Woolworths Quick Cook Cut Potatoes Garlic and Rosemary Review

by Sports Benches

I thought I would give some ready-made potatoes from Woolworths to simply have it cooked onto the air fryer or an oven if you have one before it’s all good to eat. To get the best out of these frozen baked potatoes, make sure you cook in the air fryer at 195 degrees Celsius for a total of 20 minutes with flipping halfway through. Although it’s best that you don’t overfill them as this might not cook evenly once it’s done regardless of the cooking time & then you have to do it again a bit longer.

That way, it’s best to have some filled into the oven/baking tray unless you have a medium to large oven/air fryer appliance and these potatoes will look golden brown both ways so it tastes delicious. If you’re unable to upgrade your small oven/air fryer, don’t fret as putting them into small batches will still taste great as long as you follow the cooking process at the back.

With that being said, if you really need it for the lunch time or dinner rush on a typical busy day like this then this one is for you. Make sure you have these prepared though if you are going to be out and about way from home. I’d also pair it up with some nice meat as well as roasted vegetables and gravy too if that makes this one look so good in both ways (presentation & taste). This package also comes in Parmesan cheese and Herb and Garlic as these all cost $5 at your local Woolworths store.

Muscle Nation Custard Plant Protein Bar Choc Berry 50g Review

by Sports Benches

I’ve just thought it would be a great time to try out a plant-based or dairy-free version of the Cherry Ripe chocolate bar & fortunately, that wish has been realised today thanks to Muscle Nation after I bought one today at my local Coles store.

I might be a bit irked when the coconut flakes may have fallen everywhere but I understand that’s part of the presentation of the final piece. However, I do love how they made the a mix of the gooey cherry jam and the custard filling all on the inside together that makes this dairy-free/plant-based “cherry ripe” chocolate bar so great. I would have it most days of the week during my morning snack, even though it may be a bit pricey compared to the usual cherry ripe chocolate bar. 

Plus, it’s a protein bar even though it’s dairy-free and plant based, which is good for people like me and for those who are on a diet or need to use it to support their training/exercise program. So for kids, you can’t eat it until you’re 15 since it’s not your typical regular snack & for women who are currently pregnant, please consult your physician/doctor before trying this out. But again, I’ll see if there’s any way I can make a dairy free cherry ripe bar that is good to eat at home as a regular snack next time. For now, it’s on special only for a limited time at $3.60 & you can buy it at your local Coles store.

And finally, thanks to Muscle Nation for showcasing a dairy-free/plant-based/vegan “cherry ripe” chocolate. I do wish though that you can make a dairy-free/plant-based/vegan birthday cake bar too.

D’orsogna Deli Fresh Roast Chicken Free Range 100g $3 Woolworths special Review

by Sports Benches

Well, last week’s special review with the Don Is Good sliced ham, turkey and salami range when it was like $3.20 at the time has now gone back up to $6. So hope you enjoyed it while it lasted which tasted so good and can use it a bit longer for any topping you like want at anytime, especially when life is so busy to go through each passing day. If you missed out on this, don’t fret as got another sliced ham pack you can take advantage of right now at just $3 for the next few days as selected by Woolworths thanks to D’Orsgona, whose HQ for producing meat is over in the heart of Western Australia since 1949.

Now the number of slices in there might be halved compared to Don’s packaged sliced hams but they still taste well the same & you can even close and re-open the pack by itself for later or the next day too unlike most other sliced ham products. As said, there’s a few you can choose from for your perfect lunchtime meal such as Mild Salami, Double Smoked Ham, Free Range Chicken, Champagne Leg Ham, Lightly Smoked Leg Ham, Spicy Chorizo Salami, Sweet Honey Leg Ham & Lightly Smoked Turkey. There’s also a few recipes that can inspire you too that featured a few of their products whether if it’s pasta, sandwiches/wraps, salads or party snacks on the Woolworths website, so make sure you get one now at your local store.

Vege Vegan Prawn Crackers Sea Salt 75g Snack Review

by Sports Benches

Yesterday, I found out something interesting at my local Coles store where I fortunate to buy the last packet of the brand new Vegan Prawn Crackers Sea Salt flavour from Vege Chips. Unlike the prawn chips out there that has a bit of prawn meat & Crustacea, they are indeed dairy-free and egg free and it was so good to eat once I opened the packaging myself during my midday snack treat at home. I couldn’t believe they have these having last tasted prawn chips a long time ago but now I can enjoy tasting them again in a different way that suits one’s dietary requirements/limitations thanks to Vege Chips.

Although I’m aware that Vege also released their new fusions Asian crisps range (one in Corn & the other in Vege), but don’t think this is for me since it has onion and some chillies & spices on it. I can’t wait to buy them again next time whenever possible including the BBQ pack which also suits me well likewise with their usual chips range every now & then. Make sure you try it for yourself if you’re able to find one at your local Coles supermarket store at a special price right now of $3.15.

