PICNIC BREKKIE "Love heart bread" ❤️ (egg- in

PICNIC BREKKIE
"Love heart bread" ❤️ (egg- in -the -hole toast) is one of Tiny T’s most requested breakfasts. While her older siblings are out this morning, she requested for a special picnic brekkie on the verandah with baby T.

The last month, though thoroughly blissful, has been hectic for the whole family. Being the previous baby of the family, Tiny T has slipped into the role of a big sister without a fuss and loves her baby brother to bits. Realising that I haven’t spent much time with her recently, I know we both needed to have some special picnic bonding time together.

Having done picnics on the verandah a few times, this girl knows the drill! She sees to setting up the picnic mat, getting the teapot and cups ready, and adding the sheep skin (“for the baby" she explained 👶🏼). She gladly entertained her brother while I prepared her favourite brekkie.

It might have taken a lot longer to set a picnic up while juggling with a feed-on-demand newborn. But it makes it all worthwhile to see Tiny T in her usual picnic spot, savouring the first bite of buttery "love heart bread" with a satisfied smile on her cheeky face. 😌 “ 谢谢，妈妈。太好吃了！” （Thank you, Mum. It’s delicious. “) #sayingiloveyouwithfood

R U OK? This year has been crazy. I think you will

R U OK?
This year has been crazy.
I think you will agree.
Troubles seem to arise like the rough seas,
One wave after another.
Anxiety levels are heightened in isolation,
Miscommunication leads to strained friendships.
Isolation becomes an excuse to be alone,
Making room for a buffet of unhealthy thoughts.
Bottling them within,
Swallowing every hurt.
Slowly sucking every colour of joy away.
The day will come when a small comment,
a misplaced item,
an unfulfilled expectation
will unleash the craziness within.
.

Amongst this mess, look up.
We want to know that we are here.
We understand.
Just a message or phone call away,
We are more than just your local fermenters.

Most importantly, a man after God’s heart.

All of which describe this man who became a father more than a decade ago. This shot reminded me of Issac Newton’s quote “ If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. “

I’m indeed blessed to know that these are the shoulders that our children are standing on to see further on their life journey.

I’m not going to lie. Being a parent is tough. It all begins with the sleep deprived nights with a newborn to learning how to decode the complexity of a teenager’s mind (that’s just where we are up to in our parenting journey!).

Yet each one of our children is a blessing. It is through them that we see a reflection of our weakness and fruits of labour. It is through them that we’ve learnt to embrace the difficult times and cherish the happy ones.

And it is through them, we are always reminded the need of a loving Father whom we can call upon, lean on and seek strength from at all times.....especially when we are most weak and vulnerable.

So on this day, we at GUTSY would like to remember all GUTSY daddies, granddads and great- granddads out there. Wishing you a Happy Father’s Day! And to strong 💪🏼 shoulders!

We love oak barrels for so many reasons! We believ

We love oak barrels for so many reasons! We believe that oak barrels are the best vessel we can use to ferment our vegetables. They are chemical-free, sustainable, and help to create some great flavours.

During fermentation, vegetables will often get very acidic. Depending on time, temperature and levels of carbohydrates, vegetables can achieve a pH of 3.5-3 during fermentation. Vegetables fermented in plastic, poor-quality stainless steel, or even ceramic crocks with the wrong type of glaze, can be problematic.

Imagine our acidic vegetables sitting in one of these containers. After 3-4 weeks of fermenting the flavour is noticeably changed... but what about the chemicals? 😟

This is why we love our oak barrels! 😍 Oak barrels are great as they contain no artificial chemical and produces lovely flavours. Fermenters have been using oak barrels for thousands of years for sauerkraut and kimchi. We love being able to carry on that tradition to create our healthy and #gutsy ferments!

Doesn't this look like a happy home for fermenting veggies? We think so! 😉

Red Wine & Garlic Osso Bucco Stew served with herb

Red Wine & Garlic Osso Bucco Stew served with herb butter quinoa, sprouts & @gutsyferments Green Papaya kraut? Yes, please!

This nourishing meal, rich in gut-healing marrow and collagen, is another of our family's favourite winter meals - especially on those windy nights that we have been experiencing recently! I always make sure to cook up a couple of meals worth of Osso Bucco Stew as we will happily have it multiple times in a week and it always tastes better after sitting overnight.

Having enjoyed this since she was first started solids, Tiny T has become quite the expert from instinctively using the narrow edge of the spoon to finding the “jelly” around the bone and getting every bit of marrow that she can possibly find. And I’m sure she 👧🏻 will be passing on this essential gut skill to her baby brother 👶🏼 in the not too distant future.

Who else loves all that #gutsy goodness? 🙋🏻‍♀️

It’s been a rough yet blissful week of working out a new family routine around our latest addition. The well intended plan to cook up nourishing meals and prep snacks often go out of the window having an arm full of baby 👶🏼 (whom I savour every moment with!).⁠
⁠
Having gone through this newborn phase a fair few times now, I well know that these moments, though at times can be testing, are also incredibly fleeting. As I make the conscious decision to sit back, slow down, and take time to enjoy my baby, we are blessed with family and friends that have kindly rocked up at our front door with nourishing meals and snacks.⁠
⁠
One particular snack, made by one of my sisters-in-law, was a winner - even with the kids who don’t particularly like walnuts! So I thought I'd share her recipe with you all. ⁠

INGREDIENTS:
▪️ 1 cup dried apricots (pitted)
▪️ 1/2 cup dates (pitted)
▪️ 2 tbsp chia seeds
▪️ 1 cup cashews/almonds
▪️ 1/2 cup shredded coconut
▪️ 2 tbsp coconut oil
▪️ 2 heaped tbsp hydrolysed beef collagen
▪️ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
▪️ 1 tsp cinnamon
▪️ 1/2 tsp turmeric
▪️ dash of pepper
▪️ pinch salt

Simply put all of the ingredients into a food processor until broken down into a coarse crumb and then roll into 2.5 cm bliss balls.
⁠
I especially appreciated that she added collagen peptides to up the gutsy factor in this snack. To make these bliss balls even more digestible, you could activate the walnuts and ferment the dried fruits in water kefir for 1 week.⁠
⁠
