Leftover Pie with Sour Cream Pastry

Leftover Pie with Sour Cream Pastry

Doesn't need to be leftovers - Buy a Cooked Chook After Christmas we were left with Turkey & Ham. So we went looking for a recipe that could use them both in our Thermomix. We were OVER Turkey Sandwiches and Turkey with Salad! Chris found on the Recipe Community a Turkey & Leek Pie. Looked easy enough, but the instructions were a bit vague. I changed up the recipe to suit us. Turkey, ...
Pumpkin, Feta & Spinach Salad

Pumpkin, Feta & Spinach Salad

This Pumpkin, Feta and Spinach Salad is one of our favourite recipes. We make it often and whenever our daughter comes for dinner it is her NUMBER 1 request. She loves it. We are a little weird; we like the pumpkin almost burnt to bring out the sweetness, but it really is each to their own, but you can see in the image what we like. But it isn't a Thermomix Recipe? No, it isn't a Thermomix ...

Does your Pasta boil UP in the Thermomix?

Does your Pasta boil UP in the Thermomix?

And sometimes over? Cooking pasta in a Thermomix can be a bit of a learning curve - well for me it was. The first time I tried it, I had a bit of a scare when the water started to boil up and almost spilled over the sides of the Thermomix bowl. It was a bit of a shock, to say the least. I wasn't sure if it would actually boil over, but I didn't want to take any chances. That's when I ...
Peeled Almonds in a Thermomix

Peeled Almonds in a Thermomix

With The Blade Peeler/Cover While browsing Facebook recently, I stumbled upon an incredible kitchen tip that I just had to share. I reached out to Ann-Katrin, who graciously gave me permission to pass along this helpful "how-to" guide. During certain times of year, many of us are busy using ingredients for Christmas cakes, puddings, pies, and biscuits. One ingredient that often comes into ...

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!
