Monday 20th/Tuesday 21st June - porridge, cheese, bread crumbs
Monday
Breakfast - porridge. (obviously a real winter staple for the kids, but it's cheap, filling and so easy to make in the tmx).
Was out for lunch (meeting some other lovely TMX owners from the Thermomix Forum!!)
and dinner was chicken kebabs and wedges in the oven.
Tuesday
Breakfast - porridge
Dinner - During the day made crumbed chicken breast pieces and chicken drumettes.
Grated parmesan and made the bread crumb mixture in the TMX.
Thursday 12th, Friday 13th May - porridge, juice, cheese, stock, Cauliflower Soup
Blogger has been down for posting so here is the last couple of days posts
Thursday 12th May
Breakfast - porridge and orange and mandarin juice
Lunch - I went to a friend's Thermomix demo (and she is buying one yah!!!) so not made in my tmx but had a lovely sorbet with orange, lemon, lime, and a bit of pineapple, beetroot salad, mushroom risotto, rolls, hummus and vanilla custard (made with goat's milk)
For dinner we had burrito's. Grated the cheese in the tmx. The mince mixture was from the freezer but had previously been made in the tmx.
Friday 13th May
Made liquid chicken stock in the morning for Dinner - cauliflower soup.
Milled coriander, cumin, and chili flakes, then added garlic and onion and chopped, then sauted, then added stock, cauliflower and cooked 15 mins, added flour and cooked 5 mins. Then blitzed for 1 minute.
It thickened up nicely in the thermoserver but I would add a potato if eating straight away.
All three girls had 3 servings and really loved this soup. It was really creamy and lovely flavours (dd1 picked the indian spices) and didn't need any extra cream.
Wednesday 16th March - pizza, vanilla pudding
Made my favourite vanilla pudding (from the vanilla slice recipe linked further back a couple of times).
Dinner was pizza, so made the dough, grated the cheeses and made the sauces in the tmx.
Sunday 20th February - pizza dough, pizza sauces, cheese
Dinner - pizza so pizza dough, grated cheese, sauces all made in the tmx.
Friday 21st January - smoothie, garlic and herb dip, pizza and toppings
Breakfast - smoothie.
Then made garlic and herb (parsley and chives) dip to take to friends.
Dinner we had pizza.
The TMX made the dough, a garlic and herb blend (for a garlic pizza with a little olive oil and a little cheese), tomato pizza sauce, grated cheese.
And for those that love my children's idiosyncrasies, here is dd3 hugging the dough. She spent the whole pizza making experience patting and cuddling the dough. Apparently she loves dough, lol. (remember these are the kids that have been known to eat flour, and she does actually quite like eating bits of raw dough.)
Wednesday 3rd November - cheese, bread, blueberry meringue, fish, rice, veg, feta and lemon sauce, hommus
Made grated cheese for the girls wraps for lunch.
Made a loaf of bread.
Had some egg whites that needed using up so made meringue, placed frozen blueberries in a baking dish, put the meringue on top on baked for 10 mins.
This was such a simple dessert but the girls loved it.
(didn't think to take a picture until it was nearly finished, lol).
Dinner - steamed fish, rice, vegetables and lemon and feta sauce.
Marinated the fish in a little soy sauce and sesame oil.
Placed in a foil open nest in the bottom of the varoma.
1 ltr of water and vegie stock concentrate in the bowl. 1 cup of rice (200g) in the basket, varoma on top, cooked for 18 mins at varoma temperature, speed 1 with the varoma with the fish in it in place. With 5 mins to go added the top tray with carrots and beans (we like our veg crunchy).
Then made the lemon and feta sauce from this recipe :
http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=203.0
Used less quantities (100g feta, also did half sour cream/half yoghurt).
This was really nice, as usual the fish steamed in the varoma was so succulent, the sauce was really lovely - a real favourite of dd1 who wanted a bowl of it!
Also made some hommus for the girls for morning tea tomorrow.

Friday 29th October - cheese, orange choc chip muffins
Friday 29th October
Dinner we had left over mince, salsa etc from yesterday with salad in wraps. Grated cheese for these.
Made orange choc chip muffins. Yum!! And what's so brilliant with the TMX, just quarter the orange and throw the whole lot in, no peeling or deseeding, so quick and easy.
Used this recipe http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1223.0 - will def make again.

Thursday 28th October - grated cheese, jam, muffins, salsa, ragu
Thursday 28th October
Morning - grated cheese to go on the girls puff pastry scrolls for lunch (and extra for dinner)
Afternoon - made orange and carrot marmalade.
1 lemon, 2 oranges (370g), 2 carrots (200g)
blitz speed 5 for 5 secs
Added 500g water (think this was a little too much)
cooked 30 mins, 100° speed 2 reverse
Added 750g sugar
cook 30mins 100° reverse speed 1
Didn't think it would set so added half a packet of jamsetta and cooked 10 mins more.
In the end it set very well so not sure how it would have gone without the jamsetta.
Dinner we had nachos.
So made a Salsa
300g tomatoes
1 spring onion
1 capsicum (or mixed capsicum to equiv of 1 whole - I did green and red)
bunch of parsley
20g olive oil
juice of one lime
Put tomatoes, spring onion, capsicum, parsley in TMX and chop 8 sec sp 5 (or however long for the consistency you want).
Add olive oil and lime juice and mix 10 sec, sp 1.
I like my salsa spicer so added 1/2 teaspoon of tabasco - in future will add 1/2 to 1 chili at the beginning.
Adapted from a recipe on taste.com.au
Then minced some beef and made up the EDC ragu (for tonight's and tomorrow nights dinners)

Thurs 21 October - juice, bread crumbs, dahl
Thursday 21st October
Breakfast - orange and mandarin juice.
Dinner - I made tomato and lentil dahl (edc) and also Parmesan crumbed aubergine.
I fell in love with this recipe http://www.masterchef.com.au/falsomagro-with-crumbed-eggplant-and-tomato-sauce.htm on Junior Masterchef.
I created the crumb using:
1 clove of garlic
small handful of parsley
80g of breadcrumbs (broken up)
40g of parmesan (in cubes)
Added parmesan to TMX and chopped 6 sec spd 8
Added garlic, bread and parsley - chopped 5 sec spd 7
Sliced the eggplant and cut in half.
Then coated the eggplant in flour, egg and the above breadcrumbs and fried for a 2 mins each side.
They were nice but not as good as I'd hoped, didn't feel the parmesan flavour came through enough with that ratio.

dh and I had Mini Italian Chicken Ballotines served with salad. These were so yummy and gave me loads of ideas of things that could be stuffed in them. Think the girls will like these too. Filling and steaming chicken fillets like this will definitely be on the menu here.
Friday 1st October - grated parmesan and cheddar, bread, risotto
Grated parmesan and cheddar cheeses. 
Made bread dough. For lunch the girls made rolls filled and topped with cheeses, salami, ham, capsicum and olives. (here is three of them, the other three had already been nabbed, lol)

http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1858.0

And when cleaning the Thermomix I pulled the lid off and this bubble stayed across the top of the jug!
Thursday 26th August - grated cheese, herb and garlic dip, hummus, mince, bolognaise for nachos
This morning I grated cheese to go on the girls puff pastry things for lunch.

Dinner we had nachos, minced the pork and then made a bolognaise sauce in the Thermomix.
Thursday 19th August - Quick chicken curry, cheese, potato bake sauce
