Day 2!

Very excited thinking about all the things to make today!

Started the day with porridge, but that recipe needs some tweaking. I think I need to blitz the oats first.

Then Nigella Lawson Choc Banana muffins from thermomix forum. These were sensational. Best muffins I have ever been able to make. I only had choc melts, so blitzed then first for a few seconds (took 2 attempts, the first made chocolate sprinkles, not choc chips!)

Apricot chicken Risotto style (EDC) was next, this meal has been frozen for a mid week dinner. Tasted good before it was frozen, will have to see how it defrosts.

Bolognaise (EDC) next, which I used to make lasagne, again for freezing.

I had a whole heap of parsley left over from the vegetable stock, so I pureed this and placed it in some ice trays.

For dinner we had the creamy fettucine with salami (EDC). So easy, so tasty. E ate it, the boys not so keen, but pasta has always been a hard sell to them. Otherwise it was fantastic. One pot dinner, done in 20 minutes with minimal fuss and effort. Love it.

Once kids went to bed, I used the earlier choc sprinkles to make hot chocolate. 5 minutes, 500g milk, 60g chocolate. Best hot chocolate ever!

Impressions so far is that this is going to be awesome! I am not convinced of the self cleaning function yet, perhaps I need a little more time to work it out. I have still had to give it a scrub between meals. More practice time tomorrow!!

  1. Nice idea with the blog, Vee :) .

    I find porridge works for us with a 1:2 oat:water (or milk) ratio with a pinch of salt cooked at reverse speed 3 90 degrees :) .
