Earlier this week, Pine Rivers Branch facilitator Paula and helper Linda delivered the second of two cooking workshop with ROPE Association πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³

ROPE is a non-profit organisation that provides support services to people living with intellectual disabilites, empowering them with information, education and life skills training. The group of 10 participants came together to learn how to make a healthy and simple chicken fried rice recipe that was a big hit with both participants and staff.

A big thank you to Paula, Linda and all of the staff at ROPE for making the day such a success! πŸ‘πŸ‘

πŸ“£πŸ“£NEW Recipe Alert!πŸ“£πŸ“£

This One Pot Vegetable Risoni is packed with veggies and makes a delicious side dish to serve alongside grilled meat, chicken or fish. If you don't have these vegetables on hand, you can easily swap them for leek, pumpkin, sweet potato, corn or cauliflower.

Not only is this recipe delicious, but the best part is that it all comes together in one pot, meaning less washing up afterwards! ☺️

πŸ¦Έβ€β™€οΈπŸ₯• Supermarket Superheroes has arrived at Quilpie FoodWorks!

Quilpie FoodWorks has partnered with QCWA Country Kitchens to launch the Supermarket Superheroes campaign, designed to encourage shoppers to add more fruit and vegetables to their meals and cook at home more often. πŸ‘©β€πŸ³

Research shows that the way food is marketed and displayed can influence what we buy. That's why you'll see fruit and vegetable superheroes, eye-catching displays and simple meal ideas throughout the store, helping to put fresh, frozen and dried fruit and vegetables front and centre. πŸ‘€

Store Manager Ali is passionate about the health and wellbeing of the Quilpie community and has organised special discounts on selected fruit and vegetables to support the campaign. ✨

A huge shoutout to local Country Kitchens facilitator Michelle for making this partnership happen!

Small changes can make a big difference to our health and wellbeing. If you are in the community or just passing through, be sure to visit Quilpie FoodWorks and check out the Supermarket Superheroes! πŸ₯•πŸŒπŸ₯¦

Last week, facilitators from our Malanda branch enjoyed a couple of fun mornings visiting the children at Malanda C&K Kindy. Tying in with the β€œeating a rainbow” theme the children have been learning about, everyone had a wonderful time making dolphin bananas and playing a fruit and vegetable guessing game. πŸŒˆπŸŒπŸ‡

A big well done to Anne, Carol, Christine and Wendy for organising such a fun and engaging activity!

Looking for a few simple ways to make everyday meals and snacks a little more nourishing? Start with small swaps that fit into real life

Try:
β€’ Fruit juice or cordial β†’ a piece of fruit
β€’ Sugary cereal β†’ porridge or wholegrain cereal
β€’ Soft drinks β†’ water or plain milk
β€’ Potato chips β†’ plain popcorn or wholemeal pita chips
β€’ White bread β†’ wholemeal or wholegrain bread
β€’ Butter β†’ mono- and polyunsaturated oils or margarine

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Small changes can build confidence in the kitchen and support healthier habits over time.

Which swap could you try this week?

Have you seen the Country Kitchens Supermarket Superheroes in your local supermarket? πŸ¦Έβ€β™€οΈπŸŽ

They’re helping communities to buy and cook with more fruit and vegetables. But no single fruit or veggie saves the day aloneβ€”it takes a whole team of heroes to power your plate. πŸŽ–οΈ

This week’s hero… Apple! 🍏

When interviewed, this lunchbox favourite said:
β€œBite me, chop me, bake me, I'm delicious any way!” πŸ’œπŸŒˆ

APPLE superpowers:
⭐ A quick and easy snack – Great for lunchboxes, road trips or afternoon snacks.
⭐ A healthy dessert – sprinkle with cinnamon and bake for a delicious and healthy treat.
⭐ Fiber powerhouse - contain soluble fiber, which is great for gut health and more.

Remember, it takes a whole team to power your plateβ€”so keep mixing it up with lots of colourful foods! πŸŽ–οΈπŸŒˆ
