Dalston Deli - Freshly Made Focaccia

Dalston Deli – Freshly Made Focaccia

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Focaccia bread trended during lockdown, with so many people learning how to make bread. It’s soft, it’s delicious, it’s often quite satisfying to eat. Dalston Deli has taken focaccia bread, baked daily, and created a bunch of packed sandwiches that are filled with fillings and sauces made in house. Their focus on freshness is reflected in the number of sandwiches they have each day; only 50! So pre-ordering the sandwich you’d like is heavily recommended.

Dole Fruit Jelly for Packed Lunches and Snacks!

Dole Fruit Jelly for Packed Lunches and Snacks!

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] I feel like Dole is a household name or at least one that I have grown up with and always had in my house! They were known as “the banana brand” but moved into lots of other fruit-related things, including jelly, as well as vegetable related things like salad bags. We often actually have Dole Fruit Jelly for breakfast, specifically the orange jelly with mandarin oranges in it, as it’s a big family favorite. Jelly is just a common snack in our household and as we often have jelly packed in our packed lunches, when Dole reached out asking if we wanted to review some more of their kids jellies, we were pretty excited! These three flavors of jelly included my absolute favorite fruit cup and two new ones for Kai, Amelia and Robin to try.

Celebratory Dinner at Sevine Brasserie

Celebratory Dinner at Sevine Brasserie

Posted on by Jupiter

Sevine Brasserie, a stylish new Mediterranean food stop, opened up last year in the Water Gardens in Harlow! It’s a place that Dann and I have walked past dozens of times, looking like a great, upscale lunch, brunch and dinner venue. Often, there are people enjoy coffees outside around lunchtime and drinks in the evening. They have really ramped up this year, providing a lot of outdoor music and entertainment for the local community. Dann and I both kept saying we would eat there soon, so when I finished and submitted my book to my publisher at the start of this month, it felt like it was time to eat somewhere new, and Sevine Brasserie came to mind!

Midweek Meal Inspo; Carbonara, Stuffed Bell Peppers, Potato Chip Chicken Tenders and more

Posted on by Jupiter

It’s summertime and we have been having fun in the kitchen. We all always are trying new food and during the summer, there is just a bit more flexibility in times as our children don’t have tons of clubs and the like to attend. This week, we had some new recipes and some old favorites that we just haven’t had for a while. Robin also helped with a beef and broccoli dish right before school ended, which came out grand, so I included that too. Let’s get into this week’s meal inspiration.

Piped Flowers Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Amelia has expressed interest in spending more one on one time with me, since becoming a teenager. She has different interests then Kai and Robin, so we’ve been going to things together that entertain both of our hobbies. The latest activity she wanted to try out was the Piped Flowers Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie. Amelia is always in the kitchen with me, but much prefers baking to cooking, so decorating felt like the natural next thing.
