Roast for dinner - made the gravy in the tmx.

Sunday 13th November - pancake mix, butter, stock, cream of chicken and mushroom soup, gravy

Mon/Tues 31st/1 November - porridge, gravy

Tuesday - porridge and gravy to go with roast chicken dinner.

We are just so busy at the moment they we seem to be sticking with the same few meals, really need to find the time to get stuck into some cookbooks and come up with some different meals.
Though it's hard to find things that cook super quick and can be easily reheated/kept warm.

Sunday/Monday 9/10th October - boiled eggs, gravy, cheese and zucchini muffins,, porridge

Sunday - breakfast - boiled eggs.
Made cheese and zucchini muffins for lunch boxes (forum recipe)

Saturday 13th August - boiled eggs, stock, yorkies, gravy

Breakfast - boiled eggs. Still love how easy it is to boil eggs in the tmx (edc recipe), though today I also did poached eggs to make everyone happy.

Made chicken stock. I worked out on the fact that I make liquid chicken stock on average once a week I save over $150 a year on stock alone (compared to using the packaged liquid stocks I used to use). Stock is just so easy to make using the tmx and using the basket means it's already strained and ready to store/use when it finished cooking.

Dinner - we had roast lamb - Yorkshire pudding batter (recipe from Jamie's 30 minute meals and on here somewhere - 1 cup flour, 1 cup of milk, 1 egg, blend. heat muffin tin for 15 mins, pour in oil and batter mixture quickly and pop back in oven and cook 14 mins) and gravy done in the tmx.

Saturday 6th August - stock, stuffing, gravy

Made chicken stock.

Had roast chicken for dinner.
The tmx was used to make the stuffing (made breadcrumbs with fresh parsley, thyme and rosemary and set aside. Chopped garlic, onion, celery, a little bacon, added butter and oil and sautéed for 5 mins. Mixed with the breadcrumbs and an egg and stuffed the chicken (a lovely corn fed chicken I got on 1/2 price special this morning! bargain!)
Made yorkshire pudding batter (same recipe as usual as per Jamie Oliver's 30 min meals)
And then made gravy with the pan juices, some of todays chicken stock etc.

Saturday 23rd July - porridge, gravy

8min, 90°, reverse.

Dinner was roast lamb and made the gravy in the tmx.

19 July - porridge, gravy

Been fairly quiet in tmx land here, yesterday was leftovers and stuff.

Made porridge in the tmx. We alternate a bit between the tmx and the microwave as dd3 prefers microwave, dd2 tmx. But think I've about got the tmx porridge so that dd3 likes it.

Dinner - had roast pork, roast potatoes, carrots and mushrooms. Made gravy in the tmx.



Saturday 9th July - juice, stock, gravy

Made juice.

Dinner we had roast duck, I made some chicken stock and from some of that made the gravy.
Yum, we haven't had duck in such a long time, it's an absolute favourite of mine but always seems so expensive.

Friday 27th May - rice, vegetables, gravy

Dinner - Dropped the kids at gym, then cooked a 'roast' chicken in the pressure cooker whilst cooking tmx rice and vegies in the varoma. (so less than 30 mins from starting to prep)
Popped them in the thermoserver, picked up the girls, then whilst dishing up made a gravy from the juices in the tmx.
Yummy and perfect for our busy afternoons.

Made scones (nay-nay's recipe, though used some buttermilk from making butter yesterday 1/2 and half with milk) Yum, so light and fluffy.

Made a loaf of bread.
So nice to have homemade bread again. The only problem is the kids can't slice it to get themselves breakfast.

Monday 14th March - sausage, mash, veg and onion gravy, cashew chocolate pudding.

Dinner - made Sausage, mash and onion gravy with veg using the forum recipe. Haven't had this in ages but dh had bought some sausages for the bbq on the weekend but we all had steak instead. It was really yummy, forgot how nice it was.
And for dessert Jabba's chocolate cashew cream
http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4579.0

Made it before dinner and popped in the fridge to chill, so super super easy and tasty. Next time I'll add a little more cocoa, wondering even if you could melt some chocolate but still chill it quite quickly.
