Flavorful Bread with Wright’s Baking Cheddar Cheese & Onion Bread Mix

Posted on February 11, 2025February 21, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] Amelia comes home from school often looking for something to quickly make. I think it’s that itch of baking – so we checked the cabinet and took a look for a bread to make for Kai’s avocado toast for breakfast. Amelia isn’t a big bread fan, but Wright’s Baking has sent us a load of different bread mixes to try out. She read off all the labels on them and settled on the Cheddar Cheese & Onion Bread Mix, which sounded the “best for Avocado Toast”.

Harlow Chinese School – Hot Pot Party

Posted on February 7, 2025February 7, 2025 by Jupiter

When it comes to cooking at the Harlow Chinese School, a lot of the prep work is already done for us. This is totally okay with me, as I am more than happy to primarily do the eating! with the first course of the New Year, Sun Yong wanted to do something a bit different, and prepare a Hot Pot Party. This was more of a big social event, where we were just cooking out own Hot Pot and talking with each other. Honestly, it felt like a great community activity and a lovely way to start off the New Year without any sort of pressure.

Trying new Higgidy products for an easy lunch

Posted on February 4, 2025February 19, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted products] Higgidy has been a go-to brand for us when it comes to picnics or easy grab-and-go snacks. Our family associates them with vegan products or products that don’t contain any meat. When looking at all of their new stock, we noticed that they had a bunch of new meat pies and other savouries that we had not tried before! Excited, we set up a little indoor picnic, as it’s quite cold and windy outside, where we could try a bunch of picky bits.

Desserts from Around The World

Posted on January 30, 2025February 13, 2025 by Jupiter

Last summer we did Breakfast from Around The World, trying out a bunch of different breakfasts so that we could see what our children liked and disliked, along with experiencing more of the world, through food. As the summer holiday approached, all three of them asked if we would be doing breakfast around the world again or possibly a new “around the world” food series. So, desserts from around the world is what we settled on! We selected a bunch of different desserts from different parts of the world that we have not had before and tried them for ourselves.

Lunch out at The Green Man Pub

Posted on January 28, 2025February 10, 2025 by Jupiter

While out running some errands with a friend, Dann and I wanted to stop for a slightly bigger lunch as we had a busy day ahead. Wanting to try a pub we’ve seen a few times, we headed over to The Green Man Pub in Old Harlow. The Green Man Pub is in a historic 14th century Jacobean style building, with a lot of character to it. There is a dedicated car park, outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating. It’s also dog friendly, with treats within one of the entrances.

We went on a soggy afternoon, when the pub was just starting to fill up. We sat ourselves down and checked out the dinner menu. They have a few highlighted beers and some specials that end up rotating along with a classic pub menu. Though we were there for lunch, we ordered off of the dinner menu as that’s what caught our eye.
