Glorious Soup & Uncle Ben Review

Earlier this month, I had a wonderful opportunity to try two different types of healthy range foods. First was the SkinnyLicious range of healthy Glorious soups and then there was Uncle Ben’s new range of wholesome, great-tasting Rice & Grain varieties!

Introducing the SkinnyLicious soup range of Glorious Soup which is perfect for those seeking a guilt-free, healthy indulgence. Each SkinnyLicious soup is less than 2% fat and under 150 calories per portion. They are suitable for vegetarians, and others in the range are suitable for vegans and those with gluten allergies. For the past few weeks, I have been to Tesco and Waitrose to stock up. I am pleased that both supermarkets stock different ranges of flavours and I was able to try them all out!

Warburtons Shapes Sandwich

Did you all have a picnic last week for National Picnic Week? We did! We were blessed with nice weather and so we were able to go to Beacon Park. The pollen count was high too. Mr K and I suffer from hay fever but luckily we had prepared for the worst!

Once again, Warburtons have not disappointed me with their products. Yet again, they have brought out another innovative and quirky sandwich! Sandwich thins shaped in Cat and Van designs! What a clever idea to add fun into our food. These designs give us so many ways to be creative and to make the sandwich look more appetising!

Warburtons Thin Bagel Time

Warburtons Thin Bagel was such a great hit in this household that we had it for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Last week, we had been trying out Warburtons three new bagel flavours: Cinnamon & Raisin, Sesame, and Plain.

As many people know, bagels are usually very dense and chewy. Warburtons new bagel is very much different! It has the same authentic bagel taste and texture but just thinner which is so much easier to eat.

Degustabox Review – May

This is my second month reviewing this Degustabox. Yet again, another interesting set of food and drink products. This time around, the theme is BBQ. I’m afraid to say that the weather has been too terrible for BBQs. Nevertheless we have had our own ‘BBQ’ chicken cooked in the oven over the bank holiday!

Before I go into more detail, let me recap on what is Degustabox? It is simply a monthly subscription food & drink box. Each month, you will receive 9 – 14 different types of food & drink products and many are completely new to the market. You only pay £12.99 including delivery. There is no commitment and you can cancel any time. If you do like this idea, use this code 35SRB to give you a £3.00 discount when registering! If you don’t drink alcohol, you can opt to receive an alcohol free box!

Opening the box, all the items were neatly packed even through transit. Plenty of bubble wrap is used to protect those breakable items. They also included product information and a flyer/recipe. The flyer has information to help you to understand where the foods have come from and the RRP. On the back of the flyer is the recipe.

Japanese Surprise Box Unwrapped

My son has been watching quite a lot of video on YouTube and one of the videos he saw was about unwrapping a food box and trying out the snacks in it. So he asked my sister who happened to be working in Japan at the time to make him a box.

I asked her to get us a small box of candies and I was so surprised to receive a huge box of Japanese goodies! Some of them are my favourites too! I have been to Japan three times for holidays and I am totally in love with the place and their cute ‘kawaii’ foods/snacks. They place emphasis on the emotive packaging and pay extra attention to detail. It makes the food so appealing!

Degustabox Review

Are you adventurous with food? Would you like to try 9 – 14 different types of food products each month? Degustabox will be a great solution for you! This April month has an international food theme. If you don’t drink alcohol, you will receive an alcohol free box!

Opening the box, it was very neatly packed with lots of bubble wrap to protect those breakable items. They also included product information and flyer /recipe. The flyer  has little flags on it to help understand where the foods have come from if you are interested. It also has the price list and recipe on  the back of the flyer.

Sylvester Stallone ‪#‎TheDeliverers Warburtons

Have you seen Warburtons’s freshly baked ad with Sylvester Stallone? It was first shown yesterday on ITV at 8.15pm.  This is the lovely Sylvester Stallone’s action advert with the British freshly baked bread from Bolton. I love the T-shirt (I love Bolton) Sylvester Stallone wore! I am so glad that we managed to get one plus the Warburtons hat and oven gloves! This is Mr C wearing it! Don’t he look smart in it! Lol.

Choc Nibbles Easter Garden

This Easter, Choc Nibbles set us a challenge to use a variety of Choc Nibbles flavours by either baking them, eating them or decorating with them. I decided to create an Easter Garden. I filled the flower pots with a mixture of different flavoured yummy delicious Choc Nibbles.

Did you know that Sweetdreams Ltd have been manufacturing Choc Nibbles in the North East for nearly 30 years now? They are unique and the only manufacturers of this type of product in the UK. They have seven different varieties: Original Choc Nibbles, Toffee Crumble, Choc Lick, Orange Choc Nibbles, Mint Choc Nibbles, and two brand new to the range: Jammie Choc Nibbles and Posh Original Choc Nibbles.

Meeting Honey Monster

Last week, we popped by Star City and managed to catch Honey Monster on the last day of his tour of the Midlands to share some of his yummy Honey Monster Puffs! They were re-branded from Sugar Puffs to the new name last year 2014.

As we walked into the main building at Star City, the cuddly monster was standing in his stand waving at us! We had a family photo taken by their lovely staff and both children were very excited to give Honey Monster a cuddle!

Red Heart-Healthy Breakfast with Warburtons

Breakfast is always very important to all of us to start the day right. Warburtons and The British Heart Foundation (BHF) have teamed up to help educate the nation on the importance of maintaining a healthy balanced diet, which includes essential starchy carbohydrates such as bread, in order to maintain a healthy heart.

Seasoned Pioneers Fish Curry Spice Blend

I always love to add spicy spices into my cooking to make the food more interesting and better tasting too. Unfortunately, both of my children do not have such developed taste buds to appreciate such foods. So whenever we have spicy spices they are having something different.

Chocolat Chocolat Custom Made Review

Are you sick of normal chocolate and fancy making your own chocolate bar? Chocolat Chocolat: the home of handmade chocolate is offering that with plenty of different flavours, toppings and many more to choose from, which is great for Christmas, birthday or any occasion.

I am very picky about chocolate. Normally I will go for milk chocolate with nuts. Hunting the right type down from the high street store or supermarket can be quite tricky as they may not stock the right type or run out of stock. With this Chocolat Chocolat Custom Made chocolate bar, I have so much of freedom to choose what I WANT inside my chocolate bar!
