Happy Baking,

Here are the recipes and links to last night's treats for the week. Excuse any mistakes but I am at the gym!!
Milo muffins- Thermomix Recipe Community -
Simple recipe. Put all the ingredients in and mix. 20 seconds! I didn't add the extra choc chips as the mixture is very sweet.
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/baking-sweet-recipes/milo-muffins/93569
30 second Orange cake - Thermomix Recipe Community -
I made these into cupcakes and a loaf bar cake. It makes heaps.
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/baking-sweet-recipes/30-second-whole-orange-cake/45622
Oatmeal Choc biscuits - Bill Granger - Via Absolute Amy's website or Bill Granger Cooks for Kids Cook Book.
I creamed the butter and sugar on speed 4 for 25 seconds, then added the remainder of the ingredients on reverse , speed 4 until all combined.
http://absoluteamy.com/2013/06/25/bill-grangers-choc-oatmeal-cookies/
Muesli Slice - Hello Little House Recipe
I pressed this recipe into the mini muffin trays. I also waited for then to cool completely before removing them. No nuts too! I melted the butter and sugar on 60 degrees, speed 2 for 1 1/2 mins, then added all of the ingredients. For the seeds, I used pepitas, linseeds and sunflowers. Mixed on reverse speed 4 until combined.
http://hellolittlehouse.com/2013/03/homemade-muesli-slice/
Raw Cacao Bliss Balls - Thermomix Recipe Community -
I made these at a demo yesterday and again for our family last night. Mill the almonds for 20 seconds and add the rest of the ingredients. They are now in the freezer so I can't see them!
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/desserts-sweets-recipes/organic-raw-cacao-bliss-balls/122176
Fairy Shortbread - Easy Toddler Food Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/easytoddlerfood
August 28 post
I found this recipe during the week on fb and took a photo to save it on my phone. I made a slab rather than circle biscuits and used the pizza cutter to make individual squares. If you are after a 3 ingredient shortbread recipe, use this one. Tastes great!
350 g plain flour, 100g icing sugar and 250 g chilled butter. Mix on speed 4 until dough forms and pop in some sprinkles. Turbo until sprinkles are combined. Bake for 12 - 15 min on 160 degrees.
Check out their page as they have heaps of toddler approved food.
Ok, I think that's it! Any questions please email me at mumofthreeandmythermie@gmail.com or send me a message. Super happy to help!
Have a great week!

I visited the farmer's markets again today and stocked up on vegetables. We have had a massive weekend here and haven't eaten very healthily, so I decided to make Quirky Cooking's Chunky Bolognaise. It is an easy Thermie recipe which uses heaps of vegetables and three kids devoured it.
Oh, it also makes heaps! Check out Jo's blog.. http://quirkycooking.blogspot.com.au/
I also grabbed 1 kg of sweet potato at the markets and made a delicious Thai Sweet Potato soup from the Thermomix Recipe Community. This soup is super easy to make and only takes 20 minutes. A full flavoured soup. Yum!

Happy Sunday Night!

