Krispy Fried Chicken seasoning

This is a take on the famous KFC secret blend of herbs and spices. Whilst I don’t think it tastes exactly like the original it is very close and is loved by all the family.

I keep a batch of this seasoning in the pantry for times when I can’t decide what to do with the chicken I have or I want something quick and easy that I can chuck in the oven. It’s great served with some homemade chips and a side salad, or equally as nice with some steamed veg on the side.

My family like it using chicken thigh but you can use chicken breast fillets as well. I coat the chicken with the seasoning, dip in beaten egg and then another coat of the seasoning. Place on one our baking mats and place in oven for around 20-30 mins until cooked. There is no need to spray or coat with oil. You could cook in a air fryer instead. I

The recipe makes a large batch, enough for 3-4 meals, and lasts in the pantry for months.

Ham and broccoli pasta bake

Do you still have Christmas ham that needs using up (or any protein/vegetables)?

I followed the recipe as written but you could sub any cooked protein and any vegetables that you have and it would still be delicious. Leftover bbq chicken or Christmas turkey would be great too.

It does take around an hour but most of that is the Thermomix® working for you so you’re free to do other stuff.

Fried Rice

Change of plans for dinner tonight and ended up cooking the Fried Rice from her THM Dinners cookbook.

This recipe makes heaps. I could barely fit it all in the thermoserver. It fed my family of 4 and I have enough leftover for lunches for the next few days.

It utilises the Varoma® and uses all the levels in the Thermomix®. Layering with the Thermomix® is great for not only cooking all in one dishes, but for bulking out a meal with extra veg or protein.

Are you skeptical about how to feed a crowd or large family using the Thermomix®? Are you using your Varoma®? One of the reasons I became a consultant was because I love doing demos and showing people how to use their Thermomix® to it’s full potential. If you would like to learn more about what the Thermomix® can do (either in person or virtual) please reach out, I’d love to show you. The more demos you have the more you learn, regardless of whether you are a Thermomix® owner or not, or which model you have.

Dips

Dips are so easy to make in the Thermomix®. They make heaps and cost very little, so a great money saver. For less than $5 I can make 2-3 times the amount that I would get for that price at the supermarket.

The main reason I like to make my dips though is knowing exactly what’s in them. Have you ever looked at exactly what’s in the dips you are buying?

Plus I can whip one up in just seconds and usually have all the ingredients in my pantry/fridge. Great for this time of the year when you need to take a plate and the shops are a nightmare.

Steamed Greens with Lemon Feta

Want a side dish to impress on Christmas Day or just a bit bored with your standard greens?

Give this recipe from Cookidoo® a try? It’s become my go to greens dish for Christmas the last few years.

(sorry I couldn't find the photo on my phone but I've taken multiples 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ )

Skinnymixers Raw Spiced Rum Balls🤤

I finally found time to finish this recipe that I started 2 days ago. I had great intentions but then life got busy🤦‍♀️

It starts with soaking the dates and sultanas in a spiced rum for an hour and I figured 48 hours soaking couldn’t do any harm.

The actual hands on time is less than 10 mins as you throw all the ingredients in the Thermomix® and mix together for 15 secs. The recipe says to scrape down the sides of bowl and mix again for another 15 secs but I inadvertently mixed the first time for 20 secs and that’s all it needed. You then roll into balls and cover in coconut. I love a quick easy recipe.

Apparently it’s best to refrigerate at least overnight before eating as the flavour really develops. Mmmm I think that’s going to be a tough one😎

You can substitute the rum for extra orange juice or another alcohol. The recipe recommends using Kraken (or a vanilla based rum) but I only had salted caramel rum so used that and they still taste great.

These are so moreish and would make a great Christmas gift or plate to take to a Christmas party

Last week I asked you all what was the one thing you hate about cooking. I wasn’t at all surprised that over 95% of you said deciding what to cook. I get it, the struggle is real and I totally understand that trying to come up with something each day is a massive pain.

Did you know that Cookidoo® has over 90,000 (and constantly increasing) recipes from around the world and takes deciding what to cook, meal planning and grocery shopping to a whole new level.

If you haven’t had a Cookidoo® demo yet, you need to. I’d love to show you everything this app can do and how it can help you in the kitchen.

Tonight’s dinner - Chicken rice paper rolls.

(Excuse the bad rolling and photography - I need to work on both of these 😔)

I don’t follow a recipe, but do use the Thermomix® to help with the prep. There are a few recipes on Cookidoo® if you need one.

The chicken is cooked and shredded in the Thermomix® and the vermicelli noodles are cooked in the thermoserver. I also use the Thermomix® to mix the sauce ingredients together to get a nice smooth consistency in a few seconds.

What did you have for dinner tonight? Did you use your Thermomix® to cook the whole meal or just elements of it? Or do you need to get one on your bench and make a difference to your life?

🚨Important Announcement🚨

You have probably seen from my post a few weeks ago and socials that there is a price rise coming.

Vorwerk and Thermomix® in Australia are not immune to the significant cost increases of recent years and have absorbed these for some time but it’s now appropriate to reflect these increased cost of goods, production and logistics in the TM6 pricing. The TM6 represents Europe’s finest design, technology and manufacturing. That quality is captured in the price of the smart connected TM6 and continues to reflect exceptional value.

We understand that a price increase might not be the news you were hoping for, especially now, but we wanted to inform you, so you have the opportunity to purchase your TM6 before the price increase

What we know is the price will increase to $2579 & will likely commence from 3rd July.

Your TM6 is a valuable investment and can actually save you money. Did you know that the average family of 4 wastes around $50 per week of food.? That’s $2600 a year (yep more than the cost of your Thermomix®).

If you would like to see what the TM6 can do and how it can help you, want more info or ready to order, DM me.

HOMEMADE YOGHURT 🥣

Look how thick my homemade yoghurt is.

I’ve been making my own yoghurt for 8 years and it still amazes me at how easy and cheap yoghurt is to make and with so few ingredients. Did you know you can make it with as little as 2 ingredients for under $2 per litre?

It saves me around $17 per week and I love that there is no hidden sugars, artificial flavours or preservatives. I love knowing exactly what’s in the food I’m eating.

How much are you spending on yoghurt each week? Have you looked at the label to see exactly what’s in it?

BAKED CHICKEN PIZZAIOLA

This is an updated version of the Chicken Breast Pizzaiola recipe. It has sliced potatoes on the base (you can slice these up in about 10 seconds with the cutter attachment). I didn’t steam the broccoli and serve on the side, I added it to the dish under the chicken and sauce and baked it all in the oven. I also halved the amount of cheese on top (and still had plenty) and used tasty cheese not Edam as that’s what I had in the fridge.

I also made a vegetarian option using portobello mushrooms layered whole over the potatoes instead of the chicken.

I highly recommend you add this recipe to your meal plan or list to try. It’s delicious 🤤

RED LENTIL & VEGETABLE SOUP

This soup has been on high rotation in my house over the last few months.

It’s a nice thick hearty soup, perfect for these cold Melbourne days when you want something a bit more filling. Plus it’s so simple to make. It’s pretty much chuck it all in and leave it to cook for 35mins while you go do something else. My favourite style of cooking as I don’t have a lot of time to be standing in the kitchen prepping / cooking meals.

It’s on the Recipe Community, not Cookidoo® but you can add it to your created recipes so you have guided cooking on the TM6. If you’re not sure how to do this message me.

Love my poached eggs on a Sunday morning.

This was something I would go to a cafe for as I struggled to cook the perfect poached eggs, but thanks to my Thermomix® they are perfect every time 🤤
