I’m not a huge fan of this time of year. That said, something I do enjoy is the excuse to eat lots of soup! I was pleased to learn, then, that my third and final Eat Like A Pro post with Beko involved its brand new soup maker. Much like the Vacuum Blender I reviewed …
Do your kids ever act up after spending time on a screen? How about when they eat certain things? Now, I can’t rightly ask those questions without sharing my experiences. So I’ll put my hand up and admit that mine have been known to! To be fair, it’s never particularly bad but there is a …
Anything that encourages families – and children in particular – to eat more healthily can only be good news. With that in mind, I’m proud to be part of Beko’s #EatLikeAPro campaign. To help me try out more healthy and tasty recipes, Beko sent me its brand new Vacuum Blender. I also received a range of …
I’ve always had a sweet tooth and enjoy trying food from other countries whenever possible. With this in mind, it was a no-brainer when I was asked to try Magija. New to these shores, it’s a tasty treat that has been enjoyed in its native Lithuania for well over a decade. On the face of it, …
Calling all wannabe chocolatiers. This may well be your moment! Cadbury is offering everyone in the UK and Ireland the opportunity to create and name their own Dairy Milk bar. That’s right. The nation’s favourite chocolate is opening its doors to connoisseurs around these isles. And speaking of isles – well, aisles – your handiwork …
Summer is finally here and it looks like it’s here to stay. Hurrah! With the school holidays imminent, parents’ thoughts are turning to how to keep the kids occupied for six whole weeks. It’s a daunting prospect, but is still very much achievable. Like many others, we’re on a pretty tight budget so we’ll be having …
Getting young children to eat healthily is a battle that most parents are all-too-familiar with. In fact, according to recent research by Beko, a huge 50% of Brits have given up on trying to get their kids to eat five-a-day. The survey of 2,000 British parents also found that 41% had abandoned trying to getting …
For some reason, fibre doesn’t seem to get much of a look in when the subject of balanced diets comes up. It really ought to though as most people in the UK aren’t getting enough. While we should be consuming 30g a day, the majority of us are only managing 18g. This ‘fibre gap’ isn’t …
I absolutely love Nutella so it was a no-brainer when I was asked to come up with an Easter breakfast recipe that complements the hazelnut-based spread. The beauty of Nutella is that a little goes a long way. One 15g portion (equivalent to one heaped teaspoon) is 80kcals and can be enjoyed as part of …
When things that were popular in the 1980s make a comeback, it isn’t always good news. Some fashion choices and musical acts should remain in that decade. This particular return, however, is a very welcome one as far as I’m concerned. If you’re as old as me, you may remember Hofmeister and George the Bear. Well …
