So far, Quirky Jo's chicken and brown rice soup is an absolute winner with the kids. They also love homemade pizzas with TM dough, and the honey mustard chicken that was on here somewhere. I am pretty lucky that my kids are good eaters and will eat most things! Last night we had Tenina's soy marinated pork fillet with quinoa tabbouleh - they weren't too keen on the tabbouleh but at least they gave it a go, but they devoured the pork! Anyone keen to share some family favorites for me to try?

I have had my thermie for a couple of months now and love, love, love it! However I am hoping for some advice. My family is not a fan of any recipes made with mince. They don't like the texture! I haven't found it too bad, but the other day I made a chow mein recipe off one of the forums and even I couldn't stomach it and it ended up being fed to the dog. In fact, the texture of it was very much like dog food. So my question is, is there any way of cooking the mince so that it doesn't end up so fine and is more like it would be on the stove top? I have been using bought mince rather than mincing my own after reading mixed reviews about the mince made in the TM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
