Birthday Cake Surprises

Birthday Cake Surprises

2 birthday girls - 3 cakes!This week has been a whirlwind of cake-making activities. First, there was Ivy's 2nd birthday cake for her actual birthday, and I had free rein to create whatever I wanted. Stepping up my game, I made a Lemon Cake with a lemon curd centre. I experimented with some new techniques, including fondant flowers and intricate buttercream lines. Speaking of buttercream – I ...
Anna’s Cheesy Potato & Bacon Bake

Anna’s Cheesy Potato & Bacon Bake

Anna’s Cheesy Potato & Bacon Bake I just had to make this for my weekly lunches. I NEEDED something delicious, and this recipe is exactly that!! Anna, this is amazing, but you know me - I HAD to convert it to Thermomix 😝 The photo shows the dish straight from the fridge, as we made it on Monday using our Thermomix, and it will be our lunches for the next few days. It’s so good! I enjoyed ...
Slow Cooked Beef Stew

Slow Cooked Beef Stew

WW Friendly Slow Cook Beef Stew Few things rival the comforting embrace of a hearty stew, slowly simmered throughout the day, transforming tough, gelatinous cuts of meat into melt-in-your-mouth succulence. Stew holds a special place in my culinary repertoire—it's a dish that speaks to the soul. I typically pair it with creamy mashed potatoes, though on days when I'm watching my WW Points ...
Meal Planning – June

Meal Planning – June

May WW (Weight Watchers) Meal Planning was quite the rollercoaster! Chris was away in the Gold Coast for work, while I found myself in Mulwala attending a family funeral. Upon returning home, I was greeted not with open arms, but with a nasty case of the flu! It seemed like everything that could go wrong did go wrong, turning May into a bit of a debacle. Amidst the chaos, a wild idea ...

WW Friendly Lemon & Poppyseed Protein Drizzle Cake

WW Friendly Lemon & Poppyseed Protein Drizzle Cake made in a Thermomix WW (Weight Watchers) friendly Lemon & Poppyseed Protein Drizzle Cake in the Thermomix that's perfect for busy mornings! I love scouring the internet for quick and easy breakfast ideas, especially ones I can grab on the go. After finding several recipes for breakfast bars, muffins, and cakes, I realized they ...
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! 🏃‍♀️✨
