A friend on Facebook put out the challenge a while ago to Go Green in all areas of cleaning and housekeeping. One of the areas she talked about was washing powder and she inspired me to give it a go and I haven’t looked back! For the last 8 months I have been making my […]

Posted on May 27, 2012 · Leave a Comment
This meal is my son’s favourite. This is another great variation for using mince. I use the Failsafe Mince in the Thermomix and serve it on top of Potato wedges with sour cream and Pear Ketchup. It may sound like a strange combination, but it works and is rather good! All you need is to […]

Today isn’t so much about the recipe, but the amazing experience I had this morning in the kitchen… turnovers are easy, we have all been there, done that. But today was different for me. For those that don’t know, here is a little bit of history to fill you in… My youngest is a non […]

This recipe is the basis I use for all my mince dishes. It is a failsafe mince suitable for an elimination diet, and therefore not a tomato in sight! All our plates come back to the kitchen licked clean and my son and husband always come back for seconds. My daughter, like everything she eats, […]

I found this brilliant idea on pinterest and just had to share it. My nearly 5 year old daughter is a big yoghurt eater and she likes these for something different, especially as an after school snack. It is another thing that is quick and easy to make and gives you a snack to pull […]

I created this Thermomix risotto because I love garlic! It is so simple to make, beautifully creamy and has a lovely subtle flavour. It would be easy to make this a vegetarian dish by swapping the chicken for 500g of vegetables of your choice. Small handfull of parsley 3 shallots 2 cloves garlic (decent size […]

The filling in these chicken breasts are divine! I am sure there are many more uses I can come up with for it! My 3 year old is a very fussy eater, so I make a version of this for her at the same time. Just cut a few pieces of the chicken breast into […]

Finding something that all 3 of my kids like is very rare, but with this dip I have hit the jackpot! It works well in lunch boxes with crackers and vegetable sticks. It is a quick and easy dish to make in the Thermomix for a party and when I make this dip for others, […]

I must admit, I have a terrible sweet tooth! Fortunately that carries on to only one of my three kids. But this is another favourite of all of us. This is definitely a sweet treat, great for parties, special occasions or just when you want to spoil someone! I can not remember where I found this lovely […]
