Hampers, Goji & Adzuki …

At the beginning of July, Angie held a competition to win a Hamper from Edgell.
I was choosen as the winner. I’m delighted to have won the Hamper.

It includes the new range of 3 beans & corn snacking range plus some of the regular lines – kidney beans, chick peas, four bean mix, and also came with an apron.Look forward to using these products ASAP.

My Eats

Breakfast

I started my morning with Basic Stovetop Oats & topped it with Barambah Organics Yogurt, a few almonds & Rhubarb, Blueberry & Cinnamon Confit

You may notice that my oatmeal has red specks in it, well those are Wolfberry, commercially called Goji berry. While at Harris Farm during our last shop I picked up a bag of organic Goji berry. Wolfberry contains significant percentages of a day’s macronutrient needs – carbohydrates, protein, fat and dietary fiber. About 68% of the mass of dried wolfberries exists as carbohydrate, 12% as protein, and 10% each as fiber and fat.
Breakfast super food.

I wasn’t completely satisfied with just oats & decided to have a slice of Morpeth Sourdough (White Tin) toast with vegemite.I decided to try a new bread this week, so I went through all the breads at Harris Farm. I looked over the nutritional value like a hawk.
I pick my foods based on ingredients & nutritional.
I tend to steer clear of products with large lists of ingredients because 2/3 of the time the ingredients are unknown to me. Oh & I like to eat as clean as possible.

Snack

I decided to have a few biscuits later in the afternoon. (Excuse my blurry picture)Oh hello Mr Pickle.
I used four Naturally Good Kasha Toasted Buckwheat crispbread. Topped two with Kraft cheese & Marco Polo Red peppers. One with vegemite & the last one with Michael’s Fine Food Fresh Hommos with Organic Tahini.

Snack

I didn’t snap a picture of these cut up, but rest assured, I didn’t eat these like this.

Dinner

I had a simple (warm) meal for dinner, full of steam, vegetables & vegetarian goodness!I have an unconditional love for Natural Pulse Adzuki Bean & Kumera Patties. These babies are low in fat & taste delicious, especially covered in Gravox Gravy on a freezing night.
