Well, I've just been listening to Cyndi O'Meara's teleseminar, and it's all so interesting... I hope you've had the chance to join in and listen and have your nutrition questions answered. Sometimes my friends and family feel I spend too much time in the kitchen, as I cook most things from 'scratch', but after hearing Cyndi's insights into the food industry, and what they are doing to our food, I'm even more motivated to make as much as possible myself, from wholesome ingredients. I don't know about you, but I like to know what's in my food, and if the ingredients listed on the packet can't be bought at the grocery store, or made in my kitchen, then they're probably not worth eating! And then there's all the ingredients that aren't listed... scary stuff!
I hope you all had a great family day yesterday for Father's Day, and all you dads got lots of attention! My dh got plenty, and enjoyed it thoroughly. I made blender-batter waffles with strawberries and maple syrup for breakfast (photo above), the kids made him a t-shirt that says, "Best Dad Ever" with drawings of themselves on it, he got some dark chocolate (which he kindly shared with us!) and we celebrated with homemade ice-cream sundaes in the afternoon. Yum! He'd been craving a chocolate sundae for weeks, and finally gave in to his craving and stopped by Macas after work to buy one (the bad boy!), only to be told the machine was out of order! Lol! So we took pity on him and made our own. (Much better anyway!)
This week is again going to be simple - got so much more packing and sorting to do. My oven's run out of gas, and we can't get any til Friday, so all the bread will be steamed in the Thermomix, plus tortillas cooked in the electric frypan. If you'd like some recipe ideas and menu planning ideas, go to Menu Plan Monday at "I'm an Organizing Junkie". And if you are a fellow Thermomixer, or interested in this amazing machine that makes healthy cooking so much easier, visit the Thermomix forum for lots of ideas and information.
Have a great week!
