Personally I prefer crepes but the kids love these American pancakes. Batter is a thermomix guided recipe which was done in 10 seconds, no thinking required. Yahoo! Happy Birthday breakfast for Miss 14.

Tahini paste
Went to make hummus and normally we just used peanut butter instead of tahini but we had a dairy and nut allergy to cater for so we found a thermomix recipe for tahini paste.
http://yeahnayeah.com/how-to-make-home-made-tahini-from-scratch-in-the-thermomix/
Sesame seeds ground with vegetable oil and blitzed in thermomix. We halved the recipe, 1/2 cup of sesame seeds makes about 5-6 tablespoons of tahini and only one is needed for one lot of hummus. The only problem was first time round the instructions were so simple we overlooked the first step which was to grind the sesame seeds first. The blades just stirred the seeds with the vegetable oil no matter how long it was blended together.
But it all worked out in the end just kept the first batch for stir frys and made another this time correctly and it’s pictured first above. Tahini for hummus done! .
The Best Broccoli Salad
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/side-dishes-recipes/broccoli-salad/57829
Ok…so the broccoli salad from the thermomix guided recipe is great but this one from the recipe community (link above) tops that one. Nb Just ease up on salt, add 1/2 tsp salt instead of full tsp or salt to taste at end. Raw broccoli, cauliflower ( substituted for red capsicum which we didn’t have ), apple and pinenuts put into thermomix with the dressing. The dressing is apple cider vinegar ( substitute, didn’t have any white balsamic vinegar ) dijon mustard, honey and olive oil. It’s so good that you can’t stop eating it, worth it’s 89 plus comments on the recipe community. The whole family came out with a collective “mmmmmmmm” when we tried it. 5 seconds to create in the thermomix, still can’t get over how quick and easy. Fabulous salad! We will be using this recipe alot and I’ll be sure to try it with red capsicum as well.
Beetroot and pomegranate salad
Two Beetroot, two carrots, two sprigs of coriander and 3TB apple cider vinegar chopped in thermomix 4 seconds speed 5. Spooned over bed of spinach leaves and topped with pomegranate seeds, salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon. Lovely summer salad.
Strawberry Bliss Balls
These raw vegan sugar free bliss balls are made from medjool dates, banana, strawberries, activated nuts, chia seeds, and coconut. Used thermomix to blitz the dates first, then added the other ingredients. Pulsed a few times. Shaped into balls and rolled in desiccated coconut and refrigerated for 20 minutes to firm up. Rolled a few in chocolate hail for kids. But they were happy to eat the sugar free ones. Delicious and a great alternative to biscuits and cake. Recipe from Pete Evans Paleo Family Food cookbook.

Pikelets
Very easy with chip guided recipes. No thinking required and a good result guaranteed with these well tested recipes.
Deseeding pomegranate
Dani Valent author of “In the Mix” tip for deseeding a pomegranate with the thermomix. Cut the pomegranate into quarters, put in the TM, reverse speed 4 for 1 second. Remove pith and peel from the bowl. Works well, a few remained in the peel but the bulk was in the bowl.
Potato Croquettes
Cooking with the thermomix is so easy we seem to always a lot of leftovers. What to do with leftover mash potato and pasta… make potato croquettes. Mixed the leftover mash and macaroni, added ham and chives, salt and pepper. Miss 13 formed into patties and dipped in flour, egg wash, and dipped into breadcrumbs.
Porridge
Porridge made in thermomix this morning. It’s another guided recipe, just add the oats, milk, and water. Enough for four bowls cooked in 11 mins. Husband is impressed and even miss 13 who is not a fan of porridge is happy to eat. Creamy and smooth . Topped with apple, maple syrup and cinnamon it’s a great start to the weekend.
Custard
I love custard, always have, to be able to simply add the eggs, milk, sugar and cornflour to the thermomix and then minutes later out pops this yummy smooth glorious custard is a problem. No dieting here. It’s heavenly!
