Last week I was so busy, I didn't get any recipes posted! I've got a real line up waiting to be added to the blog - 'Almost Raw' Chocolate, Chicken & Cashews with Coconut Cream Sauce, Spicy Chicken & Vege Sausage Rolls, Christmas Waldorf Salad, How to Make Three Meals from One Chicken, Calzone, Spelt Fruit Bread, Dairy Free Cheesy Seasoning... Phew, better get typing! If you see one in this list that you really want the recipe for, let me know, and I'll put it at the top of the list. (Most of you are probably saying, "the chocolate!!!")
Our camping trip didn't go quite as planned, as one of the kids was coughing too much, so we didn't stay the night :( But we still had a lovely day at the lake, and pretended we were camping - we had potatoes baked in foil in the ashes for lunch, and camp-fire stew for dinner, cooked in the camp oven. Yum!

Keeping the stew hot 'til dinner time!
The highlight of the week was the big Thermomix day in Cairns! It was so lovely to meet other consultants from North Queensland, and especially to meet Grace again (the director of Thermomix Australia), and Uwe and Roswetta (Uwe is in charge of Thermomix sales, worldwide)... We cooked and talked and were inspired and encouraged, then we held a cooking class to inspire and encourage others :) Then we went out for dinner and stayed up half the night chatting :D This has got to be the best job ever!

Did anyone see the Thermomix on Iron Chef again last Tuesday night? I missed it - had to go out - but I heard it was good... It's great to see the Thermomix getting more media attention these days - as it should!
So what's on your menu this week? I've mostly got old favourites, but I'm trying a few more gluten free versions this week, as my son has had to go gluten and dairy free because of allergies (at least for a while). I really wanted to try gluten free rough puff pastry today, but just didn't get time. Hoping to try gf pizza dough for the calzone later in the week - we'll see how that goes.
