Dinner tonight was an absolute winner—just 8 WW points and worth every bite! I came across this recipe while doom-scrolling one night and thought, YUM! So, I gave it a go with a few tweaks—swapped in light cream and used only 2 teaspoons of butter instead of tablespoons. It probably would have been even creamier, but honestly, it was plenty creamy for me! Super delicious, quick (only 30 minutes to cook!), and definitely one I’ll be making again. Total win! Recipe in photos and sorry I can’t credit anyone for it. I didn’t get that part.
I know I’ve been a bit MIA lately—sorry about that! Life has been non-stop with work deadlines and my daughter’s wedding coming up in just over three weeks. Meal planning and prep have gone out the window, and it’s been all about quick meals and eating out.
On top of that, I’ve got a lot of baking ahead:
🎂 A Cars-themed cake for a 3rd birthday
🎂 My daughter’s wedding cake
🎂 A birthday cake for the same day
🎂 A 1st birthday cake for my granddaughter
🎂 Another 1st birthday cake for a friend’s son
It’s full steam ahead in the kitchen! Wish me luck!

I saw this and thought it was very appropriate no matter what path you are on. Family, relationships, work, weightloss or just because 😏
My big thing has always been - take a step back and BREATHE!!

Wishing Billy the happiest of 30th birthdays. Billy, as you step into your 30th year, this year sure to be filled with amazing milestone moments (wedding) and endless happiness—we want to wish you the happiest of birthdays for Tuesday.
With everyone for dinner we had butter chicken by request and the trimmings.
Of course a cake had to be made and I created a @funkybatter Red Velvet Chocolate cake with @funkybatter vanilla battercream. Layers incorporated @kokoblackchocolate milk shavings and of course, a Playstation theme to suit the boy inside. The birthday boy was very happy 😃

Dinner tonight was a total winner—only 6 WW Points and super satisfying! A perfect healthy meal 🍽️
Crispy flathead fillets, lightly dusted with flour and seasoning, shallow pan-fried to perfection. Paired with crunchy air-fried chips and a fresh, vibrant salad made from lettuce, cucumber, homegrown tomatoes, chickpeas, and avocado.
The finishing touch? A drizzle of our favorite @fustinisholland balsamic vinaigrette, brought back from Michigan by the kids each year. It’s so good we use it sparingly, but it absolutely makes the meal!

Air Fryer Salmon Bites by @lifemadesweeter
2 WW Points plus whatever you put them with. I paired it with Nasi Goreng rice - 7 points
Crunchy, tasty, juicy and irresistible - my favourite way to have salmon these days. 10 minute cook and you’re eating a beautifully cooked salmon.
For the salmon
4 salmon fillet , thickest cut if possible, skin removed, cut into equal-sized cubes (about 1-inch)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground ginger
kosher salt or sea salt , to taste
cracked black pepper , to taste
For the sauce
1/4 cup coconut aminos , you can also sub with gluten-free tamari or low-sodium soy sauce if you’re not gluten-free.
3 tbsp honey , you can also use maple syrup or any other sticky liquid sweetener of your choice (for a lower sugar or lower carb option, you can opt for sugar-free maple syrup or allulose etc.)
1 tsp sesame oil
1-2 tsp Sriracha , or preferred hot sauce, to taste or omit if you’re sensitive to spice
1 tsp rice wine vinegar or 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
I serve this with rice. Sometimes plain, sometimes Nasi Goreng. All dependant on the mood of the cook 😝

First day back at WW workshops, and can I just say: “I’M THRILLED!” Coach Carol and the girls are like a walking pep rally—they’ve got enough enthusiasm to power a small country. The vibe? Immaculate. You can’t help but think, “I GOT THIS!” And honestly, they make you believe it. They’re like your personal cheer squad, dishing out support and purpose like it’s their superpower. Love my workshop? Understatement of the year.
This is exactly why I’m turning my house into a full-blown powerhouse! For all the folks who skip workshops for whatever reason (non WW members, schedule conflicts, the allure of sweatpants, or just pure rebellion), I’ve got you covered. Because let’s face it - Together We Thrive isn’t just a slogan; it’s a way of life. 🏠💪🍎 https://thethermocouple.com.au/together-we-thrive/
This week’s victory: down 400g! 💃 No exercise yet (oops), but hey, baby steps, right? I’ll get there—I can feel it. Here’s to more wins, less weight, and maybe even finding my walking shoes someday! 🏃♀️✨

Tonight’s dinner hit the spot on this hot Melbourne day—a refreshing prawn and tuna salad packed with all the good stuff! I went all out with the toppings: creamy avocado, perfectly boiled eggs, crunchy carrots, sweet corn, tender chickpeas, crisp cucumber, and a sprinkle of salty feta.
It was a vibrant, satisfying meal that didn’t just taste amazing but also felt light and healthy. The best part? It was only 3 WW Points, making it a guilt-free and diet friendly.

🎄 Christmas 2024 🎄This year Elizabeth, Billy and Ivy hosted lunch again and oh what a marvellous job they did. It was lovely. Them, us and Bradley. Daniel, Gina and Sofia are celebrating in the states with Gina’s family. We miss them dreadfully, especially on this special family day. ♥️
Turkey, ham, roast veggies, fruit cake, custard, and ice cream-what more could we need. Everything with all the trimmings. Merry Christmas to all 🎄

Birthday 58 vs. Birthday 59 – I know which one I prefer! Down 7.3kg with a little more to go. It’s not a huge amount but today my fellow ww friend handed me a 5kg ham today. Comparing that to what I have lost - wow 😮
Thank you, @ww_vic_australia, for not just the change in dress size but the complete lifestyle transformation. The amazing ladies and coach at the workshop in Essendon make all the difference—they’re so encouraging and make the whole journey so much more fun.
The support of family & friends - endless. Thank you

Thank you all for your messages, phone calls, FaceTime from the USA, posts, and for being part of my special day. This marks my final year in my 50s before reaching what I once considered “old.” Days like these remind me how fortunate I am for the life I have, the people I know, and the friends and family I love. I have had the last few days spoilt by everyone, especially Chris ♥️ Thank you, everyone for making me feel very loved
