A little afternoon pick me up or something more substantial if you add a big salad and some oven fried chips...Yes please! Dinner is served.

Well, this is a new idea...a guest blogger without a blog! YEP, but Bel does have a heap of recipes over on the Thermomix Recipe Community...so make sure you check her out. Bel is also on Instagram and Facebook (of course)!

SOOO she’s presently 33 and got her first Thermomix way back in 2008 whilst pregnant with her first daughter and then upgraded to the TM5 in 2015. Both machines are used a lot, predominately for preparation, deserts, doughs and basically making time in the kitchen easier. Believe it or not, Bel only tried actual cooking in it this year and has had lots of fun experimenting. Bel also has Crohns Diesease and so the Thermomix allows her to adjust and easily create food that would otherwise cost the earth.

Thanks for this lovely recipe Bel, we hope to see your blog start up soon!

SOOO I'm 33 and got my first Thermomix in 2008 while pregnant with my first daughter and upgraded to the TM5 in April this year. I really love and enjoy cooking, especially entertaining others so my machines are used a lot, predominately for preparation, deserts, doughs and basically making my time in the kitchen easier. I only tried actual cooking in it this year and its been really fun experimenting. I have Crohns Disease and love that I can adjust and easily create food items that would otherwise cost the earth. I have the fussiest 6 year old ever to be born....she is a very finicky eater (unless its chocolate) so I am constantly looking for ways to hide vegetables and goodness into her food, as well as my husband who would die if he had Facebook and saw half the things post haha. My nearly 4 year old is completely opposite and is a mini veggo. Just prior to upgrading, I started my Facebook and Instagram page. I would be posting food pics on my personal page and it was a bit boring for my family and friends! Plus I knew a lot of people that had a Thermomix but didn't really use it much, or hadn't used it in a while and had lost their mojo. So I started sharing recipes that I had tried out from different blogs and cookbooks. I love receiving messages from people saying they are inspired to use their machine again. I became a consultant for a short period of time and although I loved it, I was extremely busy and my health suffered, so I made the decision to stop a few weeks ago. I love grain free recipes and anything that doesn't have 500 ingredients and steps, and half the time will eat something different to what I make the fam :)
