I'm Julie, and I live with my husband and three young daughters in New South Wales suburbia, Australia. This is the online journal I kept until recently, of how we are trying to live more simply & sustainably in suburbia.

This blog is on indefinite hiatus but please feel free to look around my archives for some inspiration in your own journey to living more lightly and sustainably.

The Nourishing Gourmet :: Pennywise Platters Carnival

Kimi at The Nourishing Gourmet is hosting a "Pennywise Platter" carnival each Thursday, starting tomorrow (i.e. Thursday in the U.S), which promises to be really exciting for those of us trying to feed our families well on a budget. As Kimi explains on her blog:

For many of us, these are not the easiest of times. Budgets are tight, but we still want to eat well. And many of us have children that we want to nourish in these important growing years. So many of the books and blogs and websites out there devoted to eating frugally center on cheap, unhealthy food and buying regular grocery store items on sale. I recently picked up a book with “Five Dollar Meals” in it, hoping to get some ideas for my family. But I quickly realized that I wasn’t going to find anything “usable” for my family because almost every single recipe started with canned and packaged products. I promise you, this isn’t the only way to eat on a budget! There is a better way!

I'm hoping to contribute to the carnival in the near future (not this week - it's been a busy week!), but I encourage you to check it out :-)
