🧊 What's currently in your freezer?

If the answer is "ice cubes and a packet of peas" then this is your sign 😂

I have a few tray bakes available for pick up today before they end up in my freezer! Reach out to organise pick up ✨- Show Friday 🎆

My regular customers know the secret...

A few sauces.
A tray bake.
A bag of fresh pasta.

That's several dinners sorted before the week even starts...

Some of my regulars message me for frozen stock almost daily, and sometimes they're collecting within the hour!

Trust me, Future You will be very grateful.

🇮🇹

📦🇮🇹 THURSDAY PICKUP DAY!

Firstly, thank you all so much for your orders this week. Every single order, message, share and recommendation means the world to our little family business. ❤️

A little reminder for pickup day...

If you've placed your order online, please refer back to your order confirmation for your pickup details. All pickup information is included there and it's the quickest way to find the information you're looking for.

📍 Pickup Address
8 Pindar Place, Proserpine

I can do eftpos / bank transfer or cash on pick up
- online orders are paid for at checkout 💸

This is especially important on weeks when I'm making fresh gnocchi, ravioli or large quantities of orders. I can sometimes be completely buried in flour, potatoes, pasta dough and packing orders, which means I may not get the chance to message everyone individually as quickly as I'd like.

If you've already arranged an earlier pickup with me, please refer back to our messages and the time we've agreed upon.

📞 For urgent orders or urgent pickup enquiries, please call me on 0439 770 120. I am always happy to take later arvo Thursday orders once things have settled 😁

A little tip for future weeks too...

⏰ I generally keep orders open until around lunchtime on Thursday.

However, for labour-intensive items such as:

🥔 Fresh Gnocchi
🌯 Cannelloni
🍮 Panna Cotta
🥟 Ravioli

the earlier your order is placed, the better.

These items take a little more planning and preparation, so ordering early helps ensure I can make/pack enough for everyone.

That said... sometimes I make extra! 👀

If I have spare stock available, I'll often post it on the page throughout the week, so keep an eye out for those last-minute goodies and freezer fillers. 🇮🇹🍝

But if you're hoping to grab something specific, don't always wait for a social media post...

📞 Quite often my regulars will call or message me directly, and some weeks the spare stock is completely gone before it even makes it onto Facebook or the website! This includes foot traffic!

A lot of you know the drill already 😂

"Grace, have you got any Boscaiola left?"

"Any lasagna spare?"

"Please tell me there's some gnocchi in the freezer..."

And before I know it, it's all gone!

So if you're after something specific, don't be afraid to reach out. The worst I can say is I've sold out... and the best case is dinner is sorted. 🇮🇹❤️ And best case scenario for me is you build my menu for the following week!

& Finally, no need to apologise for messaging me or coming to my house - my phone goes on do not disturb when I want it to and my home is my business and love greeting and giving everyone their goodies for dinner! Its my fav time of week!

✔️ Order online where possible
✔️ Check your order confirmation for pickup details
✔️ Refer back to previous messages if we've arranged an alternative time
✔️ Call for anything urgent on Thursdays

Thank you again for another fantastic week of support. I'm incredibly grateful for every order, every recommendation and every person who chooses to support Italy at Home.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a mountain of orders waiting for me... 😂🥔🍝

See you all soon!

❤️ Grace & The Watson Family

🍝 Future You Will Thank You...

You know that feeling when it's 5:30pm, everyone's hungry, you've had a massive day and the thought of cooking from scratch is the last thing you feel like doing?

That's exactly why so many of our customers keep a stash of Italy at Home in the freezer.

Our sauces freeze and defrost beautifully, making them an absolute game changer for busy families, shift workers, sport nights, unexpected visitors, or those evenings when life simply gets in the way.

Imagine having dinner sorted in minutes:

✔️ Defrost a sauce
✔️ Boil fresh pasta
✔️ Dinner on the table in under 10 minutes

And let's talk about value for money...

🤯 One of our most premium and popular sauces, the Ragu, is $32.

Pair that with a large bag of our in house made fresh pasta for $10 and you've got a homemade Italian dinner for 2 adults and 2 small kids for just $42.

That's around $10.50 per person for a proper homemade meal.

Not many takeaways can compete with that!

And let's talk about the tray bakes...

🙌 The ultimate "I can't be bothered cooking" dinner.

Simply remove the lid, pop it in the oven and let it do all the work.

No prep.
No mess.
No dishes.
No standing at the stove.

Just homemade comfort food ready when you need it.

A little reminder too...

📱 My regular customers message me on thedaily for frozen sauces/fresh pasta..

Forgot dinner?
Unexpected visitors?
Kids have sport?
Can't be bothered cooking?

A quick message is often all it takes and we'll arrange a pickup. Sometimes people are collecting within the hour!

That's the beauty of having homemade meals sitting in the freezer ready to go.

Whether you're ordering for this week or stocking the freezer for those chaotic days ahead, Italy at Home is all about making life a little easier.

Because the best dinner plan is the one you've already got waiting for you. 🇮🇹❤️

📱 Message the page to order
📲 Text 0439 770 120 (Grace) directly
🌐 Order online - www.italyathome.com.au
🚗 Pickup available throughout the week for frozen stock (subject to availability)

Who's guilty of leaving dinner planning until the last minute? 🙋‍♀️🍝

🤔 Unpopular opinion: Ragu is still the king of all pasta sauces.

