Thermomix Menu Plans - 11th June



Hi everyone, how's the menu planning going? I seem to be getting lots of messages lately from busy mums telling me how much menu planning is helping them regain some sanity! That's great - I know it really helps me to have a basic plan of what I'm going to cook each day. Coming home at the end of a long day THEN trying to decide what to have for dinner usually ends up in frustration and take-aways, in my experience. So do your family a favour and plan this week's meals! :)



I updated a few recipes on my blog this week, and I must tell you to try the Smoked Salmon & Sweet Potato Soup! (above) It's so much more delicious with orange sweet potato than regular potato. It's definitely soup weather, and I'm sneaking soup onto the menu at lunch times a lot - I love soup.

I've also updated my gluten free, dairy free Croquembouche recipe - now I just need to make one to get a better photo... I did try, but I ran out of time and all the profiteroles and chocolate pastry cream (photo below) got eaten. Maybe this week I'll try again. I have a baby shower to go to, so that would be something fun to take!



Last week I posted the recipe for my gluten free, egg free Chia, Buckwheat & Quinoa Bread, which I'm loving. Yesterday I worked on making a soaked version, for better digestibility, and it worked really well, so I'll be adding that variation to the recipe today. I'm trying to get back into soaking my seeds, nuts and grains before using them, as it's much healthier... just takes a bit more planning ahead and sometimes I get so busy I forget. The next step is to start fermenting veges again...



This week I'll hopefully get my recipe for Fish Pie with Cauliflower Mash (above) posted, as I've had a few people ask about it. We're eating a lot of fish lately in an effort to increase the Omega 3's in our diet, so I bought a 10kg box of King Salmon from a local fisherman, which works out heaps cheaper than buying it at the shop. I'm working on getting more creative with my fish recipes, as I tend to just pan fry it and that gets a bit dull after a while. If you have any amazing fish recipes, let me know!

For those of you in Far North Queensland, you need to check out the Real Food Network, which is where I get my awesome Community Supported Agriculture food boxes. They are running a survey/competition and you can WIN $500 worth of local, mostly organic fruit and veges. There are also 2nd and 3rd prizes, and everyone who takes the survey will get $10 off their next food box! So pop over there and fill in the online survey before the 29th of June. Let's support our local farmers and buy local.


My basic menu plan for this week is below. I'll be posting some breakfast and lunch ideas on Facebook as usual, and just planning a few of those ahead, as they depend on what leftovers we have, what veges come in my CSA box, etc. If you need some inspiration for your menu planning, check out the Thermomix Recipe Community, the blogs linked up below, this Thermomix Menu Planning Facebook group, or just google Thermomix + whatever ingredient you want to use, and you'll most likely come up with a recipe! I love the amazing variety of Thermomix recipes and hints and tips that are on the internet these days. I love all the cookbooks too. I'm impatiently waiting for my copy of "Devil of a Cookbook" to arrive, hopefully this week...
