Battle of the Festive Sarnie: Boots Shapers Turkey, Stuffing & Redcurrant

Battle of the Festive Sarnie: Boots Shapers Turkey, Stuffing & Redcurrant

The battle of the festive sandwiches has begun. Yes it is a battle I take very seriously and there can only be one winner. Christmas is one of my favourite times of year and the festive sandwich is the only festive food I allow myself to eat as soon as they come out. It is actually a running joke at work with how many I eat!  This year it is only fair that we start with the first festive sarnie that I had – Boots Shapers Turkey,  Stuffing & Redcurrant Sauce. This is pretty much the standard turkey sandwich that will…

Oreo Cheesecake

Oreo Cheesecake

I have spied the Oreo Cheesecake lurking in the freezer aisle many times. Always tempted but never taken the plunge, until today. I love Oreos as much as the next person but am dubious of frozen desserts, and after the Oreo Yoghurt I am right to have my reservations.  This 350g cheesecake was £3.00 from Sainsbury’s which I thought was a very reasonable price indeed. When it came to how to actually get the cheesecake out the plastic casing, the instructions were not brilliant. FYI the easiest way is to cut diagonal slits into the case and pull apart. To…

Tesco Red Velvet Cookies

Tesco Red Velvet Cookies

With all these Red Velvet goodies gracing our shelves anyone would think that Valentines Day is coming up, not Christmas. With my love of red velvet I am certainly not complaining and instead am embracing the red cocoa delights. Today’s review is all about Tesco Red Velvet Cookies. Tesco are the latest to serve up a variation on the red velvet and have opted for a cookie. For a rounded £1.00 it will give you 5 reasonably sized baked cookies and if you are feeling hungry then these are part of 2 for £1.50.  Soft chewy red cookies with white…

Skyr Pear Apple and Cinnamon

Skyr Pear Apple and Cinnamon

I have been on the hunt for the new Arla Skyr Pear Apple and Cinnamon yoghurt ever since it was announced. For those regular readers you may recall that I reviewed three of the Arla Skyr yoghurts a little while back, and was mighty impressed by them, so I am hoping for great things here.  This 150g pot was on offer for 60p at Tesco. If you haven’t heard of Skyr then these are reduced sugar, high protein yoghurts that are also suitable for vegetarians. This new flavour pot is strictly limited edition for the autumn period and with the apple…

Shredded Wheat Cherry Bakewell

Shredded Wheat Cherry Bakewell

If you are a regular reader you will know I have a particular love for Cherry Bakewell so whilst perusing Ocado for some new cereal I came across Shredded Wheat Cherry Bakewell and got a wee bit giddy. Given my sheer disappointment over Waitrose’s Cherry Bakewell Granola I am hoping that Nestle can pull it out the bag here and deliver.   £2.49 for a 430g box isn’t too shabby. This Cherry Bakewell cereal is high in fibre and whole grain, has no artificial colours or flavours and is suitable for vegetarians. If you have allergies then beware as aside from…