I have been defrosting 1 1/2kgs of chicken breast today and ways trying to think of new recipes to experiment with. I come up with 4 dishes but still had chicken left. I then consulted a great Facebook group called 'Thermobexta' and they have a great bunch of people who love to help each other. I posted my dilemma about having a large amount of chicken and I chose the sausage rolls from the list. I am so glad I did! Head over and join the group too.
So, here's what the Thermie and I created tonight. Chicken --- 5 ways!
1. Quirky Cooking Chicken Sausage Rolls -
I used my own puff pastry that I defrosted from the freezer and I didn't add the spicy Indian paste but these are sensational. I have frozen a few rolls for the weekend and I really don't think these cooked ones will make it to the morning. Dip them in soy sauce or sweet chilli sauce and you are set!
http://quirkycooking.blogspot.com.au/2010/11/spicy-chicken-vege-sausage-rolls-with.html
2. Creamy Chicken and Cauliflower Rice Soup - Thermomix Recipe Community -
This is a low carb soup which we all ate for dinner. Packed full of vegetables and thickened by almond meal and cauliflower. It contains no cream and I used my vege stock from the EDC rather than making chicken stock. This is an easy soup recipe with 30 minutes of free cooking time to get the kids organised.
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/soups-recipes/creamy-chicken-cauliflower-rice-soup-low-carb-version-creamy-chicken-brown-rice-soup/106362
3. Popcorn Chicken - Thermomix Recipe Community -
We have this flour spice mix stored in a container ready to crumb chicken. It tastes like the real thing and I baked them tonight rather than frying. They have sadly been eaten.. no leftovers!
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/main-dishes-meat-recipes/popcorn-chicken/144989
4. Steamed Chicken and Vegetables - Using the Thermomix Varoma (steamer)
This is my work lunch tomorrow and I usually make this in the morning as it only takes 20 minutes. I chopped up some cabbage, zucchini and carrots and placed in the Varoma dish and sliced up chicken breast and placed on the tray. There was 1 L of water in the jug and I cooked it for 20 minutes / Varoma temp and speed 3. You can add spices and marinades if you would like to.
5. Shredded Chicken - (not shown)
I used some of the steamed chicken and placed back in the TM bowl on speed 4 for a few seconds to shred. It is now in zip lock bags in the freezer for rolls, wraps and sandwiches. You can add lemon or lime juice and herbs or spices at this step too.
We love chicken here and if you do too, give these recipes a go! I might just whip up a dessert as the kids have gone to sleep and I won't have to share.. Shhhh!
Don't forget, if you have any questions, please email me at mumofthreeandmythermie@gmail.com
Happy hump day!

I have returned from running the City2Surf in Sydney and my body is in recovery mode. Today I made sugar free treats for the boys and I that we can snack on without loading up on sugar. If you would like to cut down or reduce your sugar intake, try these delicious recipes.
Muesli Bars - Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free and Refined Sugar Free
I made these in the silicon muffin trays like the recipe suggested and I have only just taken them out as they needed to set. Super delicious snack and great for the lunch box too as they are nut free!
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/baking-sweet-recipes/museli-bars-gluten-free-dairy-free-nut-free-refined-sugar-free/136513
Sugar Free Chocolate Cookies - Thermomix Recipe Community -
Too easy to make.. Two steps in the Thermie and you can bake these little treasures. The kids loves them as they think they are eating the real thing. Super moist little biscuits.
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/baking-sweet-recipes/sugar-free-chocolate-cookies/149804
Bounty Bars - Wholefood Simply - Gluten Free, Grain Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free and Refined Sugar Free.
This recipe tastes like the original. With simple ingredients, the Thermie whizzes the cashews and coconut and I made the cacao topping in the Thermie too. Super simple recipe.
Hope you can enjoy these snacks too.
Happy Tuesday night!

I have been so happy all day today because I have made my first recipe from the new Quirky Cooking Cookbook. Last night, husband read the entire cook book and decided that he would like Beef Stroganoff with cabbage Noodles for dinner tonight.
So, I quickly popped to the shops this morning, stocked up on some meat and have made the most delicious Beef Stroganoff ever... I will be in the good books tonight! Just as well as I am heading out to dinner with the girls.
This recipe is ridiculously easy and only took 25 mins to make. The meat is super tender like it has been slow cooked for hours and the hint cayenne pepper adds to the dish.
I now have a massive list of my next Quirky Cooking recipes to make.
Here is the link to Quirky Jo's website which also has fantastic dishes to make. You won't be disappointed! http://quirkycooking.blogspot.com.au/
Happy cooking,
Jen X
With only a few hours left of holidays, I have been busy stocking the freezer with lunch box friendly food for the boys.
Today I have made Well Nourished No Nut Slice, Cookie Dough Balls, Healthy Choc-Coconut Slice and Basic Biscuits from The Organised Housewife.
I have personally sampled all items, the kitchen is clean and I am in total denial that I too have to return to work in the morning, Thank goodness there is only 10 more weeks till the next holidays!
Oh, I have made a little special surprise for staffroom bench too for morning tea to get us through the day.
Here are the yummy treat recipe links.
No Nut Slice - Well Nourished -
This is a no bake slice and is best kept in the fridge or freezer but is perfect to make instead of buying muesli bars.
http://wellnourished.com.au/no-bake-nut-free-muesli-bar/
Cookie Dough Balls - Thermomix Recipe Community -
Too quick to make and tastes exactly like cookie dough, these little balls are great.
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/desserts-sweets-recipes/cookie-dough-bites/67037

