Chit Chat / Re: Child friendly meals
« on: February 05, 2010, 01:07:32 pm »
Thanks to you all for your help.

I have an 11, 10 and 8 year old.  Only one will eat just about everything, the other two too plain. 
I will have a go at some of the recipes you have suggested esp the chicken nuggets they should like those.

Its just so addictive i want to use the thermie all of the time but with plain janes its hard to know what to cook.  When i have my demo i will also ask the consultant.  Hopefully shell have some more ideas.  I probably just need to get myself some more recipe books. Any ideas on which ones would be good?

My DDs are very keen to get in and help especially with the biscuits and desserts.  My son just loves drinking the oj i make and eating the sorbets.

Don't know that its helping the weight very much, the scales seem to be going up not down. My husband and I are trying to lose 10kg in 10mths.  Don't like my chances its just too easy making such yum-mo food in this machine.  I'm just going to have to be more disciplined with what i make.  And I cant wait to go to some cooking classes.  Has anyone else been to any and what do you think of them?  Are they worth going to?

Oops how dyslexic is that.  I don't know what they call themselves here haven't lived here that long.  I did mean to say Ballaratarians.  Thanks Thermomixer will try with the Consultant.  DH and DC's are loving all the yummy food.  I'm still struggling with main meals though as i want to cook more but have some fussy children who are a bit plain.  Any ideas?

Ciao

Chit Chat / Any other Ballatarians out there????
« on: January 19, 2010, 08:32:30 am »
I just got my Thermie a couple of days before Xmas and apart from having tonsilitis a couple of weeks ago and being in bed for a few days and going down the beach for a short visit i have pretty much tried to use it for something or another every day since.

Things i have made to date:
Bread
Foccacia (very yum with herbs, garlic salt and salt on top)
Banana chocolate smoothie (trying to replicate the one from boost and its pretty close)
Sorbets mango and tried banana ( not as good as the smoothie)
chicken rissotto (made from two different recipes which was a bit confusing.  Looks 7/10 taste 9/10 always room for improvement)
pumpkin soup (very nice)
chocolate icecream (from Teninas blog - very niceeeeee)
chocolate cake
orange juice
pear juice
my favouorite dip capsicum
Still havent tried the veroma yet but cant wait to. Oops did i spell that right?
Anyway I was hoping there were some other THMXR addicts in the Ballarat region that might be interested in getting together for a chat other a coffee or wine share some cooking tips or recipes?
Its not the same sharing the excitement with the DH.

My consultant is Anita.  I met her at my sisters demo in Gisbourne.  Very funny lady, took the p*** out of my husband for having such an italian name as she knows what thats like.  She is also a dietician and specialises in diabetes which will be a great value to our family.

Recipe Requests / Licorice icecream
« on: December 16, 2009, 10:35:12 am »
Hi there,

Does anyone have a recipe for licorice icecream? Not the one with the big chunks, the swirl like one thats nice and creamy?  And oh so bad for you.

Thanks i think well start with the bickies.  Yes were aussies based in Ballarat.  Are there any other Ballaratarians around who live for their TMX?  I would be interested in getting together for some cooking classes in the new year?

The meatballs also sound good thanks well give them a go.

Cheers.

Hi to all of you thermomix addicts.

I'm sure I will be joining you all very shortly, following your yummy recipes and expert advice.

My sister and I have both purchased one and ready to cook up a storm with them.   

Lucky her, my sis has already got hers and cooked a chicken curry and said it was yum-mo. I'm just waiting patiently till mine arrives.  The whole fam is so excited I just hope we don't put on too much weight in the beginning from trying all of those yummy recipes for icecream. 

Hope the kids will enjoy using it too, does anyone have some suggestions for something easy for them to start with?

And can anyone tell me with cooking bread, does it have to be cooked in a bread tin or can it be on a tray?

Thanks in advance and anticipation.

Nicole
