Welcome to DIVINE

I remember as a kid enjoying a chocolate and caramel slice that Mum used to make. The caramel was made with butter condensed milk and golden syrup. This is a healthier version of the chocolate caramel slice. Still sweet and rich so you don’t need much but less in refined sugar and more nutrient dense. This slice is Gluten and Dairy Free… enjoy a Divine moment.     Save Save Save Save Save Save Save Save Save Save

Do you live like the average home maker where you rush from one job to another, struggling to find time to plan and manage the food requirements for the people in your care. Where success in the kitchen becomes centered on just getting everyone fed and pointed in the direction they need to go. In that busyness we often do small things without thinking. Small actions that don’t register as having a bigger impact. The statistics on food waste shows that our actions count. Our actions in and around our home and community have a bigger impact. Let me share with you some of those statistics. The average New Zealand family throws away more than three shopping trolly’s full of food. Collectively that is 123 oo tonnes of food every year at a cost of $872 million. We are all responsible for these figures. Globally this renders itself as one third of the food produced for human consumption is wasted. Scarey. Fortunately food waste is becoming a topical issue resulting in more understanding of the level of the problem and initiatives and systems being put in place to combat the problem. So what can you do to help reduce food waste? Recently on a lunch time run a ‘Divine person’ in my community had taken action to do their bit in reducing waste. They were offering free feijoa’s outside their house. They had too many for their needs and made sure that they did not go to waste.         Enjoy create Divine moments for all – for Community.     Save Save
