Hi everyone, my name is Monica, I am a stay at home mum of four. DD is 5 and has just started full time school, DS is 3 and my boy girl twins just turned one ;D. Life is loud crazy and lots of fun (most of the time!) at our place.
I have had my tmx for a couple of years now I think? It's hard to remember life pre TMX really . I use it almost every day, but I have never really had good results cooking meat in the tmx so I will be looking for some pointers there. But I love it for everything else. It was definitely great for quick meals when the babies were smaller, I could put dinner on then sit down while it cooked and feed the babies, then fed the rest of us!

Hello and welcome you sound like you have a busy house hold

Hi Monicat, welcome to the forum after all this time. You do sound as if you have your hands full with the children but the Thermomix must have been a blessing for feeding the little ones. Check out our main meal recipes and try something that has a lot of reviews - these reviews and subsequent tweaks are very useful for those not keen on using their machine for everything.

You would definitely never describe our house as boring, that's for sure. Lol
Judydawn I like your signature, it seems to be my 5 year olds motto at the moment!

Hello monicat and welcome. There are lots of clever people on this forum with lots of tips. I am sure they can point you in the right direction so you can achieve better meat dishes.

Hello and welcome Monicat :)

Welcome Monicat. You sure are one busy person. Some of the all in one meals may be of interest, also the corned beef in the Varoma. And there is always Spaghetti. Bol.

Welcome to the forum Monica, I wish I had had a TMX when mine lot were young what a blessing that would have been, sadly they probably weren't invented way back then, have you tried steaming a roast of beef in the varoma and making a yummy gravy in the bowl, I was really surprised at that it was so moist.

Hello and Welcome Monica - from another mum of (nearly) 4!!! ;D

Welcome to the forum Monica. You certainly sound busy. What sort of food do the children like to eat? Some of the chicken recipes on here are extremely nice.

Hi and welcome to the forum. I cook a lot of chicken dishes in the TM not overly fussed on meat meals cooked in the TM.

Hmmm lets see, air??? Lol. They do eat really but it just varies so much, something I think they'll love they barely touch. Sometimes they won't eat the meal on the first night but will devour it the next night. Today I made lasagna thinking they would love it, DD had a few mouthfuls, I think DS had one ?? Kids, who knows I stopped trying to understand them years ago Hehe.
The last thing I made with chicken was some chicken nuggets where I just blitzed up some bread and a few herbs in the TMX and coated the chicken pieces in oil then in the bread mix and they loved those.

Hi amd welcome monicat
I have found with meat to not break it up too much especially mince and never cook it more than 8 mins so i adjust recipes to just add the meat in last :)
