Granola in a Thermomix

Granola in a Thermomix

I am super fussy when it comes to Granola. I like it to be full of flavour but no "hard bits" in it. I was born with fragile teeth and eating store bought food like this will most certainly break them if I am not careful. So I decided to create this recipe so I could eat it - worry free. It has 3 WW Points per serve - 20 grams. Originally it was only 2 points but I found I needed a little ...
Make your own Buttermilk

Make your own Buttermilk

I never have Buttermilk when I need it When you find yourself in the midst of weekend cooking and realize you're fresh out of buttermilk, there's no need to panic or make a special trip to the store for a large carton when you only need a small amount. You can easily create a substitute for buttermilk right in your kitchen with common ingredients. Here's a quick fix to make your own ...
Chris’s 63rd Birthday

Chris’s 63rd Birthday

Happy Birthday Chris In August, we joyously marked Chris's 63rd birthday. We indulged in not just one, but two cakes and two memorable gatherings before embarking on a magnificent two-week adventure in Bali. But why did we have two parties, you ask? The first gathering was reserved for our cherished "court companions." Within our close-knit community, everyone shares a genuine fondness for ...

Gina’s Birthday Cake

Gina's 30th Birthday❤️When Gina, our beloved daughter-in-law, marked her 30th birthday this year, she was back home with her family in Michigan, USA. Upon her return, it was time for a heartfelt family celebration. Given Gina's profound fondness for red wine, it was only fitting that this theme graced her celebratory cake. For this delightful creation, I embarked on the journey of baking an ...

Fertilizer for Tomatoes

Fertilizer for Tomatoes

That being said, here are a few general types of fertilizers that are often recommended for tomato plants: Organic compost: ...
First real weigh-in after two months, and it’s back to business! It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster—up, down, up, down—but here we are, down 300g. I’ve watched the daily and weekly fluctuations without much change, but honestly, it could have been much worse. With birthdays, weddings, stress, outings, and plenty of food, I’m happy to take that 300g loss as a win!

When asked by Elizabeth and Billy to make their Wedding Cake I felt so privileged. What an honour. 

Meticulous planning for just the right size without too much was the task at hand. Flavour choices were made. Vanilla cake with @lotusbiscoffus centre and dark chocolate shavings of @kokoblackchocolate 

Of course the main source was @funkybatter amazing recipes for the cake and battercream. Honestly they are THE BEST recipes. The cake would not have survived the trip to Torquay had it not been made in these. The battercream held up perfectly in 28 degree heat. 👌🏼 

The cake topper by @eventstobeau was perfection. Just was the couple wanted. Simple and elegant. It arrived beautifully packaged and it will be something they can treasure in a frame. Highly recommended 

Everyone loved the cake especially the bride and groom 👰‍♀️ 🤵

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!

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! 🏃‍♀️✨
