FedWell

As we’re navigating the tween/teen era, here’s something valuable I’m learning about family dinner and connection;

When they seem furthest away, keep setting a place for them.

After a day of push back, serve their favourite meal and watch them soften.

Dinner can lay a pathway for repair and reconnection. A shared moment of comfort, sometimes without words, always with love.

When I was deep in postpartum 🐣, (the part where everything hurts, the nights feel endless and the world feels upside down), my mum stocked my freezer with muffins and soup 🥣. These things provided me with so much comfort at a time I hadn’t yet found my footing.

These are my version of those muffins. Full of oats for lactation 🍼, healthy fats like h**p, chia seeds & almond meal, fibre from carrot 🥕 & fresh apple 🍏 & free from seed oils/refined sugars.

I hope this will provide the same feeling of comfort for another new mumma.

This has taken me a long time to make peace with.

I believe as humans, we are meant to live as a village. Where each person thrives in what they do best. Where an aunt seamlessly steps in when a mother is sick. When the financial pressures aren’t solely on an individual’s shoulders. There is a natural give and take, a rhythm to live by, where we can afford to properly rest without feeling like our world will fall apart.

Instead, we are operating in isolation, expected to do it all. To be the cook, the worker, the child rearer, the housekeeper, the maintenance person, the carer, the driver and more. And somehow maintain friendships and relationships and health and well-being.

I hope FedWell can be a part of your village. To step in quietly whenever you need a moment to catch your breath. Because you are not a failure. You are human.

Mixing bowls, storage containers, utensils, you name it. Everything is glass, stainless steel or wood. And if an ingredient can be bought in glass versus plastic, we're onto it.

Our beef comes from KM Farming- innovative, regenerative farmers from WA's Southwest who supply high quality grass fed beef.

Today was all about perfecting these fluffy chocolate bites. A balance of indulgence and nutrition with ingredients such as zucchini, h**p seeds and flax meal.

A great little addition to a lunchbox or afternoon treat 🤎

This is a little preview of one of our recipe cards. Transparent ingredients list and serving instructions. Is there anything else you'd like to see on there?

Having dinner batch cooked and ready to go on busy days, has meant time to do the things I love.

I have the same demands- early morning soccer games, late night basketball training and countless loads of laundry 🧺

But instead of stressing about what to cook for dinner each and every night, I have found pockets of time to garden, read a book and find some time just for me.

I am very proud of my latest haul of greens 🥬
