This weekend, we will be joining in with millions of people to share friendship, food and fun over a cuppa. PG Tips has partnered with The Big Lunch, an initiative created by the Eden Project, to encourage people all over the nation to spend quality time with each other over food and a cuppa, or two. We were lucky to be sent this tea hamper to be involved in this project too.
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.
A brand new Cherry Tree Farm product range recently launched nationwide at Co-op stores to help busy families make quick and easy meals. Their new cooked meats range has hit the Co-op shelves with a selection of tasty turkey and chicken slices and chunks.
The Sugar-Free Kitchen is a simple cookbook with recipes that drives towards eating a cleaner, healthier diet. It offers a range of exciting recipes to help reduce or eliminate sugar from your diet while still being tasty and delicious.
The cookbook is also very informative. It explains how both refined and natural sugar affects the body, how it has snuck into our food, the health benefits of eating more quality protein, wholefoods and good fats and much more.
It has certainly enlightened me. I was always very curious about the alternatives for sugar for diabetics. Both my parents suffered from diabetes which I will likely inherit in future. So I should watch my intake of sugar especially as I love sugary food!

Both of my children school full time and each week I have to plan their meals. It is not easy to plan when you have two fussy eaters. We always go food shopping together and discuss what they like to eat for that week.
I was so pleased to do this Flora challenge and discover that they have so many tasty and healthy ideas on their website. We had to pick a recipe from the website and the children decided to cook Chicken Tikka Wrap for their packed lunch box.
