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

Meal Planning – May

Meal Planning – May

I'm pleasantly surprised by my progress in Meal Planning for May. There are a couple of factors contributing to this: Firstly, I recently received my 5kg loss chip at my WW Meeting last Wednesday and it has really motivated me to stay on track and continue seeing results. Despite my current back issue, (I get sciatica) which has limited my mobility, I am really motivated to do more! ...
Low WW Point Snacks – Sweet & Savoury

Low WW Point Snacks – Sweet & Savoury

Low WW point snacks - sweet & savoury. One of the greatest perks of WW (Weight Watchers) is its inclusive approach to food. There are no forbidden items on the menu. Snacking isn't confined to just "rabbit food"; it's about finding balance. My late-night snack cravings are notorious—I crave something crunchy and savoury. I used to stand in the kitchen, staring into the pantry or ...
Creamy Chicken Cauliflower Soup

Creamy Chicken Cauliflower Soup

Conventional & Thermomix During a Weight Watchers meeting this week, some folks expressed their fatigue with minestrone soup as a Zero-point meal. I chimed in about my fondness for a unique soup I whip up using my Thermomix. Intrigued, everyone inquired about the recipe, so here it is. I find it incredibly satisfying and delicious. Initially, I anticipated it might taste like ...

Meal Planning – April

Meal Planning – April

It's Easter Monday and I've spent the day with Chris, meal planning for the month ahead. Having another perspective was invaluable as we scoured recipe books, Cookidoo, and the internet for ideas. We're also tapping into a stash of freezer meals from the past two months. Most of our recipes serve 4 to 6 people, which is too much for us, so I split them into two portions and freeze the ...

✨ 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! 🙌