This is also a no bake slice and firms up easily in the fridge. Medium Poppet loves this chocolate slice!
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/desserts-sweets-recipes/healthy-choc-coconut-slice/148272
Basic Biscuits - The Organised Housewife -
This recipe makes so many biscuits.. I halved the recipe, made 36 biscuits and have a tonne of dough left over in the freezer for another baking day. You can add whatever mix ins you like too.
http://theorganisedhousewife.com.au/recipes/100-cookies-from-1-mix/
Happy Sunday Night!

I am exhausted today after running a half marathon and I can barely move my legs, but I was determined to use my Thermie to use up some vegetables in the fridge and make a yummy dinner for my cheer squad today.
In one hour and 15 minutes with a lot of down time, I made 3 dishes for dinner. I managed to make a Cauliflower, Zucchini and Leek Soup, Easy Pumpkin Soup and a Chicken and Mushroom Risotto. I was able to rest when they were cooking as I didn't need to stir. So thankful for my Thermie today!
I also had to make a fresh batch of vegetable stock that is the secret ingredient in all my Thermie dishes as it is full of flavour and one batch lasts 3 months in the fridge. The boys picked a soup for dinner and had a big bowl of risotto. Made my day :)
Here are the links to the recipes:
Cauliflower, Zucchini and Leek Soup - Thermomix Recipe Community -
This is my favourite soup! http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/soups-recipes/cauliflower-zucchini-leek-soup/95581
Pumpkin Soup - Thermomix Recipe Community -
I left out the chilli for the kids but otherwise this is the easiest pumpkin soup I have ever made.
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/soups-recipes/nadias-punky-soup-pumpkin-soup/158893
Chicken Caesar Risotto - Thermomix Recipe Community -
I substituted the chorizo sausage for bacon and only added the spinach when I served it up. This was delicious!
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/pasta-rice-dishes-recipes/clone-caesar-risotto-chicken-mushroom-and-chorizo/106412
So I have fed the troops, I am off to rest my legs and hopefully be back to normal tomorrow.
Happy Sunday Night!

Yesterday was my big sister's birthday and my present to her was to make some treats for herself and the family while she is away so they don't have to worry about eating take away.
I made a little tray of treats for the girls to take on the plane and beyond and I will make a dinner each night for her husband, my mum and the three kids (Yes, she has 3 kids as well... she just needs a Thermie and we would be twins!!)
The special treats where apricot slice with 3 ingredients, a healthy carrot cake, my favourite vanilla and chia seed cupcakes and apricot and macadamia nut bliss balls. I will post the dinner selection when I've whipped them up!
Here are the links and recipes.
Apricot Slice - Thermomix Recipe Community -This recipe is a copy of the Cut out the Crap Recipe-
Only 3 ingredients, Apricots, coconut and chia seeds. Super delicious, healthy and quick to make.
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/desserts-sweets-recipes/apricot-and-coconut-slice-cotc/160983
Carrot Cake - Well Nourished -
This cake is made with spelt flour, rapadura sugar and orange zest. This makes a very large slice cake or you could turn it into muffins or use a spring form cake tin.
http://wellnourished.com.au/carrot-cake-slice/
Vanilla and Chia Seed Cupcakes - Sistermixin -
This is my go to cupcake recipe now. Too easy and super simple everyday ingredients. I made a batch of chia seed cupcakes for my sister and traveling buddy but I halved the mixture and made choc chip cupcakes for my boys.
http://www.sistermixin.com/recipe-items/vanilla-chia-cupcakes-lemon-icing/
Apricot Bliss Balls - Thermomix Recipe Community -
I substituted the almonds for macadamias and I used cacao powder. Super moist balls that held together really well. You could add protein or other yummy ingredients too.
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/desserts-sweets-recipes/apricot-almond-and-cashew-bliss-balls/157942
Stay tuned for the main meal care parcels too.