Fight me in the comments. 😂🍝🍷

If I could only keep one sauce on the menu, it would probably be this one.

Ragu.

No cream.
No fancy additions.
No shortcuts.

Just beef, pork, vegetables, tomatoes, herbs and time.

Lots and lots of time.

Our Ragu is slow-cooked for hours, allowing every ingredient to do what it's meant to do. The meat becomes rich and tender, the tomatoes sweeten, and the flavours come together into the ultimate comfort food.

This is the sauce that fills the house with that "something smells amazing" feeling.

The sauce that tastes even better the next day.

The sauce that Italians have been making for generations.

And here's the best part...

Pair a large Ragu ($32) with a large bag of fresh pasta ($10) and you've got dinner for 2 adults and 2 small children for just $42.

🍝 Homemade fresh pasta
🥩 Slow-cooked meat sauce
❤️ Dinner sorted

Not bad for a meal that tastes like Nonna spent the afternoon in the kitchen.

Whether you're stocking the freezer or planning next week's dinners, Ragu is one of those staples that never disappoints.

🇮🇹 Simple.
🇮🇹 Traditional.
🇮🇹 Absolutely delicious.

🇮🇹✨ WOW... what a week already! ✨🇮🇹

A huge thank you to everyone who has jumped on and placed their orders early this week. Your support of our little family business never goes unnoticed and we are so incredibly grateful. ❤️

And just like that... we have officially SOLD OUT of Ravioli Bakes! 🙌

It seems these cheesy, saucy little beauties have well and truly won a place on the Italy at Home menu! 🇮🇹🍝

Which means you all know what's coming next... 👀

Traditional Ravioli is officially next on my hit list! After so many requests, I'm already dreaming up fillings, sauces and all the delicious possibilities. Stay tuned! Plus the utter chaos that occurs during ravioli making is next level..

🔥 Also stealing the spotlight this week are our two crowd favourites:

🤎 Boscaiola – creamy mushroom, smoky bacon and thyme. Comfort food at its finest.

❤️ Bistecca – slow-cooked beef and bacon simmered in a rich tomato sauce with oregano and a touch of cream. A sauce packed with flavour and one that keeps finding its way back into your shopping carts week after week!

Plus my new tray - cheesy alfredo style shell pasta bake ✨

There are still plenty of tray bakes (ravioli bake is sold out), fresh pasta, sauces, desserts and garlic bread available, but if this week has taught me anything, it's that waiting until the last minute might be a little risky! 😆

Vanilla Panna Cotta with berry compote this week for dessert.

Thank you again for keeping me busy in the kitchen and allowing me to do what I love. 🇮🇹❤️

📲 HOW TO ORDER

✔️ Order online at www.italyathome.com.au
✔️ Send me a message/comment on here if you need help choosing/ordering
✔️ Pick up Thursday afternoon from Proserpine from 3.15pm-7.30pm

🍝 Heat, serve and enjoy a little taste of Italy at home.

🇮🇹 FUN FACTS ABOUT ITALY AT HOME 🇮🇹

A little behind-the-scenes story for those who may be new here…

Italy at Home was born in 2024, but the idea actually started on a family holiday to Venice.

Picture this… Nick and I sitting on the banks of Venice, espresso martinis in hand, after spending the day wandering through Murano admiring the incredible hand-blown glass creations. Alongside us were Sam, Bessie, Mum & Poppy offered to have the kids the day so we could explore the glass creations without worrying about little mitts.. we shared laughs, stories and plenty of Italian food and drinks as we soaked up everything Italy had to offer here..

The creativity, passion and craftsmanship we saw everywhere completely lit a spark in me.

For the first time in a long time, I felt inspired. The creative juices were flowing, my passion came alive again, and somewhere between the canals, the food, the aperitivos and the dream-filled conversations, Italy at Home was born.

Fast forward to today, and honestly… these numbers blow my mind. ❤️

✨ Since opening in late 2024 we have:

🍝 Made over 1,200 tray bakes

🍝 Packed over 1,000 bags of fresh pasta

🍅 Cooked over 5,000 litres of sauce
(seriously… I still can’t comprehend that one! 🙈😂)

👨‍👩‍👧 Grown a community of over 2,000 followers

⭐ Received 14 perfect 10/10 reviews

🥔 Made over 100 tubs of gnocchi

🍰 Created around 500 tubs of tiramisu

🍅 Expanded from 6 sauce varieties to 18

⚖️ Created over 1,000kg of pasta with semolina, water and eggs!

🫶 Crafted more than 1,500 ravioli - over 800 of these were made by hand!

❤️ Been backed by one incredibly supportive family and friendship group

🌻 Had one amazing mum (Nonna Mary) standing beside me every single week, helping make the magic happen

And perhaps the biggest fun fact of all…

❤️ None of this would have been possible without YOU.

Every order, every comment, every share, every recommendation to a friend, every tray bake served around your family table has helped grow this little dream into something so much bigger than I ever imagined.

To my family for being part of the trip where the dream was first spoken about. To Nick for believing in another one of my wild ideas. To Mum for turning up week after week, I wish Nonna Gina and Nonno Aldo could have seen it 🥲

And to every single customer who has trusted us with dinner…

Thank you.

Grazie mille. 🇮🇹❤️

— Grace, Nick & Nonna

Who would’ve thought a few espresso martinis, a family holiday, and a conversation by the canals of Venice would turn into over 5,000 litres of sauce and thousands of family dinners? 🍝🇮🇹✨❤️
