We had planned to make this special Failsafe BBQ over the Australia Day long weekend, but the rain and floods dampened that idea, so armed with a gorgeous sunny day the weekend after and to the sound of mowers in the back ground we decided that this weekend sounds more Australian than ever for a […]

Beef stir fry with Udon Noodles

I love making this dish when we are camping. It is quick and easy utilising the Varoma. If you do not have a Thermomix or you are without power when camping, I have done this over gas in a wok / large frying pan. This dish is suitable for the failsafe diet. You can easily […]

I grew up camping it was always a wonderful childhood experience for me. I love that I can now give my kids the same experiences. Now I am a mum, I can appreciate all the planning that goes into a trip away. I usually do up a meal plan with quick easy meals to make […]

With pinterest as my inspiration once again, I was loving all the different cute little Christmas treats that looked like Reindeer’s. None of them suitable for the Failsafe diet, so I decided to try to create my own. They are basically a very easy caramel tart, and yes I cheated and used caramel top n […]

These are like fritters, but for the sake of my fussy Miss 3 we call them pancakes and she loves them. They are great as an accompaniment to a main meal, for brunch or as an easy dinner just on their own. They are quick to make in the Thermomix and suitable for the failsafe diet. […]

This is a very simple and fun idea I copied off pinterest to make suitable for the Failsafe Diet and even while on elimination diet phase. The original was using a supermarket salsa jar (which has preservatives in it) and a piece of capsicum (which is very high Salicylates) cut into a star for the top. I […]

These little pies are divine! A great Failsafe diet alternative for fruit mince pies at Christmas time. Leaving them plain on top or a different shape cut with pasty can make them perfect for any occasion. Lovely served at room temperature or heated up with ice cream, custard or Whiskey Cream Sauce for a decadent […]

This is my Failsafe diet version of a Christmas Brandy Sauce using Whiskey. Unfortunately brandy is out for the Diet, but hey, whiskey is in! This suits my husband, he is a whiskey man. I have to hunt him down whenever I make this sauce as he takes off with the Thermomix bowl and a […]

With the warmer summer months coming upon us, the thought of having the oven on for hours to cook a whole chicken was not appealing at all. Especially on Christmas day! Steaming a whole chook in the Varoma sounds like such a much better idea. I followed the basic technique for cooking a whole chicken in the Varoma from the […]
