Monday/ Tuesday 8th November - porridge, mashed potato and veg, 4 berry sorbet

Monday - breakfast - porridge

Dinner - mashed potatoes and steamed veg to go with a roast turkey joint that I'd cooked earlier (so all the timings could fit in with afternoon activities).

Tuesday - 4 berry sorbet, hot here today so a cooling sorbet was needed for after school treat.

Thursday 20th - porridge, pineapple slushie

Porridge and pineapple slushie today.

Friday 23rd September - porridge, slushie, stock. chicken and sweetcorn soup

Breakfast - porridge.

Another hot one and the pineapple slushie from yesterday was again requested, am thinking we'll need shares in a pineapple canning factory to get through the summer!!

Chicken stock, and chicken and sweetcorn soup for dinner.

Thursday 22nd September - porridge, boiled eggs, strawberry jam, pineapple slushie

Breakfast - porridge.

Made boiled eggs to go with salads and cold roast chicken for dinner. Still just love how easy it is to boil eggs in the tmx and how they never break.

And made strawberry jam. (I use jamsetta and cook for 10 mins at the end on varoma to thicken it up)

Afternoon tea was pineapple 'slushie', basically pineapple sorbet but used tinned pineapple and juice (not frozen) so it was more a slushie. Kids all loved it.

Saturday 17th September - strawberry sorbet, teriyaki beef

Lovely weather here today, feels like summer!!

So after being in and out all day we had Strawberry Sorbet (edc recipe) for afternoon snack, YUM!

The kids all love sorbet and a great cooling afternoon snack and of course so easy in the thermomix.

Dinner - Teriyaki beef and noodles (meat on the menu recipe), added mushrooms and brocolli when cooking to make it a full meal.

Haven't had this in ages but was always a favourite and still is yum. dd3 asked if we could have it again tomorrow.

Wednesday 12th January - cherry cordial, tropical sorbet

Strangely enough didn't use the TMX for any of today's main meals (?? odd hey!!).

Breakfast was toast and stuff, lunch I made a pizza scroll with the last pizza dough yesterday, served with salads, and dinner was spinach and ricotta puff pastry rolls.

But did make some cherry cordial. Had heard good reviews of the EDC berry cordial recipe and it was hot and I fancied a drink with some flavour so thought I'd give it a go with some cherries. I did half the amount of sugar to the strained liquid and it was great. Kids loved it and dd1 was very impressed to find out there was a whole jar more in the fridge, lol. Did wonder if they knew what cordial was but asked dd2 when we were making it and she told me she'd had some at a friends house.

Dessert was Tropical Sorbet - using the tropical frozen fruit mix (pineapple, mango and papaya I think) from frozberries. I made half mixture, stopping and mixing with the spatula half way through as with the smaller quantities you can't mix as well through the top. This mix is really nice as a sorbet.

Wednesday 10th November - strawberry sorbet, potato bake, bread

Afternoon tea - Strawberry sorbet - was hot today and this was a lovely refreshing afternoon treat.

Dinner - potato, courgette and mushroom bake - prepared the onion, garlic and herbs in the TMX and parboiled the potato slices in the TMX.



Also made a loaf of bread.

Wed 4th August - porridge, sausages, mash and gravy, strawberry sorbet

Wednesday 4th August

Breakfast - porridge

Dinner - Sausages, mash and onion gravy (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3821.0)

with veg.

The gravy was once again so nice.

Dessert - strawberry sorbet (yum yum yum)

Fri 16th July - juice, chicken seasoning paste, sorbet

Juice with breakfast - 2 oranges, mandarin and apple

Later I made a paste of garlic, deseeded green chili, spring onion, salt and pepper, paprika and oil - this is to go on the chicken strips that were crumbed and baked for dinner (along with wedges and veg).

And because it's my birthday I made strawberry sorbet for dessert - yum yum yum!
