Hi All I have purchased my thermomix in november but only recently got it back as the scales were not working and now want to use it all the time, must admit feeling a little nervous but am sure i will get the hang of it.  I was wondering if anyone could PM me some lunch box receipes I have two teenage girls and they eat all the time and now that i can make mine from scratch just wanted some help.  I am doing my fortnightly shop and normally buy those crunchy nut bars etc but now have decided to make my own... will i succeed Yeeek i will see... anyways love my thermomix its awesommmmme...chat soon

Hi PP, welcome to the forum.  There are some good recipes in the Babies & Kids section (3 pages to browse) http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?board=16.0.  Suitable for adults, why should only kids have all the good stuff ;) ;)
Have a browse, check out the reviews and have a go. It won't be long and you will be as confident as the rest of us.

Hi PP welcome to the forum

I've got 3 boys - the oldest is 9 - and love making stuff from scratch for them.  They're pretty skinny so I do a lot of biscuits and cakes in my TM but its so nice to know they're scoffing all this stuff that's not full of salts or trans fats and rubbish.   ;D
