Schwartz 2-in-1 Recipe Mixes Review (Part 5)




So the lovely people over at Schwartz  (via Mumsnet) have asked me to do a product test of these 2-in-1 Recipe Mixes for chicken. It's ideal because we LOVE chicken in this house and I'd love to try new ways of serving it to my kids that are quick and easy, and maybe even let them help!


Before I start let me say that all views and opinions in this review are my own. I have not been paid to make this review, but I have been given these 5 packets for free. 

Review 5: Garlic & herb crunchy chicken bites + cheese & chive dip

>> Product Link <<

This is the one my Hubby has been waiting for! He LOVES cheese and he LOVES dip! I hope it lives up to his expectations...

What it says on the packet:


This says it serves 4 and takes just 20 minutes to prepare. That sounds PERFECT for a busy mum with hungry kids after school. Just what we need!


Cooking:


The prep for this was (again) incredibly simple. I didn't need to buy in anything special or additional to what was already in my kitchen which is always a bonus. I was thrilled that there was enough of the topping to coat all of my chicken mini fillets, and the dip was wonderfully simple. it looked just like store bought dip!

How did it taste?


I expected my 3yo to not like this very much. He is very anti-crunch. So you can imagine my surprise when he wolfed the lot down! It was all I could do to grab a few seconds video of him eating the chicken and giving his opinion on it before it was all gone! So I think that counts as a good vote. My 5yo has loved all of these so I wasn't too worried about him and true to form he really enjoyed it. My 1yo gave it a good go too, he really enjoyed the dip and ate all of that before trying anything else. I quite like it and the Hubby had no complaints. I can see us buying this one again soon!

Kid rating: 4/5

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
