Sue & Chris

The ThermoCouple

Life isn’t about dieting — it’s about building habits that last. After 5 years with WW, I realised it wasn’t enough for me anymore. Approaching 60, I needed a realistic, nourishing approach that supported my health — good fats, essential oils, and sustainable eating.

Now, I count calories, feel better, eat better, and still rely on my Thermomix almost daily to make it easy and delicious.

Curious? I’d love to share what’s working: sue@thethermocouple.com.au

I want to apologise for being absent with recipes and new food ideas lately. Work has been overwhelmingly busy, my weight has been up and down, and I’ve been running on crazy hours — averaging 10-hour days, six days a week, completely neglecting myself.

Bali is my chance to slow down, reflect, and reset my mind before returning home. With my 60th birthday coming up in December, I’m making a promise to focus on me and do all the things that nurture my body, mind, and soul.

BALI HERE WE COME!

TTC – Fish & Chips

TTC – Fish & Chips

Fakeaway at it's best Fish & Chips are my favourite takeaway - but made in our Thermomix for it is crunchy and tasty is my dream. I was sick of gooey fish coating on my oven baked fish and those from the supermarket are full of nasties. Crunchy - yes. Tasty - Yes. Fattening - YES! I decided to make up my own that was low in calories and fat. This whole meal was only 6 Personal Points ...

My "Thermomix Bible" on my wall These are my "BIBLE" images that I have in picture frames on my kitchen wall. I refer to them all the time. Yes, my brain fails me regularly 😆 I have made these to be downloaded (buttons below) in PDF format to be printed. The images aren't the best when printed, but the PDF's come up nice and clear.
Tuna & Veggie Pasta Bake

Tuna & Veggie Pasta Bake

And guess what ... it's Weight Watchers Friendly Tuna Pasta Bake would have to be one of my all time favourite meals. However, I know it really isn't that nourishing or good for you. Well, it is, it is just full of fat and carbs and certainly not WW Friendly. So I decided to write my own recipe (OMG) and make it taste delicious, be nutritious and be WW Friendly. Guess what - I did it ...

Morning from Sanur – honestly, this place is heaven on earth (with a touch of sauna on the side 🥵).
We kicked off at a “cool” 26° and humid, but the second the sun popped up it was like someone cranked the oven to full blast.

Our stroll from the hotel to the marina included a very necessary breakfast stop at Puri Santrian – because walking without food is just exercise, and nobody came here for that 😂.

Finished up with icy cold drinks for the girls and a well-earned Bintang for the boys 🍻. Hydration is key, after all!

Now it’s officially rest, recover, and pretend-we-didn’t-sweat-like-tourists time.

Our first morning in Sanur and of course we had to chase the sunrise! Roby, Chris and I wandered down to the beach at 5:40am, while Sue decided to snooze through it 😜 At first, the clouds made it look like we might miss out, but Sanur didn’t disappoint – what a magical morning 🌅

✨ 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!
