Risotto Range from Cully & Sully

I'm a big fan of the Cully & Sully soups (pop their name in the search bar and the SPs will pop up) and a couple of weeks ago I spotted their risotto range in my local Tesco. I've done the SPs for half tubs too in case you fancy sharing (they're too delicious to share tbh but no one want's to look selfish! These are the 400g tubs but there is a smaller 280g tubs on sale too. Anyone tried the out? x

Taste of goodness...

Another Irish product that you will spot when you're in Supervalu and Iceland. There's 10 sauces in their range (I spotted 8 in my local Supervalu) and with BBQ, salads and all things summery on the go at the moment, adding flavour is all in the dressing and seasoning! With a big plate of zero heroes and your protein, these are worth spending the SmartPoints on in my opinion. Gluten, GM, shellfish & lactose free, suitable for vegetarians and made with rapeseed oil so they're a great source of Omega 3 too. Anyone tried them out? x

Yummy Atlantic Treasures...

I love to promote Irish products, now more than ever we really need to help the home team out. So when Atlantic Treasures, a company based in Donegal contacted me about trying some of their mackerel range I thought I had to give it a try! Not a single regret. This range is so good, and with us all trying to eat less red meat and these beauties being on our doorstep they're well worth a try if you're a fish fan... So full of flavour that you'll only need half the pack for a substantial meal, bulk them up with salads and veggies and you've got a dinner worthy of instagram... I'm trying out a few recipes with them over the next few weeks but if you spot them definitely give them a try... I've done the SPs per half pack and full pack and although people might think they're a bit high they're full of all the good oils and fats so definitely worth it... Anyone else tried them out? x

Getting dressed for summer!

Another great Irish brand to support! Berna's dressings are all gluten free, made in a nut free environment and made with 100% natural ingredients! These are full of flavour! Whilst you think they might be high in SPs they pack a punch, so a table spoon is plenty to add a kick to your side salad or as a dip! I loved the honey and mustard one until I brushed a little of the basil dressing onto a muffin with some garlic and toasted it... UNREAL! 

Def worth seeking out for the summer! Anyone tried them out? x
