Walkers TigerNuts Peanuts

I was so excited when a lovely PR company sent me 4 packets of Walkers TigerNuts Peanuts for review. It was a new product launched by Walkers Snack Foods this April 2013. What made Walkers TigerNuts Peanuts different from the rest of brand peanuts? Each peanut is covered with a distinctive tiger-patterned shell. This is unique to Walkers.

Sakata Japanese Rice Cracker

I am a big fan of Japanese food and have been to Japan three times in total for holidays. I am not a stranger to Japanese rice crackers at all. I use to eat regularly when I lived in Singapore.  When I came to England in 2002 to work, it was not easy to buy Japanese rice crackers in your local supermarkets and I was only able to find them in the supermarkets in Chinatown.

Walkers Crisp

When I first came to England in 2002, my English ex-colleague introduced me to Walkers crisp and I never looked back. It is one of the best crisps I had since I was young. It’s a scrumptiously thin crispy crisp. It makes my mouth water whenever I see someone eating it.  Every crisp is always so well-seasoned and tasty.

Easter Sunday Lunch with Heinz

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias® #CBias #SocialFabric. All opinions are my own.

Yesterday, we all went to Tesco to do our weekly shopping and to cook a nice Easter Sunday lunch. We decided to have a lazy Sunday. Rather than going out for an Easter Egg hunt, we created one at home instead.

Blossom Hill Vie Rosé Delicate & Fruity

Party party party! We all love party! Yesterday, although we had thick snow, our lovely guests still managed to turn up for our Blossom Hill Vie Rosé Wine tasting party! We also had a curry takeaway. I think that Blossom Hill Vie Rosé is very light, sweet, fruity and easy to drink. As such, it is great with any type of food or on it’s own. We sampled it indoors whilst it was snowing heavily outside, but I would imagine it would be particularly refreshing during hot summer evenings when served chilled.

Greeky Love Friday meal

The Greek Gods Greek-style yoghurt is teaming up with the Foodies100 to challenge you to come up with a heavenly recipe that would even tickle Aphrodite’s taste buds – Greeky! You just need to incorporate any of the four divine, honey-infused flavours of Greek Gods in an original, love-inspired recipe for two people.  The luxurious and indulgent yoghurt are available in Honey, Honey & Vanilla, Honey & Clementine and Honey & Strawberry.

Greek Gods yoghurt are heavenly treats which promise to deliver ‘the yoghurt you were destined for’. The four delicious flavours are tantalisingly rich and creamy, with fewer calories than other traditional luxury dairy products – they’re a great alternative to cream or ice cream! You could create a dessert to die for or add to a divine savoury dish. Here is my entry for the Foodies100 competition.

Banana Coffee Smoothies

Almond Breeze® is teaming up with the Foodies100 to challenge you to come up with an easy to make, yet incredibly scrumptious, breakfast smoothie for a chance to win a fantastic gourmet hotel stay for two people, where you’ll definitely find the time to enjoy a hearty breakfast.

The unsweetened variant boasts 60 per cent fewer calories than even skimmed milk, as well being low in saturated fat and a good source of calcium, making it a really healthy – and delicious – way to start the day. There are three variants of Almond Breeze® in the range; unsweetened, original and chocolate, all of which are bursting with health benefits. If you’re looking for some smoothie and breakfast recipe inspiration or simply some more information about Almond Breeze®, just head to www.almondbreeze.co.uk.

Lizi’s Treacle & Pecan Granola

I’m a seed and nut lover so I was happy to find out about Lizi’s Treacle & Pecan Granola. I have been sent a packet to try and for me, it is an instant hit! Pecans are one of my favourite nuts and they’ve been gently toasted in this mix and balanced with black treacle to make a truly delicious blend. Considering it is so tasty, I was interested to learn that it has a low GL (glycaemic load) of just 7.3g per 50g serving.  This helps provide a slow energy release which should help keep you feel fuller for longer.

Blossom Hill Vie White

Not long ago, I had signed up at mumsnet to be a wine reviewer for Blossom Hill Vie White 5.5%. I think that Blossom Hill Vie White is very light, fruity and easy to drink. Great with any type of food or on it own. If I would describe the taste of Vie to my friend, I would agree with the description of being able to taste the fruity flavours of citrus, pear and apricot.  It is a reduced alcohol wine that is elegant and juicy. Vie is delicate and full of flavour – perfect when you would like a glass of wine without the high alcohol content.

Gallo Moscato Party

Last Saturday, even with a thick blanket of snow, most of my guests still managed to attend my Gallo Moscato Party. We had a lot of beautiful Moscato sweet wine and Arden and Amici Almond biscuits.

Baker Days Letter Box Christmas Cake

Has anyone heard of letter box cakes? Why not pop to Baker Days website and have a look what they offer?  I was amazed by the gorgeous personalised scrumptious cake that arrived beautifully presented through my letterbox. It came in a beautiful yellow colour cake tin with a Baker Days logo ribbon across the tin. Inside, there was a mini Christmas card, a cracker and a cake! The instructions informed me of how to remove the cake from the cellophane wrapper without damaging the cake.

Maltesers Malty Hot Drink

For a fabulous twist on a traditional favourite, check out the new Maltesers malty chocolate drink. We are a big fan of Maltesers so when they introduced the Maltesers malty chocolate drink, I jumped at the chance to review it.

With the light, bubbly taste associated with Maltesers, and a unique frothy top, this delicious malty drink can be made by adding hot milk or water, depending on your taste. It is packed in a bright red resealable eco pack. The zip-lock opening is easy to use and saves me time and mess to transfer into jar or bottle.

Yet again it’s time for advent calendars. Chocolate photo advent calendars are sold each year only during the run-up to Christmas, which ensures that the chocolates are fresh. Anyone not wanting to serve their loved ones with an off-the-shelf advent calendar, preferring to create their own design with their own graphic or picture, perhaps reviving the best moments of the year, will find this easy to do at FotoInsight.

Little Dish Microwave food

We have been a Little Dish Fan since 2009 when Ms C came along! They are a life-saving meal for a busy mum of two! I used to cook every single meal when I only had Mr K but when Ms C came along, it was impossible to work and cook for two fussy eaters at the same time and Little Dish came to the rescue. We had tried a few brands stocked by our local Tesco but Mr K loves Little Dish Microwave food. During 2009, we did complain to them that the carrots were under cooked and within a day, they replied to my email and sent me a few goodwill vouchers. I feel they have greatly improved since then. I was very happy with their that their customer service for speed and response.

Provamel Orange and Redbush Soya Yoghurt

Provamel is adding a new Orange and Redbush flavour to its ‘botanical’ range of yoghurt alternatives, drawing on the flavours of southern Africa to expand the soya category. The ‘botanical’ range broke new ground when it launched last year with an Apple and Green Tea (500g) and a Lime and Lemon Balm (500g) flavour.
