I love my freezer!! It saves me so much time in the kitchen! I am sure a lot of this you have heard before or already do a lot of these… but if there is one or two out there that may find a new tip, then it was all worth it! 🙂 There are […]
[Continue Reading]Caramel Mud Cake – Birthday Cake ideas
Posted on June 27, 2012 · 8 Comments
Since I am on a roll with cakes and parties… I thought I had better post my absolute favourite failsafe cake recipe, a Caramel Mud Cake! I even prefer this one over the White Chocolate Mud cake recipe. I have used this one for the majority of all my cakes over the years. I have […]

Posted on June 20, 2012 · 4 Comments
With 3 kids, the deal is, they take it in turns to have a party (so they will have one every 3 years), or they can choose to do something special like a family trip to Movie World, Sea World or something special on their party year instead. Fortunately I haven’t had to do a […]

Posted on June 14, 2012 · 22 Comments
I love middle eastern food, and I like to try to find ways to bring food from other cultures into our failsafe home and make the variations I need to get even a slight hint of what the original is. I know this is nothing compared to a real Kofta with all the wonderful aromatic spices they […]

I am indulging my sweet tooth again. Layered slice using mountain bread, custard and carob icing. Simply divine! Easy to put together, and looks classy (well I still need practice at making it look that way… but you can get an idea of how classy it can be if made by a chef!). I have […]

I must admit, I had a lot of trouble bringing myself to post this blog. I mean… Bangers and mash, really? It is a meal a lot of people take for granted. But on the failsafe diet, gravy is not really something we can indulge in, one because of the amines content and two because […]

Need a quick morning or afternoon tea treat? These are easy to whip up in the Thermomix and best of all, they are failsafe and suitable for an elimination diet. I have had this recipe for years and can not remember where I found it. I have adapted it to make in the Thermomix, but […]

Posted on June 2, 2012 · 4 Comments
This recipe neither complies with the failsafe diet or was made in the Thermomix! The reason I didn’t use my Thermomix… I had to send it away for a few repairs and service. I think I have been working it way too hard, lol! I am missing it terribly and can’t wait till I get […]
[Continue Reading]Washing Powder and Gel in the Thermomix
Posted on May 31, 2012 · 66 Comments
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 […]
[Continue Reading]Failsafe Mince with Wedges & Sour Cream
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 […]
