Soups / Re: Simple, Cheap Chicken Noodle Soup
« on: May 21, 2013, 08:18:15 am »
Ive just made this soup for lunch - is only me here during the day.
Found it quick n tasty.  I had some leftover cooked chicken in the fridge, and broke a few small pieces into my soup - delicious :)

Thank you

Bread / Bread Success - and a question about Bread Tins
« on: January 24, 2012, 05:55:20 am »
Yippee!!
After having TMX for just over 12 months, and never mastering bread, my consultant recently forwarded a recipe called "Megan's Wonder Bread" - not sure if it's Meganjane from here - but it worked beautifully - except kids don't love the crust - too crusty - I put a pan of water in the bottom of oven & turned loaf out of the tin for the last few minutes - will omit these steps next time to see if less crusty - but the inside is lovely and soft :)

Still need to get a decent bread tin - I've just used a 30cm loaf tin - possibly a little too long?  and the sides not quite tall enough - does anyone have any suggestions of where to get a loaf tin - want to be able to make daily bread for sandwiches/toast when school returns.  I've had a quick look on ebay but not really sure what's the best to buy!

(Who's very excited that she's made a decent loaf of bread - will be off to buy grains/seeds now)

Chit Chat / Re: Super Chef App iPhone/iPad

I've just downloaded this app, and I'm either more technically challenged than I thought I was, or there's something wrong. How do you get to see the instructions/method for each recipe? I can see the ingredients list, the chef secrets, but no method?  There's blank boxes next to each of the ingredients, but nothing else?!!

Vegetarian / Re: Cyndi O'Meara's vegetarian sausage rolls

Glad I found this, and can't wait to try. Miss 10 has recently decided to go vegetarian, so will b great for her to enjoy a treat when I make sausage rolls for the rest of us. Think I'll make a batch and freeze them.

Hi there, I freeze my pizza dough raw too, but in flat packages, these defrost quicker than balks if need some in a hurry.

Chit Chat / How long will it take me
« on: January 07, 2012, 11:45:13 am »
To fill a 380l freezer?!! Just bought an upright  one today to replace my 130l chest freezer, and am looking forward to cooking up a storm and making sure I always have the required ingredients on hand.
I've also just bought the pasta attachment for mt kitchen aid and ravioli maker, so it's been a busy few days!! Now to convince hubby that I really need to keep chooks and I'll be very happy!!

Suggestions and Complaints / Re: Lost Members?

Well, after reading this topic, was guilted into posting for the first time!  I've Thermie and lurked, and tried and lurked some more since December 2010, but have never posted, like PP's I don't feel like I've got anything of value to contribute, but never thought of how it would be perceived by others!!

Haven't made a NY resolution, but maybe it should be to become an active contributor to this wonderful forum!

Cheers

Amanda
