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

Cheesy Broccoli Tuna Pasta Bake

Cheesy Broccoli Tuna Pasta Bake

Once again, I've opted for a new tuna recipe to experiment with using the Thermomix. Anna's recipes never disappoint, and I appreciate how I never experience that uncomfortable bloated feeling after enjoying them. Whenever I can, I turn to her cookbooks and have some enjoyable moments attempting to adapt them for the Thermomix. Creating this scrumptious and nutritious dish was a delight. ...
Old Fashioned Tuna Patties by Anna

Old Fashioned Tuna Patties by Anna

Anna's Recipe Converted to Thermomix Tuna is my absolute favorite, and when it comes to tuna dishes, Tuna Patties take the crown. I mean, who wouldn't love them? They bring together the goodness of tuna and mashed potatoes, which, in my opinion, is a winning combination! I've been a fan of Anna Van Dyken's tuna patties ever since I first tried them. But, as anyone who knows me can attest, ...
Varoma Steamed Vegetables

Varoma Steamed Vegetables

Roasted | Mashed | Steamed It's common knowledge that my Thermomix is my go-to kitchen gadget. Ever since we acquired it, I haven't touched our cooktop, except maybe when Noah was a boy - well since we bought a Thermomix. 🙂 When it comes to steaming my vegetables, the Thermomix is no exception. I always opt to pre-steam my roast vegetables, not only to achieve that extra crunch but also ...
Varoma Roast Chicken

Varoma Roast Chicken

The BEST and JUICY Roast Chicken Roasting chicken is a beloved tradition in our household, but I couldn't stand the mess, excessive oil use, and the time it consumed. To simplify the process and put my Thermomix to good use, I embarked on a culinary experiment. I scoured the internet for roast chicken recipes but was disappointed to find that they all called for copious amounts of oil. ...

Lemons Lemons Lemons

When life gives you lemons - Cook & Clean! Our next door neighbours two lemon trees is just filled to the brim and more of lemons. They are incredible. I went over and grabbed a basketful of lemons and it did not even put a dent in the tree. You couldn't even see where I had taken them from there were that many! WOW. After coming home I set about making the most of these beautiful ...

✨ 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! 🙌
