Today at a demo we were talking about all the non-food things you can make in your Thermomix. I came home and made boiled eggs for lunch and sat looking at the eggshells in the basket...then remembered I could grind these up and add them to my garden soil! Apparently my tomatoes are going to love this!!! Another bonus is it gives your bowl a wonderful CLEAN!
6 egg shells
1 MC of water
30 seconds, speed 9
Add water and she'll grit to your plants.
What do you think?
Thermomix veggie stock concentrate....who can argue with the price, only 20c per litre!
{ Money saver!! }
I saw these little 'choc protein balls' selling at Boost Juice yesterday for $2 each!! See how much money we save with our Thermomix?
This is one of my favourite recipes on recipe community. But I roll it into a log and slice...too busy to roll balls
Now I must say, I don't take any credit for this recipe....it is just one of my absolute favourites, which you can find on the Recipe Community

Still 'irks' me seeing how much I used to pay for certain things before Thermomix. Like this shredded chicken at $20/kg!! And almond meal at $40/kg, and yoghurt which I make for $1.20/L
Shredding Chicken in your Thermomix
Cook chicken in small pieces in your basket, 20 minutes, Varoma, speed 2
Drain liquid and keep as stock - don't waste it!
Return chicken to TM bowl and shred on speed 4 for 4 seconds
Add to salads, pizza, soup, casseroles, sandwiches...anything! Freezes and defrosts really well too!
For a great flat bread or tortilla recipe you can't go past the 'Indian Flatbread' recipe in 'Traveling with Thermomix'. We use this recipe all the time. It makes a lot! My tip is to sit them in a tea towel so that they don't dry out as they cool, that way they are still pliable enough to roll them or use them as wraps.
Here I used them with leftover shredded roast lamb (cooked in the varoma), homemade tzatziki sauce with fresh mint from my garden, and Indian style roti breads....yum!!
