Hello
« on: April 25, 2011, 12:14:05 pm »
Hi Everyone,

I've had my Thermomix since January and having been quietly lurking here collecting so many recipes that have now become family favourites. So I thought it was about time I participate more and share some of my own recipes.
I'm a stay at home mother with a 1-year-old. It was only when I was pregnant that I discovered a passion for cooking and it has since turned into so much more. I now love to cook everything from scratch and have eliminated all artificial ingredients. I was cooking everything from scratch before I got my Thermomix but it has made everything so much quicker and easier (and with less washing up!)
I love my Thermomix so much that I've considered becoming a consultant. But I've just enrolled part-time in a Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy and Nutritional Medicine so I'm not sure if I'll find the time for anything else for a little while.
I look forward to learning so much more from everyone here and sharing some recipes myself.

Carla

Hi Carla, welcome to the forum.  Nice to see you finally decided to join us and have been enjoying the recipes on here.  It is a great place to come for a chat and share special recipes with other like minded people.  Sounds like you have got a lot on your plate, good luck with that.

Welcome Carla!  Good to hear you have been making good use of the forum and it's great that you've registered and said hello.  I agree with Judy, you will be one busy lady with a baby and a University course to attend to!  At least the TMX will help you get together healthy meals for your family with the minimum of effort.  I have a friend who was talking to me about TMX and said that she didn't think it was a good time to get one as she wouldn't have time to learn how to use it==she is pregnant, has a toddler and a kinder aged child--and I said No it's the perfect time to get one--it will make life so much easier for you! 

Good luck with your course and happy cooking!

Hi Carla. It sounds as though you are going to be very busy.  Welcome to the land of the Thermomix.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Hi Carla

Welcome to the forum - it's amazing how much a thermomix encourages you to 'make things from scratch' - glad you're enjoying yourself!

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Welcome Carla!  Good to hear you have been making good use of the forum and it's great that you've registered and said hello.  I agree with Judy, you will be one busy lady with a baby and a University course to attend to!  At least the TMX will help you get together healthy meals for your family with the minimum of effort.  I have a friend who was talking to me about TMX and said that she didn't think it was a good time to get one as she wouldn't have time to learn how to use it==she is pregnant, has a toddler and a kinder aged child--and I said No it's the perfect time to get one--it will make life so much easier for you! 

Good luck with your course and happy cooking!

It's definitely the perfect time to get a Thermomix. I can't believe how much time I've saved just in washing up. I love being able to put dinner in the Thermomix, set the timer and play with my son or feed him until dinner is ready. We did baby led weaning when we introduced solids (so straight to finger food) but I can imagine the Thermomix would be amazing for making baby food and purees.

Thanks again  :)

Hi and welcome to the forum, Carla - the autonomy of the TMX is one of the great benefits for which I am thankful. Hope to hear more of your TMX experiences!  :)
