Get Your Teenager Cooking!
Get your teens cooking at home these holidays!
It is important to encourage teenagers to make healthy food choices, especially during the school holidays when food plays an important part in their day. Regular, healthy meals provide nutrients, energy and sustenance, which means your teens feel fuller for longer, reducing their desire to snack on processed foods.
Teenagers are capable of cooking nutritious meals for themselves and the family. With support and encouragement, preparing homemade food can be an enjoyable and rewarding process, helping them to develop life skills and nurturing independence.
Make a meal plan, write a shopping list and take your teens with you to purchase the necessary ingredients, making it a learning and budgeting experience at the same time. It's a win-win situation for everyone! (Although it does require some effort, which your teens may be initially resistant to 😂)
Our friends at Beef + Lamb New Zealand have plenty of tasty recipes to help inspire your teens, like these Easy Mince recipes ... www.recipes.co.nz...
Saint Johns Butchery has a fabulous range of top quality meats to choose from and our friendly staff are always available to provide advice if it's needed. See you in store soon!

Original Art on Baseball Caps / Hats
Hello everyone,
I am presenting a limited release of hand-painted artwork on Baseball Caps. There will only be 29 caps in this range. For now, please do have a look at the first seven Caps attached. I will post more in the future as I work on them.
Price per piece = $55.00.
Fabric look/feel is suede-like (not real suede). It is a really nice quality cap. You can zoom out each photo to view better.
Adjustable backstrap with metal clasp.
NOTE: Some Caps have more than one photo to give you views from different sides (I can send you more photos if required).
Mother's Day is just two weeks away. This would make a really memorable yet practical gift for that special person. OR...get it for yourself! Just know that when you are wearing it to brunch, on your walks or at tennis/golf, YOU are the only person in the world with this original piece of wearable art ☺️.
Pickup in Remuera or happy to courier:
P&p $16.00 (with signature)
Rural addresses +$5.50.
If you want it sent overseas, I am happy to quote.
For the remaining Caps that I will be painting, if you have any suggestions that you would like to see, or if you would like to order a cap with a particular bird/flower et , I am happy to consider. No portraits please! That would be too hard on fabric 😅.
Have a lovely weekend,
Connie.
PS. I apologise for the low photo resolution as I had to resize them down to be able to post.
