The Best Ever Birthday story cook book giveaway

Greetings all,

NuffNang have featured an advertisement for this awesome story cook book on my blog for a few weeks & i was lucky enough to review it too, now i have one to giveaway!!  I purchased & blogged about the first book in this series 'My Grandmother's Kitchen' by Louise Fulton Keats (granddaughter to the Australian cooking doyen Margaret Fulton) . . . they are both fantastic!!  

The Best Ever Birthday starts off as a story, where you follow LuLu & Henry on a party journey . . . uh oh, Nutmeg the puppy + birthday cake . . . i won't spoil the ending!!

 Then the book is filled with recipes (from the story) with everything from sandwiches to drinks!!

 It's simple to follow with practical recipes you will use over & over.

 Jam packed with themes & ideas.

 Including a teddy bear picnic - yes please!!

 I'm now devoting my life to finding this pink pedestal, what a sweet way to present a meringue!!

 Now this Basic Butter Cake recipe is as close to my mother's i have ever tasted (perhaps my mummy was using Margaret Fulton's original??)  Printed with striped vintage straws, i love the layout, colour & quirky imagery in the book, page after page of pretty.

We left only crumbs . . . next time i'm doubling the batter as it is a fantastic school recess treat.

 Look at the inside back cover, see what i mean, scrummy.

Fancy a copy of this beautiful story cookbook in your kitchen library??  Just leave a comment at this post & please be a follower of my blog.  Winner drawn Friday 15th June, value $24.95, good luck!!  Love Posie

This was Product Talk by NuffNang.  Thanks!!

product talk: introducing . . . Uncle Tobys Simply Fruit Bars

Greetings all,

Welcome to product talk with Uncle Tobys Simply Fruit Bars.

  As a health & budget conscious mummy of 4 super active school children, i make, bake & grow as much as i can at home so i know exactly what is going into my children's bodies & we don't waste money on rubbishy snacks.

  Sometimes our fruit bowl is empty, the children are starving in the car & we're between school/ sports/ home, so a 'bar' from handbag comes to the rescue.

  Simply Fruit Bars are made in Australia from a blend of wholefoods . . . sultanas, apricots, oats, dried dates, orange & poppy seeds - all natural energy packed ingredients with good sugars & carbohydrates. Love a back-of-the-box which is easy to read!!

  They taste delicious & the flavours of the apricot, the texture of the sultanas & chewy dates + the 35gm size is perfect.

  Thanks Uncle Tobys & NuffNang for the Simply Fruit Bars, they'll be in my children's lunches & my handbag for when-hunger-strikes next.

  A tip for getting little ones to eat healthy foods - tell them their favourite toys eat them, nom nom nom, like our Love Monsters here, they gobble down Simply Fruit Bars by the box!! It's how i got my children eat onions - Shrek!!  FYI my children styled these product shots, including Blip the Robot photobombing.  Did they nail the 'money shot'??  I have a new respect for packaged food product photography & styling. 

  My children even suggested they'd be cool at a picnic & in party favour/ lolly bags!!

Now for the official word: product talk byNuffNang = i was sent an item to review, no payment, just talking with my mouth full . . . of Simply Fruit Bars!!  Thanks for listening, love Posie
