Food, Thermomix & a Healthier Me

Life isn’t about dieting — it’s about creating habits that support your health long term.

After 5 years with WW, I decided to move on. With no local workshops and too much uncertainty, it no longer felt right for me. My age, blood test results, and conversations with my doctors made it clear: WW just wasn’t cutting it anymore.

As I approach 60, I’ve learned how vital good fats and essential oils are for women’s health. I needed a new approach — one that’s realistic, nourishing, and sustainable.

I’ve now shifted to calorie counting, and yes — it’s working! I’m feeling better, eating better, and still using my Thermomix almost every day to make it all easy and delicious.

Curious to know more? Reach out — I’m happy to share what’s working for me: sue@thethermocouple.com.au

Cookidoo Recipes for the Young

Cookidoo for little ones Many people frequently inquire about the creations I make for our granddaughter Ivy or the dishes Elizabeth prepares. Lately, I've received numerous requests for recommendations on what's good and what's not. While I personally don't consume them and can only rely on Ivy's preferences, I decided to compile a list of Ivy's Likes and Dislikes. Elizabeth has been ...

WWs Pancakes in a Thermomix

Converted to Thermomix   Weight Watchers Vanilla Pancakes with Banana and Yoghurt recipe - changed to suit us. I sometimes feel like something sweet after dinner - in this case I wanted it before dinner, however I held out and cooked these for dessert. I looked at the recipe and thought, hmmm I don't want all those points so I will use Chobani 99% fat free yoghurt instead of vanilla which ...

WW’s Vanilla Panna Cotta in a Thermomix

Converted to Thermomix   Weight Watchers Vanilla Panna Cotta with Balsamic Strawberries - converted to Thermomix. Oh my goodness. I love panna cotta, and often order it in a restaurant. I made one once and it failed dismally. When I saw that WW had their own, I thought lets give this a go in the Thermomix. So I set about converting the steps to Thermomix Steps. Unconvinced at the end that it ...
Thermomix Biscoff & White Chocolate Cake

Thermomix Biscoff & White Chocolate Cake

Happy 30th Birthday Elizabeth A Biscoff and White Chocolate Cake made in our Thermomix is exactly what was required for my beautiful daughters 30th Birthday on the 9th December this year. It was a celebration that we were having in Phillip Island, Victoria. The cake needed to be made the day before and travel 2.5 hours away. Why do I do this to myself. 😊😢 Elizabeth isn't a fan of cakes, ...

Anna’s Cheesy Rice Slice – Converted to Thermomix

Converted to Thermomix Even before I acquired a Thermomix, Anna's recipe had already become one of my top choices for its simplicity and quick preparation. I used to whip up two batches, enjoying one immediately and stashing the other for a convenient "lazy" night. Anna's recipe is incredibly versatile. Whether for lunch, a picnic snack, or a hearty dinner paired with vegetables, it ...

✨ Dinner tonight was a winner! ✨ We made Jamie Oliver’s Fantastic Fish Pie 🐟🥧 and it did not disappoint. Creamy, comforting, and full of flavour — this dish instantly took me back to childhood memories of Mum’s salmon kedgeree 💛

There’s something so nostalgic about a fish pie — the crispy golden top, the rich filling, the feeling of being wrapped in a warm food hug. Just what you need on a cold winters night.

If you’re craving comfort food that hits the spot, this is it. Thanks Jamie — you’ve done it again! 👏

I did use cooking cream, not double cream and cut back on the cheese but could I tell the difference-NO!

Tonight’s dinner was the ultimate comfort food – Easy Cheesy French Onion Chicken Bake from Anna’s website. @feedmehealthy_annavandyken 

It’s one of our all-time favourites – rich, full of flavour, and irresistibly delicious. That golden, cheesy top gets us every time! We always serve it with creamy mashed potatoes and a side of steamed veggies. Simple, hearty, and oh-so-satisfying. Comfort food done right. 💛🍽️ Calories: 500 for my meal. Anna’s Chicken 350 per breast.

Wow 🤩 Anna’s PEACH & CHERRY CRUMBLES are next level! I split it into 4 serves so we can enjoy it all over again tomorrow 😍

When I first made this, I wasn’t sure the crumble would be enough for the fruit… but it was perfect. Now it is my go to dessert. Sweet and healthy and only 300 calories for a large serve. 

Huge thanks to Anna for this beautiful recipe! It’s from her second book 💛✨ @feedmehealthy_annavandyken

It’s been way too long since I made this Chicken, Spinach & Leek Risotto — and I forgot how much I love it! 💚🍚

I used to avoid it because WW had it super high in points, but after crunching the macros and calories myself, it actually stacks up really well:

✨ 322 cals
🍗 29g protein
🥑 20g fat
🌱 3g total carbs

I’m not on WW anymore, so can’t give you the points — but trust me, it’s so worth it. Comfort food done right! 🙌
