My New Toy!

Hey Everyone!

A couple of months ago, my thermomix started to not work very well (so not happy about this). I talked to the Thermomix Customer Service who said to send it in for a service and to get checked. I use my thermomix all the time, so if I was without one for so many days or weeks, I would definately feel it. 
So we talked about it, prayed about it, and decided it was time for a new TM6!



And....


I am still getting used to the new format in the TM6, but so far it has been AMAZING!

As of Sunday night, I have made a couple of things apart from the delicious veggie stock paste the lovely consultant made with me at the time of delivery. As always, the thermomix custard is the easiest and most delicious custard recipe ever, as well as the basic muffin recipe on the guided cooking platform Cookidoo. The muffins were choc chip (having a special needs child in the house, foods can feel repetitive but neccessary at times), and the recipe said it would make 16 muffins, however, I got 23 out of it!



We have a number of recipes to make this week and even a couple of new ones made it to the menu. We are trying 1 or 2 new recipes a week to pull me out of the rut I am currently in when it comes to menu planning and cooking. I will take a few photos of the new recipes I try and share them on here.

Some of our favourite new recipes made in the TM6 include these delicious chocolate chip muesli bars, chicken and spinach pasta (which was a surprising hit with the WHOLE FAMILY!) and homemade wraps!

I feel so blessed being able to make at least basic foods for my family and show them that not everything they eat has to be from a packet. With all of my daughter's eating issues, we have to make sure she gets as many calories as possible so she can put on weight. Making her favourite snacks (with sneaky fruit, veg and Sustagen powder) is so easy with the Thermomix! 

Another benefit of the Thermomix is that I am able to make a larger batch of school snacks and put them in the freezer. I love having a stash of healthy homemade school lunch items ready to go in the freezer. The kiddos choose what they want in their lunches for that day, pull them out of the freezer (we live in a very warm climate so frozen items defrost fairly quickly), chuck them in their lunch boxes and off they go!

What are your favourite Thermomix recipes?

Thanks for reading!

Organising School Uniforms

Hey Guys! When it comes to storing and sorting the kid's school uniforms, it seems we have FINALLY found what works for us! For those who don't know, we have 4 kiddos and my mum works at the kid's school as well, so her uniforms are also stored with the kid's uniforms.  Right next to my desk in the kid's playroom (pretty much only has Lego in it at the moment) we have a clothes rack. The only things that get put on the rack is school uniforms, shoes, the hair box (this keeps all the brushes, hair ties, head bands, etc. together in one place) and school socks.  So here is an overview of what the uniform rack looks like and then I will talk about the sections. We'll talk about hanging the uniforms first! Each person has their own colour coat hanger to make it easier for them to recognise which uniforms are theirs.  BB has pink. Knox has blue. TJ has purple. Liss has white.  Mum has black.  Yes, they are all mixed up at ...

Day in the life

Hey Everyone! As a busy mum of 4, I am pretty much on the go all day. So I just thought, maybe, I would share what one day is like for me. Before I get out of bed in the morning, I like to read one chapter in Proverbs. Proverbs is such a good way of making sure I am reading God's Word daily because it has 31 chapters - a chapter for each day of the month. This way, while I am going through my morning routine, I have something godly running through my brain instead of the chaos of whatever I have on that day.  Next up is coffee... after making sure my teenage son is up and getting ready for the day. I am super lucky because my Mum also lives with us and she gets up a little bit before me and has my coffee ready and waiting for me! While I drink my coffee, the news is generally on in the background. Because my kids are all older, pretty much all I have to do is make sure they are waking up when they are supposed to. Although, one of my children needs a bit more support in getting rea...

My Top 10 Cookbooks!

Hey Guys! You all know I am a mumma of a large family, so I kinda have to have a few favourite cookbooks, right? I do have quite a few cookbooks and websites that I pull from when I am meal planning, particularly when I get stuck with making the same meals over and over (it happens... I am far from perfect guys...).  Some of these are for thermomix recipes specifically, (my goal for the year is to use my thermomix more) while others are just general cookbooks. So lets get into it! 1. Thermomix Every Day Cookbook. This is the cookbook you get with your Thermomix and it has basic recipes and hints and tips to get used to your thermomix. My mum's favourite recipe in this is the custard.  2. Mamabake Cookbook. This is the cookbook I reach for when I have a lot of busy days where I will not have time to cook. There is a lot of slowcooker dump recipes in there that my family love and don't break the budget. 3. Once a Month Cooking by the Stay at Home...
