What are you been cooking today

[K Atie]

Thank you everyone, any suggestions are great . I will adjust for awhile but might have eggs a few times a week as I love them or have them at lunchtime instead so I get the steel oats in everyday!

Katie I have porridge every morning for breakfast it's been one of the few things that I could eat without any problem.  I have even had it for dinner when nothing else would stay down.
I like my eggs poached and very runny.  DH thinks they look disgusting.

Yesterday I made some Chow Mein using chicken mince that I had bought for sausage rolls then realised that I had I had sausage rolls in the freezer.

Today I am making filling and sauce for cannelloni although the filling looks a bit thin so might make it into lasagne.

I made another Thermomumma giant loaf today. Also some Peanut Butter biscuits, which are delicious.

Made mashed potato in 7 and coleslaw by hand, to go with schnitzels. A copy KFC meal.

A box of mixed fruit and veggies delivered from Wilson’s will arrive today. I add a few more things to the order. ( KAtie, no choc coated raspberries ) trying to stay away from the Supermarkets. The box is $40 and with extras , about $80. and lasts about 2 weeks. Anything I don’t  ( can’t) eat I cook up for the GC when they come for dinner. Example, potatoes and bananas because of the potassium. A quick trip to the Supermarket usually costs me about $100 a week. I still need additional things but don’t go often.

Over the last couple of days I have made Chicken and vegetable casserole, Lasagne, Bolognaise sauce, Leek and Potato soup and a loaf of bread in the bread maker.  I now have fruit soaking in sherry for a fruit cake.

Mab, how are you going with the bread machine? 
Yesterday I played with the Varoma on the 7. I used the steaming function. I placed some  cooked Beef in stout in a small glass dish and covered it. I surround it with carrot, Cauli, zucchini and a small potato, cut in half. Steamed for 20 minutes. A very convenient meal.

I’ve had to get back into cooking and preparing food since being away, getting low in pre-cooked meals. Made 15 tuna mornay pies, pumpkin soup, batch of porridge to last 3 days and put together a batch of Greek yoghurt with seeds, nuts and topped with pureed pawpaw (they had little pots of this on the breakfast buffet during our recent stay in Cairns). Have just frozen Gert’s Thai Fish Cakes https://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4714.0 (uncooked, for Sat night’s dinner). Love buffet meals as I get to try all sorts of things to find out if I can eat them, gradually increasing my options this way.

Chookie my breadmaking the the bread machine has been hit and miss.  A few days ago  I put all the ingredients in the bowl and had forgotten to put the blade in.  I had to tip it all out put the blade in then the ingredients but not in order.  It was a very nice loaf of bread.  Yesterday I remembered the blade and measured everything carefully and the bread was very heavy and didn't rise much.  DS liked it DH said he didn't want any more of it. I will not give up

This morning I made the fruit cake for our eldest DS's birthday tomorrow and this was successful.  This afternoon I made tuna patties for GS and then used some of the left over mixture to make samosa in a machine I had bought from KMart. I don't think the machine got hot enough so I finished cooking them in the oven.

Chookie those naughty raspberries coated in chocolate are in the freezer section! Everyone has been very busy cooking. DH is hanging around in the mornings ( think he likes the porridge I make , he does his own most mornings in the microwave!) .

I made a heavy, seeded loaf today. It has rye wholemeal flour as well as wholemeal flour. It’s very tasty.

Mab, I still have flops with the bread machine. I’ve forgotten to add the yeast and some recipes don’t have enough water or too much. While it’s doing its first kneed I now look and remedy the mix that doesn’t seem right.
Judy, what a great cook up. One of the best things about eating out is trying new things.
I turned the leftover risotto into patties.

Chookie the kids were over earlier this week and it was DD’s birthday so we were able to get our little family together, a rare occurrence. She did a Costco party and I got to test out a few more items, a cauli based pizza and chicken fajitas now on my cooking list. With the help of a bottle of water I even got a small spare rib to go down. Food does interest me now after all this time.
Today I made your quiche to share with DF.
