Menu Plan Monday - 12th July

The school holidays are just about over here, except for two more days for the local show... it's going to be a busy week again.  I'll be cooking at the Atherton Show with some fellow Thermomix consultants, demonstrating the wonderful Thermomix - we always have a lot of fun.  So if you're there, drop by for some free samples and a chat!

I have a special offer for my readers - Ruby from Menulog (Australia's largest restaurant guide) has offered a 10% discount off your first delivery order!  You can enter your postcode and see what restaurants are in your area (they must have an 'accepts voucher' sign), order online using the voucher code 6A4C35, and you will receive 10% off your order - and that's on top of any other specials being offered!  (Order must be $20 or more.)  This offer is available until the 31st of December.  (Unfortunately Menulog hasn't reached the wilds of Far North Queensland yet, but I hope you guys further south will enjoy it!)

Menu planning is a great way to help you keep on top of things when you're busy, but wanting to eat healthy, economical meals.  If you'd like some help with knowing how to plan a menu, here's some of my ideas here, and also make sure you visit Menu Plan Monday at "I'm an Organizing Junkie".  There's lots of great recipes over at the Thermomix Forum, and plenty of Thermomix blogs to inspire you (see links in left sidebar).

Have a great week :)
