This month's parcel came from Susan, who is a fellow Fitbit user, (more about Fitbit in another post). She sent me a lovely parcel, a great deal of which disappeared very quickly.
I love peanuts, these were hardly out of the box before I was opening the packet and gobbling them down. Very Tasty.
I don't know how Susan knew I have just bought the best pan ever for cooking risotto but it has become a passion this year and so when I saw this packet of Risotto con Peperoni I knew it had to be taste tested very quickly. It cooked up so easily and the kitchen smelled wonderful as it did so, the packet easily made four servings so on day 1 it was served hot with stuffed roasted peppers and on day 2 it was mixed with the vegetables that hadn't made it into the peppers, some tinned tuna, topped with a bit of grated cheese and heated through until the cheese melted. Delicious on both days. I will be looking for this when food shopping as it is so tasty.
The teas were incredibly refreshing and made a lovely change from fruit tea or coffee.
The carrot and pecan trail mix was put in my backpack when I went walking this week but didn't make it home. Very, very moreish. At least i was exercising so I didn't feel too guilty about eating it all in one session.
I haven't tried the paella spices yet or the african pepper but neither has made it into the spice drawer. Both are sitting by the hob waiting for the first possible excuse to use them. I think the paella spices might be tried tonight as rice is on the menu and the pepper won't be long before it is tried.
As usual this was a fun parcel to receive, I have never yet been disappointed with a parcel, and I have had the chance to try foods I have not previously known about.
If you like the idea of getting a parcel full of foodie treats each month and would like to know more about it all have a look at This is Rock Salt for those of you in the UK and Europe or The Lean Green Bean for those of you in the USA and Canada.
