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 11th June - pancakes, yorkies, gravy

Breakfast - pancakes

Dinner - roast so did Yorkshire Pudding batter and gravy.

Sunday 8th May - juice, shortbread, muffins, yorkies, gravy

Happy Mother's Day to those that are celebrating today. Hope you were spoilt!

Dinner was roast lamb - yorkshire pudding batter and gravy made in the tmx.

Sunday 1st May - porridge, smoothie, playdough, fruit balls, yorkies, gravy

Breakfast made porridge and smoothie.

Then made some playdough (red and white)

Then made some dried fruit balls for lunch box snacks for the week.

Dinner was roast lamb - made yorkshire pudding batter in the TMX and the gravy.

Saturday 9th April - scones, bread, yorkshire pudding and gravy

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.

Dinner - had roast lamb, roast potatoes, roast mushrooms, yorkshire puddings (batter in tmx), carrots and broccoli, gravy (made in the tmx).

Wednesday 2nd March - vegie stock concentrate, yorkshire puddings

Made a batch of vegiestock concentrate.

Dinner was beef, roast potatoes, veg and yorkshire puddings.

Made the yorkshire pudding batter in the thermomix. (Jamie Oliver recipe again).

Thursday 20th January - smoothie, stock, udon soup, yorkshire puddings, quick strawberry 'icecream'

Breakfast - smoothie

Dinner - Made stock from lunches chicken carcass. And then made an udon soup with it.

chopped garlic, ginger, chili, added stock, little soy sauce, frozen peas, corn and carrot mix, cooked for 15 mins 100° reverse speed 1, adding a packet of udon noodles 3 mins before the end.

This was the planned dinner with some bread from yesterday.

But I got Jamie Oliver's 30 min meals in the post today and was reading through and his super quick and easy yorkshire pudding started a craving.

So dinner became as dd1 said 'a multicultural meal' as the soup was served with Yorkies, lol.

They were very yum though!! Kids had 3 each and I only managed 2!

Dessert made Jamie's 'Berry Icecream' (1/2 portion)

250g frozen berries (I used strawberries)

250g yoghurt

2 tablespoons of honey

All mixed together

This was nice and healthy though next time I would do a bit more on the fruit and less on the yoghurt as it was still a bit tangy/sour. But am wondering if this batch of strawberries aren't quite as full of flavour as thought that with my smoothie this morning as well.

One thing he'd mentioned was putting the bowls/cups in the freezer and think that would be a great idea for this or Strawberry Dream (edc) etc as it was fine in the girls plastic ikea bowls but in my bowl I've noticed it starts to melt around the edges as soon as it touches the bowl.
