Dear followers, 
You may have noticed, I've been quiet. 🀐 I've been taking a much needed sabbatical from social media to focus on being more present with my family, build stronger real life connections and break the addictive cycle of mindless smartphone dependency that I felt had taken over my life. πŸ“²πŸ€― As a result, I feel that my @karlie_eat_to_live chapter has come to a close. 🍽️ Thank you so much for all your support over the past few years as I've cooked up many a storm. It's been a fun and delicious journey. 
I put a lot of heart and soul into Karlie Eat to Live and remain very proud of my posts. So I will leave this account open if anyone wishes to browse through my five years of culinary adventures! πŸ“…

All the best to each and every one of you,
Karlie πŸ™πŸ˜˜πŸ₯£πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§

I forgot to post about this when I was visiting family in New Zealand earlier this year. These little fig plants are offcuts from a large fig tree which grew in my Nona's backyard for decades while my dad and his siblings grew up in Wellington. My dad said he remembers these figs being very dark red on the inside. Well, I found out that the mother tree in my Nona's backyard was grown from a cutting that originally came all the way from Stromboli, a teeny tiny Italian volcanic island off Sicily from which my great grandparents emigrated to NZ over 100 years ago. This absolutely blew my mind. What precious little fig plants. Our real live family heirlooms! My aunt will plant them in her garden. What I would do to get a cutting to bring back to Sydney. 😍😍😍 #figs #italianfood #history #family #tradition #fruit #mediteranian #darnedquarantine

Homemade, spelt tiny teddies for my girl's teddy bears' picnic birthday.

I wanted to find a recipe sweetened only with fruit juice but in the end we just used this recipe, reduced the sugar content by about half which made it minimal, and they were delicious.

Teddy bear cake for Baby Eat to Live's first birthday. In hindsight the choc drops didn't really allow the bear's facial features to stand out, but I think ppl got the gist... 🐻

A belly warming hot lunch of Italian meatballs on soft, creamy polenta to brighten up a cold, wet Saturday. The ultimate comfort food. 
MEATBALLS - combine the following, roll into balls, drop into the boiling sauce and simmer until cooked through: 
500g beef mince
2eggs
2 slices of good quality bread, moistened with water, crumbled into breadcrumbs
1/2cup parmesan
1/2cup parsley (finely chopped fresh or dried)
S&P

SOFT POLENTA - bring 4cups milk and 4 cups chicken stock to the boil. Whisk in 2 cups polenta meal. Whisk constantly so it doesn't stick. Add more liquid if required. Add 3/4 cup pouring cream and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese. Continue wisking until smooth and porridge-like consistency (about 10 mins). TO SERVE - Spread polenta onto a communal serving tray lightly greased with olive oil. Carefully spoon meatballs on top, reserving the sauce in a jug for pouring on top. Garnish with parsley and more parmesan cheese. Let everyone serve themselves from the tray in the middle of the table. Even better with a nice glass of red. 🍷
Bloody. Delicious.

My #nutrientdense take on MAC 'N' CHEESE. Doesn't look like it, but there are 3+ servings of vegetables in this bowl! Yep, legumes count as veges for your daily five. πŸ–οΈ We all ate it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The pasta is #pulsepasta made with 100% red lentil flour by @sanremopasta, which makes it high in protein and fibre.

The sauce is all of the following blitzed together at whatever ratio that tastes good to you:

Roast pumpkin
Boiled cauliflower
Boiled egg yolks
Dash of pouring cream
Grated tasty cheese
Dried parmesan cheese
A sprinkle of almond meal to thicken
Unsalted butter

Toss the cooked pasta gently through the warm sauce. Serve with extra parmesan on top for the adults. Delish!

Baby Eat to Live ate it with green beans, some tomato slices and a small plum (not pictured). #macandcheese #macncheese #healthymacandcheese #vegetables #babyfood #toddlerfood #familyfood #nutritious #nutrition #glutenfree #grainfree #legumes #lentils #pasta

"Healthier" smash cake for the baby birthday girl made with organic spelt flour, slightly sweetened with bananas and a little honey. "Iced" with homemade cream cheese, which I made by straining @ali_eat_to_lift's homemade yoghurt, mixed with raspberries.

Why compost?

Did you know that organic matter, ie food scraps, that go into artificial landfill create greenhouse gases which are 25x more potent than carbon monoxide from cars? Food scraps in landfill also leech toxic chemicals into the soil. I recently learnt these shocking true facts at a composting workshop hosted by my Community Garden. 
Go to https://compostrevolution.com.au/ to buy a discounted compost bin from your local council. Anyone can use one, even if you live in a unit or apartment.
