Another newbie from Melb :)
« on: July 08, 2013, 06:34:01 am »
Hi all, my name is Narelle and I'm from beautiful sunny Melbourne (well it is today!).

I've got two young boys, 22mths & 4mths old. I brought a TMX originally as my first son had allergies, fast forward 18mths and now my new son does too! Having the TMX means I know exactly what goes in to all of our food.....

When I use it that is!! So I confess, I've had it 12 months now and so far it's been an expensive blender! So I'm trying to get motivated again, hence joining this forum :)

Life is busy as a single mum with two such young bubba's, so I'm hoping I get inspiration from all of you to at least start using it to its advantage. Please forgive the silly questions to start with!

Welcome Narelle you really do have your hands full. Once you've mastered using the TMX you'll find it very quick, the forum is a great place to find recipes, help and inspiration.

Welcome to the forum, Narelle.  You do have a busy life with two tiny ones . . .I know you have allergies to consider, however, have you been able to have a look at the book, "Thermomix Cooking for your Baby and Toddler" by Louise Fulton Keats?  You can check out the  contents and some reviews of the recipes here . .http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=13162.0

Good luck and don't forget that you can ask any questions, etc. here and you'll get all the help/advice we can muster for you.  Looking forward to hearing more from you soon.

Welcome Narelle. Hopefully by looking through the forum and asking questions we can get you motivated again.

What would you like to make first? Then we can give you some suggestions.

Hello and welcome Narelle.  :D
You certainly sound busy - which is where TM comes in to help, so ask any Qs and you will almost always get very prompt replys which should get you into using your TM to a fuller extent.  :)

Thanks everyone :)

I've spent the past few days going through recipes and have a list to try. Tonight I made a chicken and vegetable risotto, which even my currently fussy toddler ate. Very happy about that. Also made the apricot & coconut balls from the new Toddler book and they were delicious!
