Warburtons Krazy Kitchen

You may have seen a fun campaign on Warburtons Facebook page in the last couple of weeks where two families have been challenged to create delicious tasting lunches, competing against each other whilst negotiating the crazy goings on in the kitchen with chickens creating havoc, Mexican musicians adding some spice and at one point feathers everywhere! It's Mum vs Mum, Dad vs Dad and in the final episode the kids compete using Warburtons Sandwich Thins to make a Chicken Supreme sandwich!




Lunchtime isn't so crazy in our house (my kids are 4 and 2, so they're not too varied in their sandwich filling choices!) but today using the ingredients that I was sent by Warburtons I created two of the recipes that appear in the Krazy Kitchen Gameshow; Chicken Supreme (featured in the video above) and Tex Mex Mayhem (this should have been done with wraps but I used Sandwich thins).

Check out these videos to see how to make them yourself. They were both so delicious and I will be making them again.

Tex Mex Mayhem (these will work better using wraps I think
 
 

 
 
I favoured the Tex Mex Mayhem as it had some real heat, something I don't usually think about doing in a sandwich - the sandwich thins were really tasty and they also didn't feel like a 'bread overload'! The recipe is as follows:
 
Tex Mex Mayhem
 
Ingredients:
Tablespoon of refried beans
handful of salad leaves
Half and avocado (original recipe said a quarter but I love avocado!)
Quarter of a red chilli - deseeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons of yoghurt (I didn't have this, so used mayo and not such a large quantity)
Drizzle of Olive Oil
Squeeze of fresh lime
Jalapenos from a jar
 
Method:
Mash up the avocado, lime, chilli and olive oil in a bowl
Lay out your wrap or in my case sandwich thin
Spread refried beans on one side
Top with salad leaves
And the Avocado mash up and the yogurt or mayo
then top it with a few jalapenos
Add the top part of your bread or wrap if you used wraps
 
Enjoy!!!
 
The final instalment of the Krazy Kitchen airs tomorrow so head over to the Warburtons facebook page to check it out: https://www.facebook.com/Warburtons
 
 
This is a sponsored post and I was sent the items to make two delicious sandwiches.

Warburtons Breakfast Products - Review


Warburtons have recently brought out some new breakfast products and a couple of Saturdays ago a big box arrived with the postman just in time for breakfast (he actually wanted to stay when I told him what was inside!).

We got to try Butter Brioche Rolls, Raisin Brioche Swirls, Chocolate Chip Loaf and Warburtons new White Plus Milk and Calcium Bread.
Starting with the patisserie style products, these were absolutely delicious. The brioche products come wrapped singly in cellophane, so no need to worry about opening the packaging for one brioche and the rest going a bit stale or also really handy for taking them out for a breakfast on the go. My personal favourite was the raisin brioche swirls, they were divine. They are filled with creme patisserie and are only 145 calories. They're quite small though, so two needed for my appetite!!

Isla liked the Chocolate Chip Loaf. We toasted it and put a bit of butter on and it was lovely. It really tastes nice and goes well with a cuppa. 

Little snack in the middle of crafting!
The butter Brioche rolls are just how you would expect them to be, they can be livened up with a bit of Choccy Philly I found!

Finally we tried the White Plus Milk and Calcium Bread. Apparently 2 slices of this bread a day gives you 50% of your RDA of calcium and it seems that according to recent research 60% of adults don't understand the importance of calcium in aiding bone development in the early years. The British obsession with dieting could be detrimental to the health of our children as people are misguided into banishing certain foods from their diets. White bread has been seen as a bit of a demon in recent times, but in fact it is a good source of calcium and by cutting it out of our diets we could be missing out on some vital nutrients.

Try the Warburtons ‘Calcium Calculator- Eat Well, Live Strong’ on Facebook: www.facebook.com/warburtons to see if you're eating enough calcium rich food per day.

All in all we loved these new products from Warburtons, they made a nice change from our staple breakfast of porridge and they obviously don't have to be confined to breakfast time, they're good for snacking on too.

We were sent a box of Warburtons Breakfast products to try free of charge. All opinions are my own.
