Thermomix sweet potato Mac & Cheese
This recipe is originally from Nigella, so you know it’s going to be a good one right. I saw it here the other day when I was reading the Daily Mail online (yes, I still read the British papers). It looked too good not to try, especially as my family are HUGE mac and cheese […] Read more…
Thermomix prawn and coconut curry. This deliciously quick and simple meal of perfect for busy week nights.
I was in Aldi the other day and they had frozen prawns on special offer. I LOVE prawns, so I stocked up and bought 4 bags to chuck in the freezer. Luckily we all love prawns in our house (apart from Mr D, but we’re converting him slowly). So, as we have a freezer full […] Read more…
Mini toad in the hole with sweet potato mash (thermomix)
Despite it’s funny appearance (I know you giggled – so did Mr D), toad in the hole is actually bloody delicious. I mean who doesn’t love sausages in pancake batter? My friend Amanda from ‘A cooker and a Looker blog’ taught me exactly how to make toad in the hole (and her version is non thermomix […] Read more…
Thermomix sweet and spicy lentil soup
My bones are cold. There’s an icy wind blowing through Sydney today and although I have the heater on, I can’t seem to warm up. I don’t know how I ever managed to live in England!!!! The only thing that’s going to help today is a bowl of lovely warm soup, so I’ve just whipped […] Read more…

My older two kids have been there, done that, and are now relatively happy to eat whatever I cook at dinner time. My three year old on the other hand, has totally got other ideas, and every night we […] Read more…
Sweet potato, coconut & lentil curry with cauliflower rice in the Thermomix
I really struggled with this recipe. Not with cooking it or eating it, but trying to make it look pretty so I could get a good photo of it to show you all. I’m not sure I did it any justice, but it was the best I could get. It’s just one of those ‘ugly […] Read more…
Bacon and broccoli frittata
It’s Thursday today so at least we’re over the hump, but I still seem to be running around like a headless chook. I actually went for a proper run this morning and ran a whole 4km. I am dead set impressed with myself, although I quite easily curl up and go for a nap now. […] Read more…
