With a family of 6 which includes 3 teenage boys and a threenager (girl), I find most recipes just don?t make enough as they cater for 4 serves at most. Since I don?t have 2 Thermomixers, I?ve needed to find recipes that feed all of us comfortably or recipes that complement each other that either don?t take all day to cook or can be cooked in other appliances. I also try to plan meals for the week that use the same fresh and dairy ingredients to minimise wastage and keep costs down.

SATURDAY
Fakeaway ?works? burgers Skinnymixer’s American Burger Patties with Thermobexta’s Best Ever Potato Wedges.
My fakeway “works” burger
I do a kilo of mince (in 2 batches, adding YIAH seasonings to the mixture to spice them up to our liking) and shape them into 12 patties so I can freeze 6 (raw) for another time.  The Soft Butter Rolls (Thermomix Basic Cookbook) bake during the first 20 or so minutes of the wedges being in the oven, and are then cool enough to cut open and pop back in the oven with some sliced cheese during the last 5 minutes of the baking time.  While the patties and bacon cook in the grill press, I brown some onions with a flavoured balsamic vinegar and fry an egg for each burger ? keeping them warm in a thermoserver.  Everyone then makes up their own burger with salad ingredients (lettuce, tomato, beetroot) and the sauces they prefer.
