Thermomix Lovers United #2

Rocky dream is the best. I make with ground chia instead of eggwhite and it tastes great.

Chocolate custard is another favourite. That never last in out house. DH doesnt like custard so I dont know where it goes. The gremlins, presumably.

I just bought a whole lot of fruit & vegies. I want to start making green smoothies, so I'll freeze some avacado & banana overnight. I have spinach and kale & I'll throw in some berries, an egg and whatever else. Lets hope it tastes good. I'm also going to stew some fruit - rhubarb, berries, plums. Maybe a bit of lemon. I did it with a whole mandarin once and it was surprisingly yummy.

Tonight I plan on making an all in one meal. Steamed salmon, green beans and mashed sweet potato. Better go. TMX is calling

Well the Thermomix demo I was supposed to be going to tomorrow night has been cancelled. Maybe someone is trying to tell me something, that is the 3rd I have missed out on now LOL. Another friend has one booked for the 22nd so hopefully that one sticks.

Lol astro, bummer! Don't eat too much before you go because you get about 6 courses to sample.

We make brekky smoothies too, skim milk, banana, blueberries, linseed (flaxseed), magnesium and vital greens powder.

I made the hot chocolate last night and it was very dark and strong! Next time I think I will try 30g of cocoa instead. I added 1 heaped teaspoon of cornflour and it was a great texture. I can highly recommend you try it.

I also made a chicken and vegetable pie last night - made the filling in the thermie, but the chicken was kinda pulverised by the end of the cooking. Next time I think I will steam the chicken and make a white sauce in the base.

Bloom - if you put the chicken pieces in the steamer basket whilst cooking, that will prevent it being pulverised. It's what I do when I'm making chicken soup.

Last night I was tempted to not cook. Too tired. But I made myself, so I made an adaption of a chicken, vegie & rice dish I found on a blog. I cooked the rice in a mix of coconut milk and water whilst steaming the chicken & veggies. I did make a sauce to marinate the chicken in but it may have been better as a sauce to pour over. It wasnt as good as the salmon the night before. Still, it was better than getting fish n chips. It's interesting working out the timings too, as the recipe was for a whole chicken but I just cooked a chicken breast. Anyway, I have left overs for lunch.

The green smoothies are yummy. I just make sure there's lots of tasty fruit to disguise the spinach & kale.

I just took the GF coconut and banana loaf out of the oven and it's collapsed! Just waiting for it to cool before cutting it to see if it's doughy inside. Might be one of those things where the TMX didn't provide enough aeration

ETA - yep, yukky doughy bleh. Doesn't tast good either, so it's getting chucked. I'm not making that again. It uses psyllium husk instead of egg. oh well, we live and learn.

I used chia seed gel in place of egged for apple fritters and they were doughy too

Made southern Indian curry for tea, was nice but needed chilli in it!!

The green smoothies are yummy. I just make sure there's lots of tasty fruit to disguise the spinach & kale.

Really? All I taste is chocolate in mine - sometimes banana if it's a little bit too much. Can't wait for tomorrow - another green smoothie day!!

Had the raw fruit cereal today with a splash of milk - so yummy.

Plus made chicken balls for dinner - we love them!

I think i have perfected the Macaroni cheese for me... I could possibly live on it.
