I made Shepherds Pie. Made mince in the TM, then chopped all veges in TM and cooked in an oven pan (too much for poor thermy) and then made mash in TM (left skin on for a change and to add some nutrients - was okay).

Thanks KJH ! but the second time I made them i wasn't overly happy with how they turned out! I think I should have made them with the basic bread dough? Anyways, I tried some pullapart bread today with the basic bread dough plus the cashew and capsicum dip (both EDC) and was happy with how they turned out. The only thing I changed was left out parmesan cheese from dip (coz I didn't have any  ) and halved the amount of oil and vinegar so the mix wasn't too wet

Thanks Judy. Chookie - thanks for the recipe and yes, getting the veges at just the right size is a skill !! I am still working on it, but better than my first attempt where it was a little slushy!! hehe
Thinking of all in Japan too.... positive thoughts xx
Today we did our normal green smoothie for afternoon tea (DD- 9 makes this!) and for dinner, buckwheat pasta with veges (variation on the pasta with tuna in EDC)

Today was a quiet day on the TM.
Cada for breakfast (could eat this all day long) - I add cinnamon and chia seeds. (Vegetarian Cookbook)
Capsicum and SD tomato dip (EDC) for a friend who took my kids to the movies (although I kept some for myself and hubby!!)
Made pork mince and chopped up veges to use in a chow mein. Haven't done the whole chow mein in the TM yet, maybe I should hunt for a recipe.

Balsamic Tomato Lamb
1 leg of lamb, well trimmed of any fat
1/2 cup of semi dried tomatoes (97% fat free ones, from the deli)
3-4 cloves of garlic
1-2 tablespoons of balsamic glaze
Whizz up all the stuff except the lamb in the thermy until a rough paste is formed. You could add any fresh herbs like basil or parsley to the mix as well. Cut a few slits all over the lamb and then proceed to give it a good massage with the paste, poking as much paste into the holes as you can. Add about 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of your slow cooker. Add the lamb and all the paste. Cook until the lamb is falling off the bone ~ about 6-8 hours on low. The paste and water will combine with the lamb juices to make a delicious jus. Rest the lamb before carving and eating. Serve on top of some couscous with a spinach salad on the side. It also tastes great the next day with spinach, beetroot and tzatziki in a wrap.

All great ideas ! Stickers, balloons, little erasers/pencils (try Smiggle), key rings are all cheap options you can put in a lolly bag. I have also purchased small wooden toys such as flutes, spinning tops, castanets etc from the markets. For four year olds, I like the idea of playdough - you can make it in your thermomix and pop it in a cute little container. You can add in some aromatherapy oils for something a bit different too. Depends if you are having a theme too on what you could use. Most kids these days to expect 'something' to take home at the end of a party. For food, you could make some of the 'treat balls' or some small cookies, cut out into shapes. I sometimes use just plain paper bags that the kids have decorated for lolly bags too ! Have fun !

I love the all - in - one meals ! My faves so far are from the EDC (well, I do variations) - risotto, pasta with tuna, creamy salami fettucine. I have also enjoyed a honey chicken recipe on here. Sorry, not sure how to do postings and links. Looking forward to some more recipes though!!

Yes, I had to go to the health food store. I got a big 5kgbag of organic wheat grains - brand - Kialla Pure Foods. They also had smaller 500g store brand bags. This was a "Healthy Life" franchise in QLD, Australia.

JO - I love beetroot cake ! I have a recipe for a red wine, beetroot and chocolate cake from Zoe Bingley-Pullan who writes health cookbooks - it was sensational! haven't converted it to TM yet, but I must dig it out and try it ....
