Hi everyone!
I just thought I'd pop in an introduce myself before I dive into the recipes :)
My name is Ainsley and I live in southern NSW with my hubby and our 12-month-old son. I work two days a week teaching at our local high school and got my thermomix (Heidi) on Saturday...so excited!!
So far I have made some pureed fruit for baby bear's brekkie and yoghurt (he likes fruit mixed into the greek yog I make in the easiyo), vege stock, porridge, pasta (fail, too much stock concentrate made it salty as heck!), chocolate custard (also a fail, not sure why yet...it went really thick and tasted floury) and then today I made some fruit icypoles.
I am very interested in quick, easy meals that are healthy, will appeal to all of us and are egg-free, due to baby bear's allergy/intolerence.
I look forward to getting to know everyone :)

Hi and welcome Ainsley. As Gert has sadi I am sure you will find many helpful recipes here. If you don't just ask and I'm sure someone somewhere will be able to help.

Thanks :) I'm already inspired to attempt an eggless custard...fingers crossed!

Hi and welcome. I have just posted a grain bread process for you. However as you are very new to the TMX, I suggest you first make, either Isi's rolls or my No Fuss bread, just to get the hang of making bread. good luck and let us know how you go.

Hello Ainsley and welcome to the forum. Have a go at some of the recipes on here and see how successful they are. Have you found our recipe reviews of all the books out there? Check out the list (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?board=48.0) before trying anything from the books just in case someone has added information which you will find useful.

Hello and Welcome Ainsley (& Heidi!!) :D

Thanks everyone!! Achookwoman (may I all you chookie?) I do plan on sticking to some easy bread recipes first, I'm just trying to find some time to play. Unfortunately baby bear is a super light sleeper, so Heidi is a bit too noisy for night-time use :-/
-
Mother Bear, give Baby Bear a hug from me. ;D The kneading only takes 4 mins. Can you put the machine somewhere in the house for just the kneading , away from the little one.? Perhaps the garage, on the floor as it can move around a bit. Many kids don't like the noise of the TMX.

Welcome Ainsley, my GS it's also egg intolerant and I have made him custard without the eggs just added more corn flour and some vanilla extract, can't remember how much extra corn flour maybe two tablespoons. GS and I also love the Thermomix porridge it is so creamy.

Thanks for that tip Aussie Brenda, I was planning on having a go at adding some extra corn flour, I'll try two tablespoons and see how it goes :)
Well I cracked out the varoma tonight and made a version of quirky Jo's chicken and coconut satay rice, I used another satay sauce recipe because I didn't have any coconut cream and it turned out really nice!

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Sounds like you're having a great time with Heidi !
-
Hi Ainsley,
I just got my (as yet un-named) machine on Friday night - isn't it exciting!!
Hope you find lots of suitable recipes here - I'm finding the hard part is deciding which ones to choose! ;)

Hi and welcome, have fun

Hi and welcome to the forum.. You will find kids get used to the sound.. My kids were terrified of it at first but now doesnt bother them and they recognise the thermie thingy lol... I used o warn them and get hem to cover their ears .. We used o laugh about here we go with the noise...

I was only noticing today that he seems to be less scared...not bursting into tears everytime I use her! I count 3,2,1 go! Before I make noise and keep an exaggerated happy face on the whole time. It would be lovely if he starting sleeping through more noise though, at the moment there would be no way I could go above speed 4 after he's in bed :(
-
I guess it depends on the kids and what they are used to.. I was never quiet with my kids as i was told that was the best way amd it seemed to work...If your always quiet around them they will hate noise but if its familiar it doesnt bother them.... We are all wonderfully differemt though and you have to do what works for you...must admit though crushing ice for eg would scare anyone at first and wake most of the house
Chookie had a good suggestion though.. Maybe try putting it in the garge or laundry or something just for the jneading then back in the kitchen lol
-
I definitely think we crept around him too much when he was little, oh well. We are working on leaving the hall door open while he sleeps now and working up to more noise :)
-
We tiptoed around a lot too with the first baby... 2nd bub just had to learn to put up with the noise lol! Of course I didn't have a thermie then...
