I don’t need more dinner recipes. I need fewer decisions! 😅

And with three kids, work and everything else going on, the last thing I want at 6pm is to start figuring out dinner.

So here’s my system:

📅 Plan once – Choose 3–4 smart dinners in Cookidoo that can stretch across two days. Think a big batch of chilli, curry or bolognese for dinner one night, then leftovers for lunch or a quick second dinner the next day. No unrealistic 7-day plans.

🛒 Shop once – Ingredients ordered straight from my meal plan in one go, with recipes chosen to share ingredients and make the most of what I buy.

🍝 Have a backup – Pesto, meat sauce or pizza dough ready for when life happens.

Does everything always go to plan? Of course not. But at least dinner doesn’t have to be another daily puzzle.

My Thermomix makes this whole system so much easier.

Less planning. Less thinking. More living. 🙌

I’m not against cooking. I’m against spending my entire evening doing it. 😂

And just to be clear, I’m talking about MY time, not how long dinner takes from start to finish.

If dinner needs 10 minutes of my attention and then cooks itself for another 30, I’m absolutely fine with that. 🙌

But 3 hours of prepping dinner? We need to talk. 😂

How much time do YOU normally spend prepping dinner? 👇

I don’t always have a meal plan. And I definitely don’t always feel like cooking. 😅

But I do have an emergency stash!

These are a few things I always try to keep stocked so that when life gets busy (or I simply can’t be bothered to think about dinner), I know I’ve got options.

🍕 Flour + yeast → emergency pizza, homemade bread or fresh rolls.

🍓 Frozen fruit → smoothies or homemade sorbet when the kids want something sweet.

🍝 Pasta → add garlic and olive oil for a 10-minute aglio e olio.

🥗 Tinned tuna + sweetcorn + microwave rice → throw in leftover veggies for a quick meal.

🍅 Rice + tinned tomatoes + Parmesan → a simple, comforting tomato risotto.

Nothing fancy. Just everyday ingredients that can save you another supermarket trip, another takeaway or another round of “what are we having for dinner?”

And yes, my Thermomix makes turning these basics into meals even easier. 🙌

💬 What’s the ONE thing you always keep in your emergency food stash? Tell me in the comments, I’m always looking for new ideas!

📌 Save this for your next food shop and follow for more practical family meal shortcuts.

The struggle of being a food creator and also having actual hungry children 😂

At least I suppose this counts as a good review.

Please tell me I’m not the only one whose kids start eating before the food even hits the table 😂

Current lunchbox favourite 🎃

These pumpkin streusel muffins are on repeat in our house at the moment — a few minutes to make the batter, 20 minutes in the oven, and that crunchy streusel top makes them dangerously easy to eat.

And no, I’m not making pumpkin purée from scratch 😅 I buy canned pumpkin purée and keep it in the cupboard for exactly this.

Perfect for lunchboxes… provided you hide a few quickly enough. 😂

Save this one for your next lunchbox restock.

When the weather outside says October… but dinner says Spain ☀️🥘

This paella can bring back summer memories even on the gloomiest day — and it needs less than 15 minutes of your time.

A little bit of sunshine on your plate when the actual sunshine has disappeared ☀️

Would your family eat this? Tell me in the comments 👇
And follow for more quick family dinner ideas that make feeding everyone a little easier.

Feeling stuck in the kitchen? I know the feeling 😅

This 15-minute gyros is exactly the kind of dinner I need on those days — quick, easy and very little thinking required.

Have it with tzatziki, or try curd cheese mixed with chopped gherkins — such a simple combination, but SO good 🤌

Save this for a day when you want to get dinner done and get out of the kitchen.

The cooking was never the exhausting part.

It was the meeting beforehand. 😂

What are we having?
What will the kids eat?
What needs using up?
Didn’t we have pasta yesterday?
Did I remember to defrost the chicken?

Every. Single. Day.

That constant internal dialogue was one of the biggest things I wanted to get rid of.

And honestly, this is where Thermomix changed things for me. Not because I suddenly became more organised or started cooking elaborate dinners — but because feeding everyone requires so much less thinking.

And that, at 6 pm on a Tuesday, is worth a lot to me.

If you’re wondering whether a Thermomix would actually make your life easier, DM me. We can figure out whether it would genuinely fit your family and the way you eat. 🤍

Apparently October is bread-making season… and Thermomix got the memo. 🍂🍞

October’s Thermomix offers have landed, just in time for cosy autumn evenings:

🍞 FREE Bread Starter Kit when you purchase a TM7

🍞 Bread Starter Kit + Bread Casserole for £49 when you purchase a TM7

🌡️ Bread Starter Kit + Thermomix Sensor for £69 when you purchase a TM7

And 0% finance is available, so you don’t necessarily have to pay for your TM7 all at once.

If you’ve been thinking about getting a Thermomix, this is exactly what I’m here for. You don’t need to figure out the options, ordering or finance by yourself — message me and I’ll talk you through everything, help you choose the offer that makes the most sense for you, and facilitate the whole process from start to finish.

Then all that’s left is deciding what you’re baking first. 🍞🍂

DM me “OCTOBER” and I’ll send you all the details.
