Curvy bread to keep off the curves!

Advantages: tasty, quick, a nice alternative, healthier
Disadvantages: not for every day

I'd always fancied trying croissants; they looked so scrumptious! I'd never quite gotten round to it though, until I stayed away from home for a few days and found some in my mam's kitchen cupboard. I thought this was a good a time as any to give them a t ...

Review of Asda Good For You Croissants

'Good for you' and delicious too!!

Advantages: Quite cheap, nice alternative to cake
Disadvantages: very moreish

I used to make these myself years ago when I had more time on my hands. They were called drop scones then, or some people called them pikelets. Although they are quick and easy to make, they are now so widely available to buy in supermarkets and are so c ...

Review of Asda Fresh Donuts

More like 'Do-not's' than 'Donuts'

Advantages: n/a
Disadvantages: Dry; hardly any filling; fillings are nasty

As you may know, I do like my doughnuts and I've already reviewed the Tesco and Sainsbury filled doughnuts so now it's onto Asda's brand, but without much enthusiasm I'm afraid. You can purchase bags of 2 or 5 doughnuts in either: *Apple *Custard *T ...
