Meals 4 Mates

Meals 4 Mates Origin

I realised there was a need for delicious and nutritious meals after working from 5 am to mid-afternoon in temperatures often over 40degrees, in the Kimberly Region of Western Australia in 2021.

At the end of the day, I was hangry – hungry-angry, as were the other Blokes and Sheilas. We’d usually just grab something quick to eat, often followed by a few too many beers to put us in a more cheerful mood. This left us missing essential nutrients as well as stacking on weight, despite the physical activity. However, I really enjoyed getting together around the campfire with mates and sharing a campfire meal from time to time.

When I returned to Mission Beach I wanted to give mates back home the same sort of campfire meals that I enjoyed with mates in the outback. The question was, how to prepare campfire meals which usually took all day to cook. My solution is to slow cook casseroles, snap freeze them and then home deliver them so Blokes and Sheilas have a campfire meal waiting for them in their freezer at the end of the day.

Blokestuf’s Meals 4 Mates is the business resulting from the desire I developed working in the Kimberleys, to be fit, healthy and financially independent, so I have the health, time, and financial resources to do bloke stuff.

I am not claiming that Meals 4 Mates prevent or cures anything. But they have proved to be a step in the right direction.
