Pasta has to be one of the best quick and easy weekday meals to put together for the family on busy evenings. There are so many varieties and twists you can try out to add variety, and it’s definitely a crowd pleaser in our house!
We’ve been working with Barilla, Italy’s biggest pasta brand, to celebrate quick, fun pasta recipes. Barilla have a great range of all kinds of pastas and sauces, which are all really tasty and so handy to have in your kitchen stock cupboard.
With a new baby in the house, or on the way, practical gifts are definitely just as appreciated as the cute gifts – if not more so! Ciao Gusto challenged me to choose some items from their Ocado shop to make up a hamper gift. They have a wide range that could be used to make a foodie gift hamper for a wine lover, a cheese lover, a pasta fanatic, or a gift to remind someone of a special Italian holiday you’ve enjoyed together, but I decided to put together a practical hamper selection for a new mum, since that’s really handy for us right now!
I’ve often sent grocery orders to friends with new babies, or who are going through a tough time, and it’s always really appreciated especially if you include a few treats alongside things that are really easy to prepare to save them time, and save the hassle of having to think too much about “What shall I cook today?”
Ciao Gusto had a great range to combine both the treat and the convenience elements, providing some great options for a hamper like this.
Beefeater is always a good option for a family friendly meal with traditional food that suits all the generations. We were invited along recently to try out this year’s Christmas menu, at our local Uxbridge Beefeater which is newly opened with a really spacious clean and modern look.
The restaurant is nicely decorated for Christmas and I really liked how they even decorate the tables with Christmas crackers so that you can get into the festive spirit during your meal, with party hats and christmas cracker jokes!

«Lets order a pizza!»
Typical solution students tend to have when a party is planned. Ordering a pizza is easy and convenient. And pizza along with fast food can be undoubtedly tasty. However, you need to consider the health benefit you get from it, or lack thereof, rather. Prolonged snacking on fast food tends to affect your health, body, and soul negatively. You don’t want those love handles on your sides, don’t you?
On top of that, it could also end up being costly, not nutritional enough and simply will prove to your friends that you’re not a great host.
