Vegetable Pancakes!

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...I love a burger in a bun - in fact, I love meat products in general, but I often find that I'm not eating enough vegetables . I think the big reason for this is that, in general, if I cook properly, from scratch, i'll include a lot of veg, but if I'm eating something from the freezer, I tend to go for speed and convenience, and end up microwaving some beans instead . So, I've started switching to veggie burgers - just as quick and easy to cook, but packed with a variety of vegetables instead of meat, for an easy way to get an extra little bit of veg inside me . Dalepak was one of the first brands I tried, picking up a pack of four vegetable grills from Iceland . They're pretty attractive to look at - cutlet shaped veggie grills, made of mashed potato with a variety of veg added in - onion, carrots, sweetcorn, broccoli, green beans...

Chicken (and vegetable) soup for the soul

Advantages: delicious, healthy, price
Disadvantages: /

...I have always loved soup. As a child I preferred tomato soup, and the occasional bowl of chicken soup. Though as I've grown older, I prefer soup with 'bits' in. When I discovered the Big Soup options from Heinz, I couldn't believe how satisfying they were, and went exploring the range of flavours to see what they had on offer. This was when I came across the Heinz Big Soup chicken and vegetable soup. The soup can be found in the tins aisle of supermarkets, such as Tesco or Asda, alongside all the other soups. Though the range is easily recognised as each tin is wrapped with a green label, the Heinz sign clear at the top with 'Big Soup' written in bold underneath. Then each one has a picture of a bowl of soup, an image that almost lets you feel the heat rise from the product, a delicious picture to tempt you further. There are many...

Fruit, Vegetables and Groceries to your door.

Advantages: Great value
Disadvantages: None for me

...5 A Day Box: (Please note www.5adaybox.co.uk only serves the South West. Sorry to all of you that can't use them but there are similar companies in other areas, just search for them). My Dad has been having a fruit and vegetable delivery for ages now and at first I have to admit that I thought it was a bit "la-de-da" to be honest and I assumed that it would be very expensive. I can't believe how wrong I was! After a bit of persuading by my Dad, (he should earn commission), I decided to give it a go mainly because if you bought one box you got a second free, (delivered the week/fortnight after your first box). With that kind of deal I thought I had nothing to lose. I really and truly expected to cancel after the second delivery but now I look forward to my fortnightly veggies! As the name suggests you can sign up for a box of fruit...

Grow your own Vegetables!!

Advantages: Very useful and helpful information
Disadvantages: Price may seem expensive

...with diagrams. Cloches, tunnels and frames - pictures and clear descriptions are gave and even when to use them. Crop rotation - this is explained well and is something I would never have thought about. Once you have read these sections you have the underpinning knowledge to start growing some vegetables. They cover lots of different types of vegetables from leaves, stalks and shoots, pods and seeds, onions and relatives, roots and tubers, vegetable fruits, herbs and less common vegetables. The only thing in it that I couldn't find was chilli. Each vegetable is described individually or in a group where they are grown in the same way. You are given step by step instructions that are very clear and concise with diagrams to help you along. Any special things about the vegetable you are told about and it is very helpful and useful. You have...

  The Fruit Of The Dragon

Advantages: Healthy, Colourful, Different
Disadvantages: Bland, Watery, Not Cheap Cheap

...My mum bought this item home from Tesco today. She was attracted by the beautiful appearance of the fruit. *~*~*The Fruit*~*~* The fruit itself is a bright pink colour with green scales. It definitely stands out from the other edibles on the shelf. It is an oval sort of shape and about 4/5 inches tall. There are 3 types of Dragon Fruit and they all have very technical names. The Hylocereus undatus, which is what my mum bought, has pink skin and white flesh, the Hylocereus polyrhizus, which has pink skin and red flesh and the Selenicereus megalanthus, which has yellow skin and white flesh. I must stress that I haven't sampled the latter two varieties and therefore this review is solely on the Hylocereus undatus. The inside of the fruit has white flesh as stated above, this flesh is very soft (a bit like a kiwi fruit in appearance...

Vegetable fun

Advantages: Strong, interactive, realistic, reasonably well priced
Disadvantages: none

...box too. ********The vegetables****** You get 12 plastic vegetables with this set, made of good quality thick plastic. Other sets of plastic fruit and vegetables are made of cheaper plastic with airholes and they bend and break under pressure. I have been responsible for the squashing of more than one plastic banana, but have bruises on my feet from accidentally standing on the potato from this set last night! The vegetables are: a floret of broccoli, a potato, a corn cob, a cauliflower, tomato, pepper, aubergine, avocado, onion, a cabbage, a cucumber and a carrot. Some of these are instantly identifiable as the intended vegetable but I have to admit to being stumped momentarily by the potato and the cabbage. They all have a lovely tactile quality to them, the outer textures have been well replicated and they have a definite ?pick...

Review of Campbell's Classic Vegetable Condensed Soup

Heinz Beef and Vegetable Big Soup

Advantages: A good winter soup
Disadvantages: none

...When it comes to buying canned soup I think it pays to spend a penny or two more and get a plateful of soup that you can enjoy. Our local Farmfoods has recently had some good offers on Heinz soups and that`s always a good time to stock up a little. The Heinz creamed soups are tasty and Baxter`s also make a soup thats flavoursome. If I have any leftover vegetables that need using up I would elect to make my own pot of soup, simple to make and full of goodness. Having an electric hand blender makes the task simple, cook your diced vegetables in some stock, maybe add a little stewing beef too if you fancy a soup that makes more of a meal. Before I cream the cooked vegetables and meat with my hand blender I let the panful cool down well and then once it is all creamed I add a generous pour of double cream which makes the whole thing...

Heinz Vegetable Soup - Filling Comfort Food!

Advantages: Quick to prepare, reasonably cheap.
Disadvantages: Much too high salt content - is a processed food at the end of the day.

...HEINZ CLASSIC VEGETABLE SOUP 300g I was feeling a bit under the weather yesterday, so I went to the cupboard in search of comfort food and found a tin of Heinz Vegetable Soup. This was something I remember eating when I was a child and I was poorly and it always cheered me up. This size is classed as a mug size, but I always prefer to eat it in a bowl. ***What does it offer?*** Well, it comes in a can with a red label and a picture of wholesome soup on the front of it. It states that it is suitable for vegetarians and is low in fat. It only has 129 calories per serving, 2.2g of fat (of which 0.2g are saturates). You can either warm it on the hob or heat it in the microwave. The label also states that it contains 29% vegetables, which makes me feel like better, because I realise I am after all eating processed food. It contains...