Today's Free Food Friday spread to the wider community today as the three cakes were sent in to work, my Husband's work and off to my sister to help celebrate the beginning of our holidays.
It's been a busy term so I thought we would celebrate with 3 cakes that cater for all tastes. On today's menu is a low fat no bake passion fruit cheesecake, Quirky Jo's dairy free and nut free carrot cake and a sticky date cake. Which one would you choose?
Passion Fruit No Bake Cheesecake - Thermomix Recipe Community -
I used skinny condensed milk and extra light cream cheese for cooking to make this cheesecake lower in fat. I also substituted the butter in the biscuit base for coconut oil.
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/desserts-sweets-recipes/passionfruit-cheesecake-no-bake/59270
Quirky Cooking's Dairy Free and Nut Free Carrot Cake -
This make a super moist carrot cake and I added shredded coconut instead of walnuts to also make this cake nut free. The icing is made from coconut cream which after a few minutes in the fridge firms up to add as the topping. The best things about this cake was that it only used 1 bowl and made a very large quantity.
http://quirkycooking.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/one-bowl-thermomix-carrot-cake-gluten.html
Sticky Date Cake - Chef Laurent Caters for Families Cookbook -
This cookbook is available for purchase through your Thermie Consultant. Again, this made a very large cake that could easily be turned into cupcakes, or smaller cakes. The icing is super quick to make in the Thermie too!
Happy Holidays!

The boys received their report cards today so I thought we would celebrate their wonderful achievements with an afternoon treat before soccer training.
The boys feasted on chocolate slice and a chocolate smoothie. These treats are super healthy and the kids were full of energy for training. I may have taste tested a piece of slice too.
Recipes:
Chocolate Slice - Wholefood Simply -
This recipe is great to make in the Thermie and with the powerful blades it made it super quick too. I added double the dates as stated in the recipe and it probably took a good 30 seconds to achieve a moist dough.
This is a diary free recipes as well and I used cacao powder and rice malt syrup.
http://www.wholefoodsimply.com/chocolate-slice/
Choc Banana Smoothie -
2 ripe bananas
1 tablespoon rice malt syrup
20 g cacao powder
1 cup of low fat vanilla yoghurt
1/2 cup almond milk
Blitz on speed 9 for 10 seconds. Delish.
Well done boys,
Jen X
We are almost on holidays so this afternoon the boys and I made a special treat to help us make it to Friday. We baked a yummy chocolate apple cake.
This is a great recipe and Medium Poppet chose all the decorations. He even iced the cake so it looks very professional.
Only minutes to make with simple ingredients and a green butter cream icing on top. The kids are quiet... let's see how long that lasts!
Chocolate Apple Cake
We used cacao powder and rapadura sugar to make it a bit more special.

Happy Hump Day,
Jen X
Today was my only day off this week so I thought I would make good use of the 2 spare hours I had and try and make some lunches and dinners for myself and the family to get us through to the weekend.
On the menu today I cooked Quirky Cooking's Paprika Chicken, Chicken Stroganoff, Ham, Spinach and Zucchini Slice, Salmon and Rocket Loaf and a Vietnamese Winter Soup. Also, I whipped up a simple vanilla custard as I had so many egg yolks left over and this morning before the school run I made a batch of Sistermixin's Vanilla and Chia Seed Cupcakes to take to the park to share with our friends. Yum!
Check out the notes and recipes:
Real Traditional Vanilla Custard Made Easy! - Thermomix Recipe Community -
This was a great way to use up the leftover egg yolks and the Big Guy said that this was my best custard yet! This recipe is definitely going to get a workout.
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/desserts-sweets-recipes/real-traditional-vanilla-custard-made-easy/145693
Vanilla and Chia Cupcakes - Sistermixin -
This is a fantastic cupcake recipe. The cupcakes are light and moist and the kids don't question the chia seeds. I made the butter cream from the Everyday Cook Book and piped them before heading to the park. I may have added sprinkles too!
http://www.sistermixin.com/recipe-items/vanilla-chia-cupcakes-lemon-icing/
Chicken Stroganoff
Although this recipe says fettuccine, you need to make the fettuccine separately so I made the sauce and used the rice from the next dish and served it up. Super multitasking! The kids ate this for dinner tonight and Mighty Toddler ate all of it.
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/pasta-rice-dishes-recipes/fettuccine-chicken-stroganoff/149574
Quirky Cooking's Paprika Chicken
This is a really simple dish to make in the Thermie. An easy meal to make after work as it only takes 25 mins and you have rice, veges, beautiful steamed chicken and a delicious sauce. This won't last long in the fridge.
http://quirkycooking.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/paprika-chicken-with-creamy-paprika.html

