Eat Better, Live Better

CompareSupermarketPrices.com — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 13:18:13 +0000

The end of August is upon us, and before the onslaught of a new term at school or college hits many households, it’s time to step back and take a look at how naughty we were food-wise over the summer. And time to think about ways we can get back on the straight and narrow…

We’re not sure what you’ve been up to, but we’ll be the first to admit to an excess of alcohol (aaah, those lovely summery evenings out in the back garden, sipping a glass or two of wine) and some generous helpings of ice cream. But at least we’ve also had a chance to make amends and get out and stretch the legs a bit. Even if it was just strolling down the road to our local!

With the kids going back to school it means ‘bye bye’ to their summer sugar fest and ‘hello’ to a little more say over what they eat. Of course, this means healthy food options in their school lunchbox, including cereal bars, good old fashioned fruit, such as the energy packed banana, and fruit yogurts.

It’s just a shame we don’t apply some of that dietary control to ourselves, as according to recent government stats it’s us parents that seem to be letting the side down. It appears us Brits are heading ever closer to the over-sized American way of life.

There are no excuses; we all know that we should be eating better. So maybe we should just start living better. Let’s face it, with the kids returning to school, it’s almost like having another crack at our New Year’s resolutions, especially for those of us who have strayed.

And it really only takes a few small things to make an impact. For example, pack some more fruit and vegetables into your daily routine. Eat less (you could, for example, eat on smaller plates to trick your brain into thinking you’re scoffing down a bigger meal than you actually are) and just slow that chewing down (another good way to trick the brain).

At mySupermarket we’re also here to help give healthier suggestions. For example, when you start shopping check out our Health Checker, which will let you swap similar items for lower calories.

So, are you eating better? Living better? And if so, how?

Overpowering Those Kitchen Odours!

CompareSupermarketPrices.com — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 12:08:19 +0000

So, what’s your favourite kitchen smell?

In our opinion, there’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh bread baking in the oven, or onions and garlic sizzling away in the frying pan. These odours can surely drive a sane man bonkers – or at least have him ready to devour a horse, hooves included!

But what about those odours we’d rather our noses never had to confront? You know the ones we’re talking about, those powerful aromas that hit us as we open up the fridge door, the half-full dishwasher or overflowing rubbish bin. Those odours that make us step back in horror, hand over mouth, wondering just what could be the source of that awful stench.

So in honour of all things stinky, we’ve written up a quick guide on how to banish those nasty odours forever from four of the main kitchen culprits. And if these tips don’t work for you, it might be time to go out and buy some air fresheners…

Culprit	Our top tip for banishing nasty odours
The Fridge	Soak a cotton ball in vanilla essence (or lemon juice or used coffee grounds if you prefer a different smell), and put it in a small dish near the bottom of the fridge. When dry, replace. Some people also swear by slices of raw potato to soak up the smells.
The Rubbish Bin	Get some decent bin bags, the ones that hold lots and that won’t split easily. Most of the awful odours you’ll come across will be because of garbage that has seeped though to the bottom of the bin. Ewww.
The Dishwasher	If it takes a few days to fill up your dishwasher, then run a light eco-rinse when half-full, even without any dishwasher powder. The steam will remove most of the food. If the stench doesn’t go, have a crack at cleaning out all the filters and parts on the bottom, as something could be stuck.
The Garbage Disposal	Boil up some water and tip it down the disposal while it’s grinding. This should get those blades unclogged and clean. To help keep those odours away, occasionally throw down some ground lemon peels and ice cubes..

Got any hot tips you’d like to share?

Five Must Have Footie Foods!

CompareSupermarketPrices.com — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 14:01:53 +0000

So, in case you missed it (we doubt it, what with the hype and TV promos bombarding us over the last week or so!), this weekend saw the start of the new Premier League season.

Despite it seeming like only two minutes ago we were talking about the World Cup, the new football season is once again upon us. We’re not sure what that means for your household, but we can safely assume that across the nation the male side of the average family has been getting a wee bit more excitable.

[sob] In the meantime, the less footie mad side of the family weeps silently into her glass of white wine while nibbling on some biscuits, after hearing that David Beckham will no longer be pulling on the England shirt… [end of sob]

To quench those munchies and thirst for something cold and liquid every time there’s a match on the telly, we’ve come up with a list of five must haves in your fridge or cupboard to keep your favourite footie fans happy.

It goes without saying, but make sure there’s a few beers and lagers for the thirsty elders. Nice and cold, of course.
The tried and tested crisps are always a winner. With an amazing range of flavours to choose from these days, you can’t really go wrong. Bear in mind that multi-packs will give maximum bang for your buck.
A healthier alternative to crisps could be some cashews, roasted peanuts or even some pistachio nuts. Mix and match and place on a tray, and Bob’s Yer Uncle.
Another interesting alternative to crisps could be some onion rings, perhaps even with a dip of some sort. Well worth a try, and not too exotic.
And how about some Mexican goodies, like some Burritos or Fajitas? More and more popular these days, and a great partner for a cold bottle of lager.

