Hi all,
My name is Chelsea and I am from Tasmania, Australia. I am married with two beautiful little boys that I stay home and care for. My boys are aged 1 and 3 and are two very adorable little scamps. We adopted our eldest son from Ethiopia and our youngest son is home grown. Both of our boys have sensitivities to certain food preservatives and our eldest is also hugely affected by sugar (sends him troppo). In my former life (that is truly what it feels like), I was a school teacher. But enough about me . . . . thermie-talk is much more interesting I'm sure!
I have had my thermomix for several months now and am still totally besotted with it. I use it everyday, an average of 5 times a day and suffer withdrawals if i am away from it too long. Very sad I know. To start with I thought I would just use it mainly for juices and meals. As the weeks progressed I started to make lots more things (soups, cakes, muesli bars, drinks, breads, risottos, jams, sauces, butter, scones etc). I have used it to cook dinner every night since it was delivered! The packets in my pantry were pushed to the back and were replaced with things like grains, dried fruits, lentils, nuts and heaps more fruit and veg. We had never been really unhealthy, but looking back we did have far too many things from packets! Now, I wizz up almost all of our food in the thermie and don't spend a great deal more time in the kitchen. I'm addicted!!!
I look forward to chatting with you all and swapping some thermie recipes.
Cheers, Chelsea.
