Trials and tribulations with new TM31

[Patzee]

Gee thanks for your support guys, will definitely start using the forum receipes.  Husbands quite supportive, not very fussy at all really, so thats good.  Also a very big sweets eater.  Not good for his health though!  I have two grown sons still living at home who love their meat - not really into my soups big time.  So have to start trying the meat dishes on the forum.

It's a pity when people won't eat soup - makes it hard to rustle up a quick meal without soup on the menu.  I have a step-DIL who once told me she was allergic to soup!  Took DH to explain to me that it mean she hates soup Consequently none of her family gets to try whether they like soup or not. 

[Patzee]

I think they've been spoilt.  Mainly like their nanna's chicken soup recipe, but that's time consuming!  Consequently my DH and I eat most of the soup that I have been making.  I am determined to win them over tho with all the lovely recipes on this forum!  Printer's been running hot over the past week.  I'm making up a file for all my TM recipes.

Patzee, if you want to win them over with a soup then I recommend you try the Goulash Soup that Judy posted. My boys will eat soup (thank god) but this was a true winner. They all raved about it. It's a very hearty soup with meat that you can see and taste. Highly recommended from this family of boys lol

[Patzee]

Thanks Kathryn, I will seek the Goulash soup recipe out and try it on them.  Got meat, so thats good!  I have four boys ranging from 18 to 27 so I can sympathise with you.  Forever eating.  I must keep cooking..........

Scary thought Patzee!!

I have 3 boys 14, 3 & 2.. and they are eating machines.. hate to think in 10 years time!    My eldest will still be coming home for meals I'm sure by then! 

[faffa_70]

Ceejay, if you think they eat now....god help you in 10 years time!!!  I feel like I shop just about every single day as my lot just don't stop....thank god they all know how to use the TMX!

Now I am worried!!  My "nearly" 4yo DS tells me he is hungry at least 50 times a day and he eats quite well!!!  The 2yo just does what his older brother does... and as for the 14yo, since he can actually cook, I swear he lives in the kitchen!    My DD at 7 eats well but at least she doesn't seem to have hollow legs! LOL

I think I will just teach the younger 2 boys to cook even earlier than I taught the eldest!

YUP that is the way to go...I get the what is there to eat, or what can I eat and my standard reply now is...What can YOU make lol...I am glad I don't have one of those fridges that beep when they are open for a period of time as mine would never shut up. The latest fad in my house is dip or hummus and vegetables...how can you say no to such a healthy snack

Hey Patsy! Try some recipes from here, the Honey soy Chicken wings, meat balls in Varoma, the stuffed chicken fillets, I also salt bake a pork loin in the varoma which my kids love!

[Patzee]

Thanks Amanda, will definitely try the recipes you recommended.  I think I have raised four very fussy boys!!  I'll start with the stuffed chicken fillets as I have them in refrigerator right now.  I'll let you know. 

Love this site, so much help!!

I think this topic was discussed loads of time before at this forum

I'd love to hear more about the salt baked pork loin? times etc?

[judydawn]

Zan, I've done Bron's salt baked pork loin and it was lovely.  Read our conversation here http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=554.0 although I obviously didn't get back to that thread and report on the meal itself.  Will check to see if I posted it elsewhere as it certainly turned out cheaply in the end because we got so many meals out of it.  It was a tad salty but don't know how you would avoid that when it is literally covered in salt!

Found my review in What are you Cooking - I would have followed the times Bron stated.

Bron's steam pork loin turned out beautifully - I ended up cooking the lot and I reckon we ate just over half of it between the 2 of us. We are meat and gravy people so I made some gravy and also served it with a dollop of apple sauce, made some cheese sauce in the TMX whilst the meat was resting to pour over the cauli and broccoli and with the weber roasted vegies, it was a delicious meal.  DH was suitably impressed Bron.
