There is still a couple of good things about not having Sunday trading in Perth.  One of those is that you can normally pick up heaps of bargins in the deli and meat sections of the supermarket after about 4pm on a Saurday afternoon.  My local had 50% off sliced meats and everything in the seafood section, […]

I never turn down free lemons…….so when a shopping bag full of “Aunty Bettys” lemons came my way, I jumped for joy.  My hubby loves to whip up the lemonade from the EDC, lemon butter is always welcome and after seeing a couple of Donna Hay’s lemon recipes in the paper on the weekend, I […]

I have had my TMX for 7 months now, and during that time, my whole world has changed.  I have been uncomfortable with my weight for a long time.  Lets face it, as the years went on, my body took the hits.  Two kids in 2 years left me feeling like a kangaroo – I seemed […]

I had never heard of this cake until I watched Bethanny’s Getting Married.  Bethanny Frankle was one of the original Housewives of New York, and then went on to have her own show where she gets maried.  She insisted (very strongly) that she have this particular Red Velvet cake for her wedding cake.  Anyway, it has been on […]

This is a quick and easy recipe for a Pastry-less Quiche.  I had this hand written on a scrap of paper in the cupboard for years and always pulled it out when I needed something easy, with just a few ingredients.  It’s great for lunch or an afternoon tea when someones drops around, and you […]

Howdy Do you ever have those times when you don’t try anything fancy, you just want to stick with the tried, tested and tasted recipes?  That is where I am at this weekend.  We had Chicken and Cashews from the EDC tonight. I found myself in an interesting conversation with someone yesterday about the Thermomix.  […]

After going  to Tenina’s class the other night, then seeing cream on sale, I decided to do a batch of butter.  The cream was on sale, the butter wasn’t, so TMX saved the day and the wallet!  The fantastic by-product of making your own butter in the TMX, is the Buttermilk – BONUS!!!! I found a recipe on […]

I always seem to have 2 or 3 oranges floating around at the bottom of my fruitbowl.  I still have marmalade left over from the last orange-fest at our house, so today I wanted to do something different.  I came across this easy Orange cake recipe and it seemed like a good candidate for a […]

I have always made these sausage rolls but had to mix the sausage meat by hand…….ewwwww!  Not my favorite job!  But this time I thought I would save time and get the TMX to do the hard work for me.  These sausage rolls are fool proof (this fool can make them), and you can “hide” […]

Here is a recipe that my hubby has been perfecting in the Thermomix.  It s a YUMMO freeform Apple & Rhubarb Pie – no tin or baking dish needed!  Its a real hit straight out of the oven and tastes great the next day too (if it lasts that long!). Pastry Ingredients 250g cold unsalted butter […]
