We are back full swing and we are now running our 10 week program. This week we started back on and the theme was ‘Its How We Roll’.

Everyone had a great time learning how to roll rice paper roll and with left over ingredients turn them to asian noodle salad and we have enough to even make stirfy.

Next week theme “Garden of Manunda” so we will be cooking and picking our fresh produce in the garden.

If anyone is interesting please pm us…..

This is the third week of our program. We welcome Katherine to our team. We are excited to see her grow and share our life skills with her.

So today is “WHAT IS IN YOUR PANTRY”.

This morning, we went to centacare to grab one of their
Food boxes from Oz Harvest, and we also brought stuff in our pantry that we usually have or need to use up.

We are going to get creative to see what we can come up with and post what we end up making.

If you know of any organisations that would love to have us or even join in, let us know.

Happy Ordering

We had a second week of our program. This week was all about pasta and homemade healthy pizza.

- We discussed different brands of cheese, deli meats, pasta etc all the ingredients we used today. We even discovered ways of clever marketing on packaging.

- How to incorporate frozen vegetables to our pasta dish and how easy it was to just add it without making a fuss. We did a before and after taste and they preferred with vegetables.

- Pizzas the difference with doughy pizza/ dominos to using wraps which have less calories and we even timed how long it took to make. It was 5 minutes.

- Katherine even learnt to make a tropical fruit platter for everyone. She was so pleased she made it and how easy it was. She couldn’t stop smiling

- All ingredients we use is what everyone had at home, and all under $3 a serve how good is that.

- Also mum and daughter had an opportunity to connect through cooking and sharing. They all left with full belly and meals to be taken home for dinner. Elanora was so proud she made a dish that looked so good. We couldn’t believe she did that.

This is what it is all about walking away feeling empowered with more knowledge and skills.

Happy long weekend. We look forward to cooking for you.

Today we launch our new Project/program this has been on my heart to do for the last 8yrs but the last 6 months the deep desire/conviction has been heavy on my heart.

I have partnered with Sam from Family Focus who has also that drive to see family connect and also young people who are on foster/ residential care to find some kind of direction in their life. I have worked with Sam for a few years now with some of her young people that she support and the difference that has made and the life impacting experience they received.

We are excited nervous/ anxious and even unsure if we are just big dreamers to Create Change A Bite At A Time’ but we are going to give it a go.

We would love your support by just sharing and also encouraging us along the way. This is how Eat Real Started and 10yrs later we are still at it. We have seen so many positive changes that it out weighs all the turbulence time.

Xx

Looking sharp Lane ‘2 GUNS’ Moody

It has been a long fight camp for Lane. 10 weeks ago Lane made a decision to eat, sleep and train Muay Thai! More so than normal. This photo shows Lane, straight after weigh ins, physically and mentally ready to jump the ropes tomorrow night.

It has been made so much easier with the help of Eat Real Cairns and Elsa supporting Lane with nutritionally dense foods! Lane cannot thank Elsa enough for getting him ready for this. Lane also cannot thank his gym, DF.Gym, and his coaches to get him ready. Lane is incredibly lucky to have such amazing people to help raise him to be who he is today!

Tomorrow night he jumps the ropes to fight for the WMO Aus Jnr Title holder. Good luck to all the fighters and don’t forget, there will be no live streaming so you will have to jump on to livecombatsports.com.au to watch the fights.

Sorry l’ve been behind a little with my posting and updates. l have been busy more on my personal life with lots of new things that l’ve been getting involved in. While doing all our online meals, events, catering and work experience that has been coming in our kitchen.

One of them is launching a program with Sam from Family Focus - where we are connecting & educating through food & working with disengaged youth, family and community.

The last 4 months l have been back doing group
Fitness and pt which was what l did for 20 yrs and stopped only the last 5 yrs to just only focus on Eat Real.

I am grateful to Pat from DF for asking me to come back to his gym after all these years to take on some of the classes.

The other thing l have been able to do is to help fighters with their meals to help fuel their body while cutting weight and the latest one is Lane l am seeing a big difference in Lane who fights under Fight Academy at Destination Fitness.

A 16yr old who turns up and train hards day in and day out he just needed help with his nutrition . Lane has one of the most supportive mums who makes sure he is on track. Tress l look up to as a mother and love our chats, you’re so encouraging and have helped me a lot in our talks. Thank you l appreciate you.

We love supporting young people chasing their dreams and at the same time educating them with Eat Real Food which is always going to have a positive effect in our society.
Healthy people Healthy Community.

Now time train!!!!!

I can’t believe it has been almost two weeks and l haven’t posted any updates. We have been super busy with catering, events and also l am very excited to finally share our latest project/program that we have been working on…

This is one of my long term goals and l am incredibly blessed to partner up with Sam from Family Focus.

This is something we have been talking about for a while and we are now putting into action.

What is this programme about? It’s about connecting families, young people, disadvantaged & disengaged people through food. We know that in order to have a healthier community we need to start at the ground base and thats feeding our body with wholesome food.

This is through demonstrating, talking and sharing. This is not a tick and flick programme as we all know that this doesn’t really work. It may look good on pen to paper but this isn’t working.

How did we learn when we were growing up? Its through being taught hands on. As you all know this is how we have done it with our own programme in the kitchen for the last 10yrs and we have seen that it works.

We will keep everyone updated and we can’t wait to share with you our journey.
