Vicki Tonner from Boiled Eggs and Soldiers (yes that’s a blog name!) is so much fun! I had the pleasure of meeting her recently at ProBlogger, a blogging conference that was an absolute hoot. (But I digress!)

British born, Australilan grown and recently moved from Sydney to Townsville. Vicki is the mother to two beautiful funny girls and after deciding to leave the corporate world and give being a SAHM a go...now she spends a LOT of time in the kitchen, (and laundry), drinking coffee and tea (and she now needs an introduction to Crio Bru I’m thinking!), pretending to exercise while she picks up, drops off kids or hangs out at the beach. Its a tough life, but someone has to do it.

Her blog is a food blog, giving simple, mostly healthy and nutritious, but more importantly quick and easy home cooked, menu planned recipes that the entire family will enjoy and of course, she has also joined the Thermomix cult. (Plus there are lots of cakes...lots of cakes!!)

Head on over to visit her on Facebook or Instagram and of course the blog...you’ll never have to ask, ‘What’s for Dinner? again.

Thanks Vicki...I still love my boiled eggs and soldiers.

Need

  • Chia Pudding
  • 1 Cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/4 Cup Chia Seeds
  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla powder or vanilla extract
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Fruit Smoothie
  • 1 banana, peeled & chopped
  • 60 Grams fresh or frozen raspberries
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 175 Grams Greek yoghurt
  • 25 Grams honey
  • 2 ice cubes

Do

1  

To make the Chia Pudding, pour milk into a medium sized bowl. Add chia seeds and stir well.

2  

Add vanilla, honey and cinnamon, and stir for a couple of minutes to make sure everything is mixed through.

3  

Allow the pudding to sit for about 5 minutes, so the chia seeds start the swelling process.

4  

Pour mixture evenly into three, 3/4–1C capacity jars, (each jar will end up with about 1/2C of the chia mixture once it has swollen and set). Allow jars to sit several hours or overnight in the fridge before topping with the fruit smoothie.

5  

To make the Fruit Smoothie, add all ingredients into Thermomix bowl and blend 1 min/speed 7-8. Pour smoothie over the top of the set chia pudding.

6  

To serve, top with some granola and more berries take a photo, Instagram it, ha ha and then mix it all together and eat!

British born, Australian grown, recently moved from Sydney to Townsville! Now in my early 40’s, married and mother to two beautiful, funny, fiesty little girls. A couple of years ago I decided to leave behind the corporate world and give being a stay at home Mum a go (but that is another story for a different day). I now spend A LOT of time in the kitchen when I’m not sorting laundry, drinking coffee or tea, mainly tea, pretending to exercise, dropping off, picking up or hanging out at the beach. Boiled Eggs and Soldiers is an idea I’ve had bubbling away for a few years now. Deciding what’s for dinner each night can be tedious (yes?) so I thought that I could help take some of the pain out of the mundane by creating Boiled Eggs & Soldiers as a service to you. Basically, it’s a food blog, giving simple, mostly healthy, mostly nutritious and most importantly quick and easy home cooked, menu plan and recipe ideas that the whole family can enjoy. Most of the dinner recipes can be made in around 30 minutes. There are also some special occasion ideas, seasonal cooking, quite a lot of gluten free recipes, timesaving tips, lunch box suggestions and, because I have joined the cult, Thermomix recipes as well. Also, cakes, lots of cakes. But, as life is not all about cooking, there’s a bit of chat too! I do spend a lot of time in the kitchen, I enjoy it, for me cooking is an expression of love. I am by no means a chef, enthusiastic home cook at best! I have as many fails as I do wins and am learning every day. Everything that appears on Boiled Eggs and Soldiers has either been created or adapted by me or I have scoured through blogs, websites, recipe books (another pastime) and asked friends to bring to you tried and tested favourites. Now you can have the answer to that question….“What’s for dinner tonight?”. Each Sunday to Wednesday I co-host “Your Weekly Feed” a link up for easy & tasty dinner ideas and a place to visit for planning your weeks meals. Oh, and the name “Boiled Eggs & Soliders”? Well, it’s a family favourite (although at the moment one child will only eat yolk and the other only the white!) and by Sunday night that’s all we can be bothered making!
