Post by: Merrilyn on July 01, 2012, 01:44:41 am: Brilliant idea Hally. There are so many delicious recipes, it's hard to know where to start.
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: Halex on July 01, 2012, 01:48:53 am: Thanks Merrilyn, i have been drooling over quite a few, have a few copied to paprika on my ToTry list. So hoping to do at least one per week. Also good to liven up our meals a bit with some changes.

H :)
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: gertbysea on July 01, 2012, 01:53:14 am: Ok H I have a hunk of rump in the fridge. Not inspired today but if you come across one recipe for me I will make it today.

Gert
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: Halex on July 01, 2012, 01:58:08 am: Gert, I have this one in my to try list! But this one was reviwed in May, the others I have are much older but chicken.

Name of Recipe: Peppery Herb Crusted Steak (adapted from losebabyweight.com.au)

Posted by Tasty
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: gertbysea on July 01, 2012, 02:05:07 am: Ok H I can do that one for sure. You want me to make the béarnaise sauce as well or another one?

I have one big flattish piece to share so it would do well with this recipe.

Gert
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: Halex on July 01, 2012, 02:07:46 am: Gert, whatever you want :) its your dinner, sounds really tasty.

Next week I will do Frozzies Chicken Normandy.

H :)
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: Amy :-) on July 01, 2012, 02:09:04 am: This sounds like a great idea Hally. I'd love to join in :D Should we post on this thread when we choose a recipe to try?

Maybe we could do the same thing with all the other sections later on too? :)
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: Halex on July 01, 2012, 02:11:06 am: Yes lets post in here what we are making, then review it under its thread.

Yes we could go through all the sections one by one :D

:)
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: gertbysea on July 01, 2012, 02:11:31 am: Haven't made bearnaise in a while so why not?

Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: Halex on July 01, 2012, 02:12:05 am: Have fun ;D

:)
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: judydawn on July 01, 2012, 02:37:16 am: Great idea Hally - if we all do an old one, imagine how many more reviews will be available for others.
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: goldfish on July 01, 2012, 02:42:58 am: Superb idea, hally. Have just bumped Johnro's Gourmet Beef. Family loves this one Won't be able to make it today but bumping it will bring it to the attention of others. . :D
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: gertbysea on July 01, 2012, 02:52:17 am: Crusted and ready to go. Helene's spatula perfect for crusting.

Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: Amy :-) on July 01, 2012, 05:01:47 am: I've picked out 7 recipes which I'm going to add to our meal plans in the next couple of weeks. I'm very excited ;D
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: EmeraldSue on July 01, 2012, 05:43:30 am: This is a really good idea. Sadly, I won't join in as I have to send TC back as I'm having problems with the temperature control, and have been told that it will take about 2 weeks. Not sure how I'm going to cope without it as I use it ALL the time. I still have my old food processor and mix master, and of course I still have my pressure cooker.
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: obbie on July 01, 2012, 06:42:41 am: Great idea Hally.

I am about to do a menu plan....
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: mcmich on July 01, 2012, 06:51:20 am: I'm going to try cream of zucchini soup. Juliababilla posted and it and she hasn't tested it either.
Sounds yummy and I have the ingredients.
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: Amy :-) on July 01, 2012, 06:52:35 am: I can't wait to hear your review of that one Michele. I love zucchini :D
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: Halex on July 01, 2012, 07:37:21 am: Amy, do you want to post the recipes you are going to try & I can put them at the front.

Sounds like a few of us have got in board :)

ES, sorry to hear about TC, bummer >:(

Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: gertbysea on July 01, 2012, 07:43:03 am: Eating my herb steak now. Post soon.
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: Amy :-) on July 01, 2012, 07:56:15 am: Looking forward to the review Gertie ;D

Hally, I will be trying Judy's Chicken and Almonds tomorrow night, and then farfallina's Apple and Pear Chicken on Wednesday night. I'll try to include two new recipes in my menu plan each week and let you know as I go. Is that okay? :)
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: gertbysea on July 01, 2012, 08:10:47 am: Done . Now going to post review.

Gert
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: ElleG on July 01, 2012, 09:23:48 am: Count me in Halex :) I will make Riv Mum's Thai Chicken Salad later this week and also a soup - will depend what's left in the fridge. Will have a good look through the soup recipes.

Great idea!
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: judydawn on July 01, 2012, 09:28:25 am: I'm going to do Riv Mum's Thai chicken and snow peas (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2686.0). I've put in on the list myself Hally.
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: ElleG on July 01, 2012, 09:32:52 am: In the next few weeks I have bookmarked two soups of Judydawn's to make - potato and corn soup and Moroccan carrots and lentil soup. Soups were easy to pick :)

That one is on my list too Judy :D Probably for next week's menu. I'm looking forward to your review if you cook it before me ;)
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: cookie1 on July 01, 2012, 11:44:15 am: Ok Hally count me in. I'll have aloof and find something and then add it in.
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: meganjane on July 01, 2012, 11:56:15 am: Great idea! I'll have a look back through and let you know what I'm making.

