Simplifying with Thermomix

Today I chopped and mixed my falafel.  I rinsed out the bowl and continued on to make our favorite oatmeal breafast cookies.  I weighed and blened the batter in my Thermomomix.  How many times do I use my Thermomix every day?  I use it all the time. Even if I used it less, it would still be essential.

My Mother’s Day Meal: simple and fresh

Boys got me this beautiful artichoke flower at the market.  Fresh market berries and homemade Thermomix coconut milk with Mother's Day breakfast

Boys chose favorite, seasonal market veggies to include for my special lunch

All freshly grilled and Thermomix steamed for me today

Real, homemade food is always a good thing.  Some sobremesa to follow outside on the patio :))))

Scrumptious Saturdays

So many possibilities.  Meals are based on fresh ingredients.  Thermomix helps turn all this into delicious, homemade dishes with ease. 5 minute rainbow salad and purple slaw this week for sure.

These cucs will last 2-3 days in our house.  Boys love cucumbers so much that "pepisi/pepino" was a first word for one of them.

Little Brother will have all these himself

Citrus mixed in with new seasonal finds

Our Canadian Fluf organic bags go everywhere with us. They are so easy to wash.

Our Favorite Baked Falafel

Family favorite baked falafel 
My dearest childhood friend shared this recipe with me

Blend everything in TM:

1 cup sprouted rolled oats oatmeal 

1/3 cup apple sauce 

Half an onion 

One can of garbanzo beans 

One bunch of parsley 

One bunch cilantro 

One tsp lemon juice

One tsp sea salt

A little tumeric 

A little coriander 

One tsp cumin

Put all the ingredients in TM and blend until smooth. Spoon into mini muffin tins to make 24 falafel. Pour about half a table spoon of olive oil onto each falafel. Bake for 25 minutes at 375. 

Rinse and make 5 min rainbow salad in Thermomix or any other salad

Teatime Today: Matcha Latte

Outside after drop-on a beautiful, spring morning. The fragrance of jasmine surrounds this lovely daily indulgence. When taken to go for the early morning trip to school, a nose can become spotted with green sips from the travel mug.

375 grams homemade almond milk with cinnamon, matcha and collagen
4 minutes, 80 degrees c, speed 4

Thermomix is my café!

Hot today, maybe with ice and a date tomorrow.  The weather will dictate.

Sourdough bread from Angela's Oven

Allergic Mom occasionally eats gluten.  When she does she enjoys the sourdough from Angela's Oven. It is free of both yeast and sugar.  A call on Friday to the bakery allows for the bread to be available at the farmers market sliced.  Slicing wheat bread at home is something no longer done as it generates all kinds of allergen contamination stress. 

Butternut Squash Soup

Guided cooking with Thermomix allows for the easiest and most delicious soups. 
Like this butternut apple soup. Feel free to add in spices and flavors according to your palate’s needs. 
 This soup is a beautiful example of the flavor punch of the Thermomix homemade veggie stock paste.

 Imagine weighing, chopping, sautéing and blending all in one bowl. Did I mention that Thermomix self-cleans?!

 I happen to get my veggies at the farmers market so besides the ease of preparation and clean-up, I have full control of what goes in my food. 

And you could even steam some eggs or chicken in the Varoma to utilize the steam from cooking the soup
