Introduce Yourself / Re: Hello from the red centre

You're right there Cookie, I am not really in the centre, but just on the edge of the Western Desert, I'm not a coastal Pilbarite :)

Thanks for the warm welcome. Joining the forum has paid off, I cooked two meals in Thermie today, so my freezer is nice and full of lunches for work for next week.

Introduce Yourself / Hello from the red centre

Hi Everyone,

I have had my Thermie since Christmas last year and have just decided to use the forum, though have trolled a few times to find recipes. I was very lucky to have Thermie given to me as a Christmas present. I live in the Pilbara region of WA, and thoroughly enjoy living here. I don't use my Thermie perhaps as much as I should, because I live on my own and often don't eat at home and I am often eating as I am heading out the door to do the next thing on my ever growing list of jobs to get done. I am trying now to get into the habit of using him to help me to eat healthier, and to save money on take-out.

There is not a lot more I can really tell you about myself. BUT I am looking forward to learning some new recipes and having a much larger recipe base to use for my weekly meals.

I tried this with the evap milk, but also substituted the pasta for julienned zucchini. I add the zucchini at the same time as the rest of the ingredients. I only used 1 zucchini, but if I were to make it again I would use 2 and cut back the water by about half. Using the zucchini instead of pasta makes the dish worth about 180 calories per serve, which is great for those watching their weight and carb intake. Next time I might try it with a bit of chicken for a little extra protein  :)