EmeraldSue, I'm so sorry that your Thermo Chef is in for repair. From what I've read on the forum, everyone who has one is having problems with them. At least the service is good.

OK, I'm going to make Paul Granger's Chicken Pie (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1018.0). It was posted by Thermomixer back in May 2009.

Hmm, had another look and it doesn't appear to be a TMX recipe at all. I'll keep looking...

Right, have found Chelsea's Versatile Beef Stew (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3594.0). There's not a lot of comment on it, so I'll make it and get the ball rolling again.

I'll also make Farfallina's Aromatic Chicken (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3605.0)
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: goldfish on July 01, 2012, 09:19:36 pm: Hally - have bumped Beef & Guinness Stew and Baf's Chicken in the Varoma :D
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: obbie on July 01, 2012, 11:01:54 pm: Goldfish, they are 2 of my favourites...
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: stacelee on July 01, 2012, 11:20:57 pm: I'm still working through these and getting them into mastercook format...hopefully I'll be finished by the end of the week if work stops getting in the way.
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: gertbysea on July 02, 2012, 12:58:48 am: I have three pork loin chops and can't find a suitable old recipe from the forum. anyone remember any thing suitable I could review?

Then I found yet another hump of rump that has to be removed from my freezer on the way to the duck.

Did the peppery herb roasted yesterday. Maybe there is a ragout no one has done recently.

I'll keep looking. Anything on your list H?

Gert
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: gertbysea on July 02, 2012, 01:35:38 am: H what about this one? Hasn't been done in a long time. http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4753.0

Easy Beef Rendang. Might be good for those experience some cold weather.

Gert
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: JuicyFruit on July 02, 2012, 02:30:25 am: I'd like to help too .. Will look through and see what I can find that matches what I have in stock, then report back in a bit ;)
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: obbie on July 02, 2012, 03:12:12 am: I can do this too.

Chicken Kiev for dinner tonight from here.
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: cookie1 on July 02, 2012, 04:13:38 am: I went back and selected my recipe that saw that MJ has chosen it too. I'm still doing it so we can compare results. I've added it in Hally.

I've changed my mind seeing MJ is doing the same. I'll do Judy's Chicken Cacciatore Casserole.
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: JuicyFruit on July 02, 2012, 05:42:34 am: Hmm, most of them have meat and I'm a veggie .. Keen to try Dashingden's African Quinoa Stew, Depome's Budget Meatless Fajitas, farfallina's Pasta Sauce with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, & achookwoman's Dhal - that should cover me for the rest of the week & following week-end lol ;)
Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: mcmich on July 02, 2012, 06:34:56 am: Made the cream of zucchini soup - very nice and got the nod of approval from DH as well.

:)

Found a stray can of pears I have no idea about in the pantry. I certainly have never bought canned pears. Anyway also found some mystery meat bits in the freezer so cooked a bit in the microwave just to see what it was and turned out to be pork so cut all the pork up and added it to the meat from the chops. Tossed in the pear halves added some orange juice cinnamon, brown sugar. Poured some sherry over the top And baked the lot for about 40 minutes.

So pork is gone.

I found a huge (800gm) can of peach halves in my pantry and also a pkt of lady finger biscuits. I have a vague recollection I bought them at Christmas time to make a pavlova. We have a family lunch planned for next Sunday so will actually be making pav for dessert.

Well, for a start some noddy in this house ate all the almonds without telling me >:(
So I had to use cashews.

But apart from that, I followed the recipe exactly, and it was Y.U.M. I'll definitely make it again :D

Sorry the photo is a bit blurry :-))

I'll have to make a dish from the Main meal section next. Just reread the title of the thread :)

I tend to use up too many pantry items, and then I have nothing to add to meals :-))

I've heard that tins can breed, sneaky things ;)

If you want you muffin tins to breed, just look on ebay Amy - there might be something for infertile muffin tins there..... ;)

Post by: EmeraldSue on July 19, 2012, 12:44:26 pm: I'm sure my tomato tins have been breeding whilst I've been doing the shopping challenge. I haven't bought any for at least 6 weeks, but I reckon I've used up at least 10 in the last 6 weeks. I wonder if there are any left? My tin cupboard is still full!

Title: Re: Been looking back at some recipes in Main Meals
Post by: nazar on July 20, 2012, 11:18:37 am: l am lazy . l just chop up chunky style and put into a big pot on stove and cook until they are soft , sometimes l add fresh basil and parsley if l have it from my garden and use these lots for spag bog
l dont peel them as l dont mind the skin . l store them in zip lock bags wrapped in a piece of newspaper to seperate them from sticking together in the freezer with them liely flat in the freezer they dont tell long to defrost than a block
