M&S Crunch

For the dolls who like breakfast for dinner or as a snack before bed... why is it that sometimes only a bowl of cereal will hit the spot? These are the Crunch range from M&S... high enough in SPs but the thing about the SPs plan is nothing is off the menu, so if you fancy it, go for it!

Stir In Pasta Sauces from Ballymaloe!

Spotted in my local Dunnes stores, new 'stir in' pasta sauces from Ballymaloe!

180g jars so small but as you'd expect, packed with flavour... if the endless cooking is getting to you, lash one of these in some pasta with some bacon bits and top with cheese, sure you're practically in Italy! I've also added the large 400g jars and the new 'hidden veggies' version I haven't seen before... if the little ones are sick of veggies it might be worth a look to trick them into some extra veg...

Flavoured cauliflower rice...

Love it or loathe it, there's plenty of versions of it about... It really is the Marmite of veggies! I'm a fan of the cauliflower rice, especially when I'm running low on points but I prefer to make it fresh and add ALL the flavours to it... it's so easy to make and egg fried rice with the frozen cauliflower rice, add some soy sauce, sweet chilli, chinese 5 spice and your protein is just gorgeous and so filling... I find the flavoured ones in packs are WAY better than the plain versions, I've actually binned a plain one straight after opening it... This brand is new to me though, I haven't tried it yet but will report back, Fullgreen riced cauliflower with tomato, garlic and herbs... Anyone tried it out? x