Remember you can fill up your fridge or cupboard for the new footie season much cheaper through mySupermarket.

What do the footie fans in your house insist on having in the fridge?

5 Ways to Banish those Fussy Eater Blues!

CompareSupermarketPrices.com — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 19:57:08 +0000

Most parents have experienced it, and even if you don’t have any children you’ll probably recall the days when your parents valiantly tried to force those healthy green beans down you. More than likely they were also doing their best to entertain you to take your mind off those evil, cunning vegetables.

Oh yes, fussy eaters. Frustrating for parents, as we worry about our kids getting some decent nutrition and their 5 A DAY, and frustrating for kids, as they develop their own independence and taste buds, and just long for that jelly and ice cream to come!

So as the summer holiday rolls on and the days when we send them back to school appear further away than ever, here are five ways to help banish those fussy eater blues:

Invite one of their friends round for tea who you know eats well. Shower the friend with praise and delight at how he/she eats their carrots, peas or potatoes. Peer pressure at full speed!
Let your children become part of the shopping process. Let them choose the fruit and vegetables, wash them at home and even plonk them (the food, not your kids!) in the saucepan together. Audience participation is crucial!
Tell your kids how big and strong all those greens will make them. Kids always love to know they’re getting bigger.
If it’s getting to be too much, try a change of scenery. Set up a small table with chairs and get their favourite toys to sit and watch them eat, or even set up a toy tent indoors.
Relax, and don’t make a fuss. There’s a good chance that over the day they’re getting their proper intake of nutrition. So let them eat at their own pace and if they start auditioning for an Oscar, try and remain calm. Forcing them to eat just isn’t going to work.

Remember you can banish those fussy eater blues much cheaper through mySupermarket.

Can’t Wait for the Kids’ Summer Hols to End?

CompareSupermarketPrices.com — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 10:31:06 +0000

You’re not alone…

As the end of the summer holidays draws a little nearer (just a little), we’re sure there are more than a few mums and dads out there that are starting to breathe a little easier. Those six to eight weeks of constantly finding the kids something to do takes its toll on the best of us. And when we have to keep an eye out for all that chocolate, crisps, lollies and soft drinks they consume (in alarmingly copious amounts – sometimes you’d think we have a pack of hyenas to provide for, rather than a couple of hungry kids!), then for some of us, the summer holidays can’t come to an end soon enough!

Perhaps the biggest reason for being happy campers again come September time is that we can once again have some sort of control over what they put into their mouths.

Yes, that lunchbox we pack them off to school or nursery with can store a lot of healthy goodness, and also help banish memories of that summer sugar fest. Now we can give our kids some fantastically healthy options, both timeless and exotic, such as bananas, kiwis or nectarines, that are still fun and add a flash of colour to lunch.

If we get really creative we can even have them chomping on wholemeal rolls filled with tuna or cheese or peanut butter (with no added sugar), and have them polish it off with a fruit-filled yogurt, some dried fruit or even a fruit salad.

We say, roll on September!

And yes, lots more on the blog to come about adding some healthy options to your kids’ lunchbox…that also add a little wow factor!

Add Energy to Your Day

CompareSupermarketPrices.com — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 14:37:44 +0000

With the days at their longest, and with the air a bit hotter, you might be feeling that you just can’t get through a whole day, whether you’re in an office or taking care of the kids while they’re on holiday. Here are some tips to keep you going all day long.

Although getting a good night’s sleep and minimising stress are both important, food has more of an impact on our energy levels than most people think. What you eat can make a big difference on whether you bounce around getting things done, or slump in a chair convinced you can’t get up.

One of the best ways to avoid a midday low is to start the day off with the right kind of breakfast. Foods which are high in protein, such as eggs, can help perk you up for a long time, because the body takes a while to break them down, meaning that the energy gets released slowly. Similarly, whole grain cereals or oatmeal, with milk for calcium and some fresh fruit for added taste and natural sugar, make an excellent start to the day.

Don’t rely on caffeine to get you through the day. Although there’s nothing wrong with a soothing mug of tea or coffee if you enjoy the taste, the caffeine won’t keep you going for long, and will quickly become increasingly less effective, meaning that you need to drink more and more of it just to stay at the same level.

Instead, try slower burning foods that won’t give you an instant high, but won’t leave you feeling low afterwards either. Pasta, potatoes and vegetables are all slow-burning carbs that will give you energy over a relatively long period of time. A lunch of pasta salad with some vegetables mixed in or on the side, perhaps with pesto or tuna, might be just the thing to keep you going.

It’s also useful to keep snacks on hand for when you need a little bit of a pick me up. Buying them in advance will stop you dashing out for an unhealthy chocolate bar, or something from an expensive corner shop. Nuts like almonds or cashews, and seeds such as sunflower seeds, can be delicious during the day, and are great for when you need an energy boost.

Make sure to drink enough during the day as well. In summer it’s especially easy to forget this, and if you get dehydrated you’ll feel more lethargic and unable to get on with things. Regular glasses of water will make sure this doesn’t happen.

Whichever foods you choose to boost your energy throughout the day, remember you can buy them cheaper through mySupermarket.
