We personally have a busy life style. Not socially but business wise.

We both work from home. Chris for a company and Sue for herself. Time runs away from us. Next thing we know its 7/7:30pm and no dinner has been started.

A quick risotto, soup, pasta, chicken & veggies – all done in 30 minutes.

Why is this a money saver? In the past it would have been a quick takeaway meal.

Chinese Takeaway

Fried Rice | Chicken & Veggies – $40

Thermomix Fakeaway

Rice | Chicken & Veggies – $10

What we didn’t get with our Thermomix food is hidden salt/MSG/?? – who isn’t thirsty as all get out after Chinese takeaway

This happens most week nights for us – forgetting the time.

This has been our week so far – each meal has taken less than 30 minutes – except of course the yoghurt. Took 5 minutes to setup and 10 hours overnight to ferment. Weekly yoghurt done !

Week Ending: 11-02-2022

Making Stock

In the past on “Grocery Day” you clean out the soggy vegetables at the bottom of your fridge. Image being able to use that by creating incredible stock paste/liquid. All that is in the stock is vegetables and salt. So good for you and no waste.

Purchasing only one sugar is now a dream. We buy Raw Sugar and make all the different types that we need

• Caster Sugar
  • 250g Store bought $0.70. Thermie $0.45
• Icing Sugar
  • 250gms store bought $1.10. Thermie $0.45
• Brown Sugar

MAKE YOUR OWN – Healthy & Convenient

• Rice
• Almond
• Spelt
• Wheat
• Self raising
• Gluten Free Baking Powder

Within minutes you make all the types of flour that you need. No trips to the supermarket.

Making your own yoghurt in a thermomix is probably one of the easiest things to do – only difference – it takes time! We set our for last thing at night so it ferments all night. It turns off and it’s ready for us to put in the fridge in the morning. Less Fat, WAY LESS SUGAR, less Nasties!

• Greek Yoghurt
  • 1kg Store bought $6.80. Thermie $2.60 – yes I included power consumption
• Vanilla Yoghurt
  • 1kg Store bought $5.50. Thermie $2.60 – yes I included power consumption
• Fruit Yoghurt
  • 160g store bought $2.85. Thermie $0.60 – $1.00 depending on the fruit.

This is one way we make ours. Small jars for quick grab. We also make yoghurt in a varoma with a thermoserver – that way we can change it up if we want. Add fruit, granola (thermi made of course) and breakfast grabs as we call them. Yoghurt mixed with seeds and oats.

Having a daughter that cannot tolerate cows milk, she has Almond Milk. Store bought is great and convenient but oh does it have additives! All the milks below are just nut/oats/rice and water ONLY

• Almond Milk
  • 1 litre Store bought $3.00. Thermie $0.96 – we buy our Nuts from Aldi – the cheapest and best around.Store bought ingredients
    
• Oat Milk
  • 1 litre Store bought $3.50. Thermie $1.00Store bought ingredients
    
• Cashew Milk
  • 1 litre Store bought $3.00. Thermie $1.00Store bought ingredients
    
• Rice Milk
  • 1 litre Store bought $3.00. Thermie $0.14Store bought ingredients
    

You will see with all the ingredients there is not just the product and water. They have salt, oils,  acidity regulators (?) emulsifiers & sabilisers.
Really ? All we want is the natural product!! And Thermomix® offers you that!

If you want sweeter milk – throw in a couple of medjool dates (pip removed) – yummy!

Oh … don’t do what we did when we first made the milks. They made me feel a bit sick. What I realised is my body was used to WATERED DOWN MILKS – and these home made ones are NOT watered down. I now create the receipe and then add another 500mls – 1 litre of water, depending on the taste. Yes, it makes that much. Amazing isn’t it.

We cook a lot of rice. Have I ever perfected it – NEVER! Either under cooked or gluggy.

With a Thermomix you have perfect boiled rice in 15-30 minutes. Dependant on what  rice you are cooking.

Ours is Basmati or Jasmine – standard white rice – 17 mins! Done 👍🏼
