Menu Plan Monday - April 20th

I've been having fun going through all my new Thermomix recipe books - the Varoma book is amazing! You can cook everything from Dim Sims to omelettes, steamed bread to chocolate puddings, meatballs, meatloaf, chilli mussles, garlic prawns... and of course all the steamed veges! Yum! When I get the chance I'm trying out new recipes, and when I'm really busy I'm sticking with the basic quick and easy ones like beetroot salad, bread rolls, soups, mushroom risotto and pasta. If you want any of these recipes, just leave me a note in comments! For more great menu ideas, check out Menu Plan Monday at orgjunkie.com.
