New range 😍

Wow! a NEW range. Asian food cooking. This will really ramp up the deliciousness. It has a Thai theme to it.

Mae Ploy produces a range of Thai curry pastes: green, red, Penang and Massaman. These are authentic curry pastes that you would expect in a good Thai restaurant – and now available to the home cook. And at a fraction of the cost of a restaurant meal: the 400g tubs contain 8 serves of 50g each. (You don’t want to use more because they are spicy, so dilute with a can of coconut cream).

The Box Divvy price for the 400g tub is $4.11, one of the lowest prices in Sydney. (Most shops sell these around $5 or more). That works out at 51c per meal, or 13c per serve. Just add protein or vegetables, some fresh coriander and bingo!

Get going and start sharing recipes or we'd love you to share a photo of your cooking delights.

Hi I’m Hayley and I'm taking over the Macquarie Hills Hub which will now be in Cardiff South still on a Friday, and here is the link to join.
https://app.boxdivvy.com.au/register/hub/439

If you wish to read more about joining a Hub check this out
https://www.boxdivvy.com/join-a-food-hub

The goal of our food Hub is to cut your food bill, without compromising on the quality, freshness and variety of food. With minimal effort, minimal packaging and food miles, and still paying farmers and suppliers a fair price for their produce.

To see more about How box Divvy Works please look under ABOUT on this page.

Want to know how we work with our growers? https://www.boxdivvy.com/how
Maybe you’d like to see the pricing https://www.boxdivvy.com/products
We are, on produce, up to 30% cheaper on a seasonal basket than online supermarkets.

Why is that important?
We pay our farmers fairly, we have no complicated distribution centres so you will taste the difference.

What makes Box Divvy Unique?
We’re about community – farmers, you and neighbours. We share stories about farmers and produce here. I encourage you to share your recipes and show your cooking feats here for our group to discuss.

I look forward to meeting you and please enjoy the journey.
Any questions please ask.
Cheers,
Hayley

A special post wedding ceremony nibbles I made last weekend. Texture, colours, shapes, freshness, nutrients… all.on.point. definitely understood the assignment when the bride requested for a nourishing afternoon “harvest board” for their family and closest friends.

Let us all please take a moment to appreciate this incredible showcase of delicious breads… and both sweet and savoury butter boards. It was a conversation starter and definitely a show stopper!

Thank you Box Divvy!!!

I love a slow and lazy weekend where to-do list is totally ignored and some kitchen creativity is unleashed. But then again, I am always in the kitchen!! Be it my 5am wake up call to get some reading/studying/enjoy-the-coffee-while-its-hot done, or school morning brekky/pre-dinner rush hour, or a spare minute to crochet - my happy/relaxing place is always where the fresh produce is!

Thank you Box Divvy!!!

The very humble PAPAYA!

Packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, including vitamins A, C, and E, as well as folate, potassium, magnesium, and fibre.

High in Antioxidants.
It contains potent antioxidants like lycopene and beta-carotene, which help combat oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

Supports Digestive Health.
Papaya contains enzymes like papain, which aids in digestion by breaking down proteins and facilitating nutrient absorption. This can improve digestive health and alleviate symptoms of digestive disorders like bloating and constipation.

Boosts Immune Function.
Rich in vitamin C which strengthens the immune system, helping the body defend against infections and illnesses.

Promotes Skin Health.
The vitamins and antioxidants in papaya contribute to healthy skin by promoting collagen production, reducing inflammation, and protecting against damage caused by UV radiation.

Anti-inflammatory Properties.
Some compounds in papaya possess anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions like arthritis and asthma.

Potential Cancer Prevention.
Research suggests that the antioxidants and phytochemicals found in papaya may help prevent certain types of cancer by neutralizing free radicals and inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.

In a nutshell - having papaya in your life can only be good for you! If i am feeling under the weather, I would find them green and unripe, I cook it (like you would with a carrot) with chicken in a ginger broth and chili leaves. Absolutely soothing and delicious!

And… there is the very refreshing papaya shake too!

100% superstar of a superfood!

Price comparison between Box Divvy and ColesWorth.
🤯
Thanks for sharing Box Divvy Lawson - Orient

There is no way to sugarcoat things: fresh produce prices are up – by 7-8% over the past fortnight. Supply shortages due to unusually hot and wet weather, as well as seasonal crop changes are significant contributors.

So last night I went online to do a price comparison, comparing prices with Colesworth on 15 basics that I have put into my new shopping list. And guess what!?! I'm way in front shopping through Box Divvy.

There is something about a one pot dish that gives me a soothing, comforting, heartwarming feeling. It’s like a very warm big hug!

Apart from the frozen peas and corn, everything in this beautiful hearty dish is from the wide array of Box Divvy offering. The chorizo, tomatoes, Arborio rice, tomato paste, spices, cos salad, onions, Beerenberg salad dressing.

This dish is not risotto nor paella. But one big delicious, flavourful hug in my ever trusted cast iron casserole! It is not a casserole either!

BREAKFAST! They say is the most important meal of the day.

With life always at a constant rush especially on a school day, it is soooo easy to just grab a packet of something, pour in a bowl, add milk… surely it’s healthy right? Cause it got milk!

Well, in my own observation… on those rushy days when we would choose for the easy brekky option, by 9am, kids are hungry…again! Hungry, grumpy, irritable, and tired!!! And without a fail, those are the mornings when they would have opted for the packet with a “healthy tick of approval” by some apparent health organisation! It is all about the profit friends! They don’t really care about our irritability or our rapid spike in blood sugar levels leading to a subsequent crash (hence the moody behaviour and hunger).

