Book Review – Our Nourishing Week: Easy and nutritious meals for the whole family

July 29, 2025 by Shellie Wilson

I just had to leave a little shout-out for Sarah Bell, who happens to be from my local neighbourhood—how lovely is that? It’s not every day someone nearby puts out something so beautifully crafted, and Our Nourishing Week is truly a gift to busy families who want real, wholesome food without the fuss.

The recipes are practical, nutritious, and full of flavour, but what I love most was the thoughtfulness behind each one. It’s not just about food—it’s about rhythm, routine, and feeding your family in a way that feels sustainable and nurturing. You can tell Sarah lives and breathes what she shares. There’s a calm simplicity throughout the book that really resonates with me (especially during chaotic school weeks!).

Sarah simplifies dinner in a way that actually works in real life—think “cook once, eat twice” recipes, 30-minute time-savers, and clever “power pairs” that give you two totally different meals from the same hero protein. Absolute game changer when your evenings feel like a revolving door of homework, sport pickups, and the eternal question: “What’s for dinner?”  Another big tick? The recipes are incredibly allergy- and intolerance-friendly.

Well done Sarah—what a wonderful contribution to the cookbook shelf!

12 Rosé Ninja Slushies That Will Make You Forget Every Other Summer Drink Ever

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from having teenagers, a dog that sheds like it’s a profession, and a revolving door of visiting friends, it’s this: making drinks one-by-one is a rookie mistake. You need batch cocktails — big, icy, glorious batches that sit ready in the fridge or freezer and pour like magic.

And that’s exactly why I adore using my Ninja Slushie Maker (or the Ninja blender on Icy Drink mode). Not only does it make the silkiest, dreamiest slushies, but it also handles batch making like a champ.

So grab a bottle of rosé (or three), prep your fruit, and let’s turn these 12 slushie flavours into full party-sized drinks.

HOW TO BATCH-MAKE NINJA SLUSHIES

Before we dive into each flavour, here’s the basic rule I use:

1 single serve = 1 cup rosé + ½–1 cup fruit + 1½ cups ice
A batch = 1 full bottle of rosé + 3 cups fruit + 4–5 cups ice

From there, you adjust sweetness and citrus to taste.

All recipes below are written for 1 full bottle of rosé (750ml) and serve 4–6 people.

I have to give a shout out to my all time favorite slushie cup these Margarita double wall tumblers are perfect for all cocktail types. I was gifted a pair of these for Christmas and I am in Love and use mine every slushie mix! 

1. Classic Strawberry Frosé (Batch Version)

Ingredients:
– 1 bottle rosé
– 3 cups strawberries (fresh or frozen)
– ¼–? cup simple syrup
– Juice of 1–2 lemons
– 4–5 cups ice

Instructions:
Blend half at a time if your Ninja is smaller — otherwise toss everything in the pitcher and blend until pink, smooth, and slushy. Store in the freezer up to 2 hours.

2. Peach & Rosé Sunset Slushie (Batch Version)

Ingredients:
– 1 bottle rosé
– 3 cups frozen peaches
– ¼ cup honey
– Juice of 1 lime
– 4 cups ice

Instructions:
Blend until the texture softens into a peach sorbet-style slush. This one thickens beautifully in the freezer.

3. Raspberry Rosé Sorbet Slush (Batch Version)

Ingredients:
– 1 bottle rosé
– 2½–3 cups raspberries
– ¼–? cup simple syrup
– 1 tsp vanilla
– 4–5 cups ice

Instructions:
Raspberries blend quickly, so pulse first, then blend fully. Add more syrup if your berries are very tart.

4. Tropical Rosé Slushie (Batch Version)

Ingredients:
– 1 bottle rosé
– 2 cups pineapple
– 1 cup coconut cream
– ¼ cup sugar syrup
– 4–5 cups ice

Instructions:
Blend until glossy and creamy. This one screams poolside cocktails and warm evenings.

5. Watermelon Rosé Cooler (Batch Version)

Ingredients:
– 1 bottle rosé
– 4 cups frozen watermelon
– Juice of 1 lime
– 2–3 tbsp sugar syrup
– 3–4 cups ice

Instructions:
Blend and enjoy immediately — watermelon gives a soft, fluffy slush that melts quicker, so serve right away.

6. Strawberry–Lemon Rosé Slushie (Batch Version)

Ingredients:
– 1 bottle rosé
– 3 cups strawberries
– Juice of 2 lemons
– ¼ cup sugar
– 4–5 cups ice

Instructions:
Bright, fresh, tangy — blend then freeze 45 minutes for that extra-firm texture.

7. Rosé & Elderflower Slush (Batch Version)

Ingredients:
– 1 bottle rosé
– 3 tbsp elderflower cordial
– 2 cups mixed berries
– Juice of 1 lemon
– 4 cups ice

Instructions:
Blend until smooth. Elderflower makes this taste like a high-end cocktail bar special.

8. Rosé Sangria Slushie (Batch Version)

Ingredients:
– 1 bottle rosé
– ½ cup orange juice
– ¼ cup brandy (optional but fabulous)
– 2 cups frozen mixed fruit
– 4–5 cups ice

Instructions:
Blend, then fold in fresh fruit slices before serving for that classic sangria vibe.

9. Rosé Grapefruit Crush (Batch Version)

Ingredients:
– 1 bottle rosé
– 2 cups pink grapefruit juice
– ¼ cup simple syrup or honey
– 4 cups ice

Instructions:
Blend until icy and smooth. Serve with a grapefruit wedge for a citrusy grown-up finish.

10. Rosé & Mango Cream Slush (Batch Version)

Ingredients:
– 1 bottle rosé
– 3 cups frozen mango
– ½ cup coconut milk
– ¼ cup sugar syrup
– 4–5 cups ice

Instructions:
This one blends thick and silky — like tropical sorbet with a kick.

11. Sparkling Rosé Fizz Slush (Batch Version)

Ingredients:
– 1 bottle rosé
– 2½ cups any frozen fruit (strawberries or peaches are best)
– Juice of 1 lemon
– 4 cups ice
– 1 cup sparkling rosé or Prosecco (added AFTER blending)

Instructions:
Blend everything but the bubbles, pour into glasses, then top with sparkling wine. Instant celebration.

12. Rosé Lemonade Freezer Slush (Batch Version)

Ingredients:
– 1 bottle rosé
– 2 cups lemonade
– 3–4 cups ice
– Lemon slices for serving

Instructions:
Blend, freeze for 45 minutes, then scoop into glasses. So simple and always a winner.

Batch-Making Tips for the Ninja (Tested in My Own Kitchen)

Because we love a shortcut around here.

– Freeze your fruit ahead of time. Thicker slush, less ice needed.
– Use cold rosé straight from the fridge. Warmer liquids melt the ice faster.
– Divide into 2 blends if your Ninja pitcher is smaller.
– Store in the freezer up to 3 hours. After that, it turns more solid — still delicious, but you’ll need to reblend.
– Keep glasses in the freezer. A frosty rim makes everything feel a little bougie.
– Always taste and adjust. Different rosés = different sweetness levels.
