Fish Cakes
I'm sure everyone has their versions of these fish cakes, just like everyone has a version of the Tuna Bake or Macaroni and Cheese. So here is mine. This is budget, budget food. You can used any cheap tinned fish, sardines, tuna, mackerel, or salmon. Less or...
Pulled Pork – Slow Cooker
Pulled Pork is a thing and it has been for a while now so I thought I had better put together a recipe. I'm a late bloomer with some things, but apart from bacon, I'm not really into pork. However, pulled pork is everywhere and when I tried a BBQ pulled pork and...
Mexican Soup – A Taco in a Bowl ( Thermomix Recipe Included)
A Mexican taco in a bowl you say! Nothing better than your favourite Mexican meal turned into a soup and for the Thermomix as well. This recipe came about because I was developing my soup recipe eBooks and realised that beef isn't really something we put in soup very...
Tuna Bake (Thermomix Method Included)
Well I'm back and thought I would really go old school. I have lost count of how many times this meal has saved me from starvation (I could still live a long time on my fat stores) when I was a UNI, when I was on a budget, when I had no food in the house except pasta...
Curry Chicken (Thermomix Method Included)
Before I give you this recipe, I'm not a fan, but MY DAD LOVES it, so what is a daughter to do? Whenever we have left over BBQ or I make any of my steamed chicken recipes in the Thermomix particularly Chicken and Corn Soup OR Chicken, Vegetables and Mash, he asked for...
Chicken and Vegetable Luncheon Meat (Thermomix Method Only)
I seem to be confessing a lot of food things at the moment 🙂 Here is another. I love Chicken Luncheon Meat.. you know that bleached white little knob of chicken luncheon in the white and blue packet... it tastes even better with the fake Kraft cheese on a quarter of...
Baked Arancini Balls
So you have left over risotto... You don't make risotto you say?? WELL, you obviously don't own a Thermomix. It is one of our go to meals as it can be cooked and on the table in under 25 minutes! If you have a Thermomix and make risotto then read on. If you make...
Lasagna (Thermomix Method Included)
This recipe is part 3 of the 3 part recipes that I always make at the same time. Click HERE for the Eggplant Parmigiana Recipe Click HERE for Moussaka Recipe So this is just a basic lasagna. I find that if you make this, then cook it the next day it always tastes...
Moussaka (Thermomix Method Included)
This recipe is part 2 of the 3 part recipe series that I make at the same time. This would probably have to be my favourite layer type dishes as it has the yummy eggplant, but also the meat sauce and white sauce, but it doesn't have all the pasta, so after I have...
Eggplant Parmigiana (Thermomix Method Included)
Eggplant Parmigiana is one of my favourite vegetarian dishes. I once served it at a dinner party which included guys and they loved it and didn't even know they weren't eating meat (I just called it Parmigiana, leaving off the eggplant) I remember reading somewhere...
Chicken and Corn Soup (Thermomix Method Only)
I am always looking for inspiration and great ideas that I can use to make food more flavour some and then make food that has no waste. Better still, that I can get many meals out of one thing. For me this is chicken. It is the most versatile meat and is really...
Spinach and Cheese Cannelloni (Thermomix Method Included)
I recently posted the very yummy Pumpkin, Feta and Sage Cannelloni, the easy roll up way. I enjoyed it so much I thought I had better put up the one that I make all the time. This is a classic Italian dish that I have made for as long as I have been cooking Italian...
Chicken, Vegetables and Mashed Potato in the Varoma (Thermomix Version Only)
As a Thermomix Consultant, I always get lots of people saying that they don't use their Varoma's enough... I use my Varoma nearly every day. At the very least it is used to steam my chicken for lunches, veggies for dinner and sticky date puddings...! Whether you own a...
Slow Cooker Pea and Ham Soup (Thermomix Method Included)
I think I have been eating pea and ham soup since I was... well forever. The bone from the Christmas ham goes in the freezer and then come out when the weather get cooler and pea and ham soup is made... You still need to get a ham hock to add some flavour and...
Lisa’s Slow Cooked Honey, Lamb and White Beans (Thermomix Method included)
Well technically Lisa makes this in her beautiful Le Creuset casserole dish, but I don't have one, so I made this in my slow cooker and it works just as well. Instead of lamb shanks I cut a leg of lamb in half and used that, so you can really use any large cut of lamb...
Pumpkin, Sage and Feta Cannelloni (Thermomix Method Included)
I love Cannelloni, it is one of my favourite pastas, but I hate stuffing them... it is such a messy, painful job and I really can't be bothered to pipe it in, so this is my solution! Roll up Cannelloni. All you do is get fresh lasagna sheets (or make them yourself)...
Chicken Carbonara (Thermomix Method Included)
In Italy, Carbonara is traditionally served without cream, just bacon, egg, pasta and parmesan. This is because even though lovely creamy sauces are delicious, Italians are all about highlighting the pasta. I was fortunate enough to visit Italy for 3 weeks (too long...
Chicken and Vegetable Lasagna (Thermomix Method Included)
This recipe was born out of an accident. I was racing around one day and grabbed some mince out of the freezer to defrost for dinner, as some friends were coming over and I wanted to make a lasagna. When I got home... I had defrosted Chicken mince instead. So, I just...
Creamy Massaman Curry (Thermomix Method Included)
So this is the last in my curry series for a bit, but don't worry, I will be back with more very soon 🙂 This is a yummy slow cooking curry as you generally use a cheaper cut of meat. I have used a gravy beef, but you could use blade steak, chuck steak etc... or even...