With only 5 days to go until the holidays, I restocked the freezer to get us through an exceptionally busy week.
It's an exciting week for me and hopefully I will get to share my news with you later today, but the lunch boxes are stacked this week with No-Nasties Gingernuts (Thanks Robyn for the Coconut Sugar), Super Healthy Banana, Apricot and Date Oat Bars and Apple and Cinnamon Muffins.
I also made No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars for our after school treat as they contain nuts, but if you don't need to worry, make these too!
Here are the links and substitutions.
No-Nasties Gingernuts - Thermomix Recipe Community -
I used coconut sugar and rice malt syrup and these cookies are dangerous. They are almost a fudge consistency when you make them and they turn out very chewy if you leave them for a few minutes after baking in the tray. The recipe makes heaps so definitely one to share. Pop the kettle on Robyn as I will be delivering some to you this morning!
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/baking-sweet-recipes/no-nasties-gingernuts/132392
Apple and Cinnamon Muffins - Thermomix Recipe Community -
The boys always loved the packet variety of these muffins and this recipe makes beautifully light, moist muffins. I added a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar to the top when they were hot and I used apple puree instead of an apple and rice malt syrup. I made 6 muffins in the silicone molds ($2 - for 6 at K Mart) and 2 mini loaves. You could easily double this recipe in the Thermie.
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/baking-sweet-recipes/apple-cinnamon-muffins/161290
Super Healthy Banana, Apricot and Date Oat Bars - Taste.com.au -
I substituted the almonds for linseeds so the boys could take them to school and added the leftover apple puree (about 60 g) to the mixture. I placed all the ingredients in the Thermie and mixed it for 20 seconds on speed 7. Too simple. The recipe states you could have these as breakfast bars too. Not a bad idea if you need to get somewhere in a hurry. That's always me!!
http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/31575/super+healthy+banana+apricot+and+date+oat+bars
No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars - Thermomix Recipe Community -
This slice takes under 10 minutes in the Thermie so it's a quick and easy treat to make. I used rice malt syrup as it was still on the bench and cranberries. You could blitz this recipe for a few seconds on speed 8 after you added all the ingredients if you needed to hide some of the items.
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/desserts-sweets-recipes/no-bake-chocolate-oat-bars/169197
Have a wonderful week,
Jen X
Things don't go to plan very often around here and today was one of those days. While out and about today before heading off to a social gathering, Medium Poppet decided to slam his fingers in the car door.Ouch!
So needless to say we didn't make our plans and everything else fell apart. So after a super fast shop to get dinner supplies, I arrived home at 5:20 pm. We usually eat around 6 pm so I needed to get moving.
We had Chicken Drumsticks (the kid's favourite meal) which were steamed in the Varoma dish. It fitted 1.4 kgs of drumsticks and I seasoned them with Sesame seed oil and Moroccan spices. They took 42 mins to steam.
As I hadn't thought past getting the drumsticks cooking, I made the 3 second Coleslaw and Chocolate Custard from the Everyday Cook Book to make up our meal and dessert. Total cooking time 52 minutes and the kids got to bed on time! Yay!
Hope you are relaxing,
Jen X
