Thermomix Menu Plans - 25th June

Hi everyone! How did your week go? I hope you had plenty of Thermomixing successes! Well this week is going to start with a bang for me... My oldest boy just turned 13 today, (I now have two teenagers - aaaargh!! How did I get this old??), and he's celebrating by inviting all his friends over to have a gigantic Nerf war tomorrow! Help...

I get to cook for the hungry soldiers. Yay. Party food for lots of hungry boys when you're a dairy free, wheat free, sugar free household can be challenging... but I can do it. Okay, I did give in and buy one bag of Freddo Frogs and some plain chips for the dip, but the rest is homemade and healthy. (See menu below for details)

As well as all the party cooking tomorrow, I've got to cook for an International dinner we're having tomorrow night to celebrate the launch of Thermofest, plus dinner for the kids at home. So it'll be a big cooking day. Good thing I have a Thermomix (or two)! (And may I just mention here, our next Thermofest destination is very exciting! This year, Hawaii - next year...??? Can't wait!)

Felicity, Kelly & Me - Thermofest Hawaii!

So getting back to food - here's some dishes we enjoyed in the past week...

Beef fajitas with spelt tortillas and dairy free 'sour cream' and guacamole...

(one of my favourite meals!)

Dairy Free Cream Cheese

Dairy Free French Onion Dip...

...which is made with these yummy Thermomix caramelised onions...

One of my favourite soups - Coconut Lemon Chicken Soup

And last, but definitely not least, these delicious Sticky Pecan Muffins!

(You've got to try them!!!)
