Well heeeelllllloooo everyone! First of all, sorry for the lack of posts. I’m sure many of you can relate to the whole no time scenario and unfortunately in my case its been the blog that has missed out. Hopefully the content already on the blog has kept you all happy plus there are of course so many amazing Thermomix sites for you to enjoy online
This post is the result of a question posted by one of my “likers” on my Thermomix Essential’s facebook page (
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Thermomix-Essentials/138914936156010
). The very gorgeous Gemma asked for some suggestions on what staples to have when you have recently purchased a Thermomix. As always, the Thermomix community is a generous one and offered a lot of suggestions. Fellow Thermomix consultant Kristie commented on the post that she provides her new customers with a shopping list. Kristie was then promptly inundated with requests (including one from me!) for that list which she very kindly sent to me so I could share with you all. I do plan to collate all the other suggestion into one document together with include my own additions but in the meantime I wanted to share with you Kristie’s shopping list. I would love to hear what you would include in your shopping list.
Thanks again Kristie!!
