to it as a hamper :)
Those potato whistlers look like scottish tattie scones. Maybe research those
I will google, thank you! :D
Nyssa I’ve been meaning to ask you for a while - have you ever tried to make rusks? They’re very nice to dip in coffee of a morning.
The only rusks I know of are the tasteless ones for babies to teeth on lol, I'll have to google!
@@OurSmallFootprintnooo they are very popular in some other countries ;) If you ever see the Ouma Rusks in the South African week at Aldi pick up a box of the buttermilk or condensed milk ones. Of course you can also bake your own.
@@BonnyP-69r I just googled, they remind me of biscotti!
@@OurSmallFootprint yes you make coffee, then dip a section of the rusk into the coffee for about 4 seconds or so, before eating. I have a friend that makes them with all sorts of seeds, like a superfood. The bought condensed milk ones are weirdly vegan too. They last forever in an airtight container.
Just wondering why you use coconut cream instead of coconut milk? Is it purely your taste preference?
Most of it is cost/value. I can buy coconut cream tins and coconut milk tins for exactly the same price, the milk just has more water in it basically, so I buy the cream and water it down as needed :)
I am sooooo glad I don’t have to make food everyday for my family anymore. I just don’t have the energy! I occasionally make food and have them over, but my food just doesn’t take as good anymore.Half of the things you make, I have never heard of. Why do you use the kind of cheese you do? It can’t be cheaper, and you aren’t vegetarians. Seems like real cheese would be better.
She’s explained many, many times about her family’s dietary issues… You’ve frequently commented previously, so this isn’t the first time you’ve watched her videos and will therefore be aware of why she’s the only one who eats dairy…or would be, if you took notice of what’s actually being said 🤨
