Dinner had a chicken and veg 'fried' rice. I've taken to doing stir fry's on the stove top but I so love the ease of using the tmx, rice in the basket, chicken (marinated) and vegies in the varoma, cook for 16 mins, pop the chicken and vegies with some soy sauce, sweet chili sauce and sesame oil and cook for a minute, mix all together. Yum! And so easy. I prepped (10 mins before going to collect dd, home) then cooked for less than 20 mins and all ready to serve. Whilst it was cooking I did the lunch box washing up and general tidying. Love how the tmx frees you up for other things.

Monday 21st November - choc orange muffins, chicken and veg fried rice
Made orange muffins with choc chips (forum recipe) so love this one as I love orange but hate peeling them, so the throw the whole thing in so appeals to me. Haven't had them in ages as dd2 doesn't like them, so I tend to avoid but as I'm making heaps this week it wasn't a problem.

Tuesday 10th May - mayonnaise, rice, piri piri sauce, vegetables
Today I made some mayonnaise - dh wanted some to go with tuna for his lunches, I'm sure dd2 will be pleased to know I made a batch too.
Lunch - rice.
Dinner - we had Jamie Oliver's piri piri chicken (30 min meals book) with rice and steamed veg.
Made the piri piri sauce in the tmx (using homemade sweet paprika too) and then cooked the rice and vegetables in the tmx. (the chicken was pan fried and then oven baked).
This was really yummy and dd2 really loved the sauce.

Breakfast - smoothie
Dinner - new potatoes, prawns and vegies.
Monday 28th March - porridge, rice, vegetable

Really yummy, sous vide cooked and then heat for 20 mins, I cooked it in the oven, with rice and vegies in the tmx/varoma and then poured the jus into the tmx, added a spoonful of cornflour and cooked to make a delicious gravy (better I think than the dipping sauce it came with. A couple of additives I'm not happy with but if it's on special I'd buy it again as we all loved it.

B

Blitzed garlic and ginger, added 700g water, put rice in basket, pork in foil parcel with soy sauce. Cooked 10 mins, varoma temp. Added vegies to top varoma tray and cooked another 10 mins.
Added sherry, soy sauce and corn flour to the bowl and cooked 4 minutes to make the sauce.
Also added a scrambled egg - had brought the eggs in from the chickens and one had a soft shell so quickly fried it up in a pan I already had out.

Friday 18th March - rice and vegetables
Dinner - Made chicken pie with rice and vegetables cooked in the TMX.
The chicken I baked in soy sauce, then shredded and wrapped in pastry with spinach, feta and sour cream.
Thinking about it I could have cooked the chicken in the varoma at the same time as the rice and vegies and put them in the thermoserver whilst the pies were cooking (only takes 20 mins).
These pies were really really yummy and the kids all had thirds and ate far too much, lol.
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.
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.
Saturday 5th March - chocolate cake, chocolate ganache, vegie sausage rolls, honey, soy and lime marinade, creamy tomato pasta, chicken stock
It's dd3's 4th Birthday Party tomorrow so made
Chocolate Cake and Chocolate Ganache to ice it.
Decorated with chocolate numbers to make a clock face (was a bit of a squeeze to get the big ones on, lol, though looks a bit neater irl.
Made vegie 'sausage roll' mix
Did a double portion of this recipe I made up
http://thermomixmeals.blogspot.com/2011/02/sunday-13th-february-pancakes-vegie.html
Have partially cooked them ready to be heated up tomorrow.
Made a honey, soy and lime marinade for chicken drumsticks (having a BBQ tomorrow).
For dinner the girls had creamy tomato pasta.
I also made some chicken stock (just because I had a carcass to use up - but thinking soup and leftovers will be good for dinner tomorrow night).
