Recipe Requests / Paneer recipe (kid friendly)
« on: June 26, 2012, 03:25:11 am »
I have made my first batch of paneer today and I'm very excited! I would love to make dinner with it that my 3.5 yo would like too. He likes tofu so I'm hoping he will like paneer!

I just need a very basic curry that's not too spicy to serve with some rice. Should I just do garlic, ginger, onion, garam masala, coconut milk etc?

Has anyone else's kids eaten paneer and how have they had it? Is there another way you can serve it?

Raw Recipes / Raw Bliss Balls (with chili)
« on: June 18, 2012, 12:50:20 am »
There are so many different versions of Bliss balls but this is my favourite.
I am really quite bad at following exact amounts. I like to try it as I make it to see if it needs more or less of something.
These are approximate amounts, I do encourage to taste as you go!

Name of Recipe: Raw Bliss Balls

Ingredients:
1 cup almonds
1 cup oats
1 tbsp linseeds
2 tbsp flaked coconut
1 tbsp raw cacao powder or carob powder
1/2 birds eye chili (or to taste)
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp raw honey (or to taste)
2 tbsp goji berries

optional:
protein powder
maca powder
spirulina



Preparation:
Blitz all the dry ingredients (incl. chili) on speed 9-10 until you get it as fine as possible. Add in coconut oil and honey and combine on speed 7 for 10 seconds. Add in goji berries at the end on speed  :-: as to keep them whole.

You want them to be pliable enough to roll into balls. If they need to stick more, add more coconut oil or honey. You might need to put it in the fridge for a while so the coconut oil sets a little. Try rolling them in sesame seeds or coconut flakes.

Once finished, refrigerate, enjoy! (and keep refrigerated)

It's a classic where I come from! Oh and my morning coffee is also not negotiable  ;)

I'm yet to use maca powder, I know it's meant to give you a bit of a kick in more ways than one!

This is a great recipe if you're new to green smoothies. Simple and delicious!

I like to make a massive jar of it and sip it throughout the morning.

2-3 ripe bananas
1 cup kale/spinach/greens
1-2 tsp spirulina
handful of mint
juice of 1 lemon
water/ice

Blitz on 9-10 for at least 30 seconds.

What a great start to the day!

Introduce Yourself / hello from Adelaide!
« on: June 12, 2012, 07:10:29 am »
Hi everyone!
I'm a mum of 2 young boys and I have had my thermomix for almost 2 years now.
I eventually want to study nutritional medicine so I'm VERY interested in getting "back to basics"  ;D
I'll probably be hanging around lots in the babies and kids section, but I have to say I'm making the most healthy, out-of-this world smoothies, I'll have to pop in there too.
Ciao! x

Babies and Kids / Introducing Scrambled eggs (YUMMO!)
« on: June 12, 2012, 05:49:59 am »
Name of Recipe: Scrambled eggs
Number of People: 1
Ingredients:

  • 2 free range eggs
  • splash of milk/BM/formula
  • 1/3 zucchini
  • few sprigs of parsley
  • chunck of cheese
  • heaped tsp semolina
  • tiny bit of butter (optional)


Preparation: chop zucchini, parsley and cheese for 5 secons on speed 8, add in the rest of the ingredients and mix for 5 seconds on speed 5. Cook for 6.5 mins at speed 3-4 @100deg - or until you are happy the eggs are cooked.

Tips/Hints: introducing scrambled eggs to my bubs was hard because of the texture, but the semolina in this makes it much more creamy and it's soooo yummy. Great way to hide veggies too. You could use baby spinach, tomatoes, basil etc.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a good recipe for babies who have established eating eggs and wheat with no difficulties.

Enjoy!