Additionally, eating high-sugar foods on an empty stomach does not provide the sustained energy needed to fuel our bodies throughout the day. It may give you the instant boost but it only last for a very short time!

If you need to wake up 10-15 minutes early so you can make a better and balanced brekkie that include a mix of protein, healthy fats, fibre, and carbohydrates to help stabilize blood sugar levels and provide lasting energy….then i would encourage you to go do it! You will for sure see and feel the difference! The energy will come. The happy jolly morning will come. The day is then set to a very good start!

In that light… Box Divvy has a few micro-herbs offerings. They’re tiny but full of flavour! I am so hooked to the coriander and celery at the moment! Sooooo good with however you like your eggs!

Exciting … EXCITING news!!

Want to create a recurring shopping list?

From next week, we will be able to set up any number of ‘Shopping Lists’ or standing orders that will be automatically added to our Splits when the order gets created.

How does it work?

Set up any number of Shopping Lists.

Weekly for me, it's always eggs, lemon, garlic, cucumber.
Fortnightly for me, it's milk, mince, chicken, rice crisps.

Do you have a weekly meal your family eats?
Or an item that is a staple in each week's shopping?
A standard fruit and veg list?
You decide.

Set the frequency for each List: how often do you want these Lists added to your order? Weekly? Fortnightly? Or only as needed?

Once set up, the items in your Lists will automatically be added to your Splits when the order gets created.

Box Divvy is always listening and making changes to simplify the way we do things.

A bit late to the party but… HAPPPPY 2024 friends! I hope the new year is starting off really well for you all! It has been busy in this part of the world with school holidays but the last two fridays have been a treat with divvy-livery!

We have been making LOTS of delicious food here!
Salads, grilled meat, variety of garlic/ginger/onion fried rice, pickles, cold pressed juices and smoothies, braised and saucy dishes, asian veggies, overnight oats and chia breakfast pudding, brain balls, garlic herb butter out of fresh pure cream, made the infamous Sizzlers garlic bread! and… i even made a rolled soft meringue/custard cake (i am not a baker at all)! All from box divvy!

We also did 4 sold out kids cooking classes and taught kids how to eat REAL food, difference between supermarket and farmers produce. Kids are amazing, they absorb everything, and it can be easy for them to make green choices when we lay out the foundation of awareness and education.

The most important thing in turning your dishes from good to superb is using super fresh ingredients! The rest is secondary! Wiith Box Divvy, you can most certainly taste the difference!

2024 is going to be great friends! We just need to be a little braver and try that snake beans with your mince, or that weird looking bitter melon or even anchovies and olives! And yes, pineapple belongs to pizza!!!

Love love love to you all!!!

As we draw close to the end of 2023, I want to take this opportunity to thank my little community/members for making our hub part of their daily lives! I only started being a hubster couple months ago and I have loved every second of it. The team at Box Divvy have been incredible and my members are the best people there are! I look forward to seeing them each week, especially their adorable little people that I have grown to love!

Merry Christmas friends! I pray over blessings and protection for each one of you. May the season be a reminder of HOPE for each of us and that PEACE and JOY always reside in our hearts and homes.

You are all a bright star that lights up our week!!!

With much love and gratitude,
Maggie

Happy happy HAPPY days! Milkshake and coffee on tap!

I have always chosen unhomogenised milk for the creamier and more milky taste. And it is less processed meaning it is the closest you can get to really really fresh milk!

Kids like it with their vanilla ice cream and make a “hand-shaken” milkshake out of it. And I love it with my sanity! I mean coffee! Iced or dirty chai…extra extra hot!

My ultimate “bits of this, bits of that” hack! With a gourmet mushroom pack and there you have it, better than Chinese restaurant stir fry veggies!

Chinese spinach
Capsicum
Green onions/scallions
Shallots
Beans
Snow peas

Sauce: oyster sauce, but if water, splash of sesame oil. Pinch of salt, pepper, sugar

Hot hot wok/pan with peanut oil (or sesame, rice bran, sunflower) snap fry shallots, ginger, garlic, toss in beans, snow peas, add carrots if you like (thinly sliced), then after 2-3 minutes, toss is your stir fry sauce, toss toss toss…then capsicum and your leafy greens. If you want it thicker, add in a cornstarch slurry.

Partnered with garlic and shallots fried rice cooked in butter. And it’s literally a firecracker of flavours! It’s delicious, healthy, very cheap and most importantly, making use of whatever is left in the fridge before your next divvy day!!

It’s my son’s bunny’s first birthday so he made him a carrot cake! Happy birthday BuddyLop!

CHIPS! Who doesnt like them??? Me! Unless its fresh cut and 100% brushed .
🥔
One of the things I teach my kids is to read the labels. If they can’t pronounce the ingredient, then it most likely came from a lab and should not go in our bodies!
🧪
These incredibly “scrumptidecious” (so yummy that my 18 year old who rarely eat chips
combined two words!) was peeled, cut, washed till water runs clear, soaked in cold water for minimum 30 minutes (or leave some in fridge overnight), drained, coated with potato starch or corn flour, then double deep fried in sunflower oil by a person (me!) and not by a machine! Add some home made seasoning and there you have it, kids heaven on a plate! So crunchy. So delicious and it is 100% the real deal! Oh, and did I say it’s GLUTEN FREE!!!
🥳
Takes a bit longer than opening a packet of frozen supermarket chips but man, all good things should not be rushed! The secret to the best chips in the world is to make it yourself!
