OK, so last post I promised some ideas on what to do with the leftover shredded chicken. Firstly, I must tell you that this chicken is great to freeze. I freeze it into smaller quantities so that it is easier to defrost just what you need. From the ideas below, you can see how handy it is to have…
Chocolate Tart from Travelling with Thermomix
When you purchase a Thermomix in March you receive the beautiful cookbook Travelling with Thermomix FREE. There are lots of beautiful recipes in the book including this rather decadent Chocolate Tart (they call it a pie but I think its more of a tart). Its a rich but very simple dessert to make. Crust…
Meatballs for dinner
A family favourite in this house! Served with brown rice and garden salad, it makes a healthy and tasty meal.

Dairy Free Banana Choc-chip Muffins
We are back into the swing of the school year, and filling lunchboxes once again. This time I have three to fill! My baby has gone to school, and the house certainly feels very different without him. As I put him to bed the night before his first day, I asked what special treat he…
Short Order Eggs

Have You Tried the Carrot Cake….
The Caribbean Carrot Cake on page 134 of the Everyday Cookbook is one of my favourite cakes, so moist and tasty and with only 100g brown sugar for such a large cake, it’s healthy enough for lunchboxes (without the icing). Carrot cake is super easy to make when the Thermomix grates your carrots in 4…
You Scream, I Scream….
We all scream for Ice Cream in this house. Yes sir! And it doesn’t get much better than homemade icecream. Last summer I borrowed an ice cream machine from my brother. The idea of making my own dairy creations sounded so good, and it was. But making the creme anglaise, that was not my favourite part. …
Lasagna – My Way
Lasagna is a favourite in our house! I usually make a double batch and freeze one for an emergency meal. Because of the large quantity of meat (and hidden vegetables) that I am cooking with I choose to make my bolognese over the hotplate. My Thermomix still gets a work-out though and I can usually…