Sunity Herbal Jelly Red Bean and Coconut Milk Review

by Sports Benches

Here’s a sweet dessert you can have on the go or at home in none other than having red beans on it with Herbal Jelly from Sunity. Now it doesn’t have the liquid on the cup unlike most other herbal jelly products that you find at an Asian convenience store but what it comes up in order to have a brilliant taste is that you got a packet of coconut cream and honey as well as a mini plastic spoon When I tasted it, it wasn’t bad at 7 out of 10. Although I substituted honey with maple syrup which is my preferred way of tasting, but I do prefer eating the normal herbal jelly with the liquid on it – nothing else. As said, you can see it for yourself at an Asian supermarket near you which would be perfect for a morning or afternoon treat.

Homemade dairy & egg free with vegan egg corn fritters you can make at home

by Sports Benches

I found an amazing way that you can enjoy eating corn fritters that is not only dairy free but also egg free with the replacement of the vegan scrambled egg mix at home.

All you have to do is grab your small bowl out by adding some salt alongside a tablespoon of the vegan egg mix, two tablespoons or flour & 2-3 tablespoons of creamed corn or corn purée by mixing them up for 1-2 minutes.

Then coat some oil on a pan with low-medium heat by splitting a few pieces there by using a silicone spatula. Wait 2 minutes first before you turn the other side with a wooden spatula by letting it cook the other side for the other two minutes before it’s all golden brown & ready to eat!! It’s not just so easy to make but also delicious too that is great for snacks alongside some tomato sauce as well as those who seek a meat free/vegan diet.

See it for yourself when you can try your very own dairy free and egg free corn fritters at home!!

Homemade tater tots/potato gems that you can make on the air fryer at home

by Sports Benches

Here’s some homemade tater tots/potato gems that you can make & enjoy to eat at home! First of all, grab 1-2 potatoes or one large size potato by peeling the skin off before you grate them until it’s all been shredded.

Then squeeze the excess water and starch out with a cloth/paper towel onto the sink and transfer these shredded potatoes into a bowl along with some flour & a few sprinkles of salt. Mix them up as you can your hands to split and shape these into a bunch of tiny potato balls before you rest these tater tots in the fridge or freezer for about an hour. Now it’s time to throw a bunch of tater tots that you’ve made from scratch onto the air fryer & make sure you cook them first at 190 degrees for 10 mins before you toss them to the other side & have it cooked again for another 5-6 mins. And once these tater tots have been cooled down for a while (like after 5-10 mins), these excellent tiny potato balls are ready to eat! Yum!!

They’re even a fantastic match as a side dish with the homemade pizza I’ve made for lunch yesterday alongside the tomato and avocado topping & also the homemade pizza sauce inside it with a mix of both tomato paste & tomato sauce!

Homemade air-fryer Pizza recipe that you can make at home

by Sports Benches

Here’s an air-fryer pizza recipe that you can make at home by starting off with 2 x 1/8 teaspoons or simply 1 x 1/4 teaspoon of nutritional yeast as well as close to 1/4 cup of warm water & 1/4 teaspoons of sugar onto a bowl. Make sure you mix them well before cover the yeast for a while between 30 mins-1 hour,

Then add 1/2 cup of flour (and continue to add a few teaspoons to it as long as it’s no longer sticky), 1/2 teaspoons of oil and some salt on top of the activated yeast by kneading it for a few minutes before you coat the pizza dough with another few drops of oil and cover it again up to one hour in order for this to rise.

That’s the simpler way to begin with if you’re not sure for beginners as found another method to make the pizza base without using another separate bowl. All you have to do is apply the same yeast method as above before you add the required wet and dry ingredients combined to make up one good looking pizza dough & again, just wait for this to rest & rise for a while.

After the dough has doubled in size for a little over an hour or two, you can shape the dough up using your hands and/or rolling pin to fit around the pizza tray size of your choice at home including the circle edges with some more sprinkles of flour.

Now it’s time for the cooking process to begin and in order for the pizza crust to taste really good on both sides is you first cook the bottom part without any sauce and toppings alongside some oil at 185-190 degrees celsius for the first ten minutes in order to make things crispy. Then flip it over by adding whichever sauce and toppings you like (which will take a while) before coating a bit of oil back onto the air fryer for another ten minutes. You can see some crispiness on both sides of the crust including the middle when cut with all those yeasty stuff once the pizza comes out of the air fryer!

And that is it after letting the pizza cool for a while before it’s ready to eat! This is what makes homemade pizza recipes look so good, having done more than few times now, You can have it for lunch and if you want to have another pizza the next day, cut the dough in half before you save it into the fridge by covering it up with a plastic wrap. When you’re ready, repeat the above same ready dough prep/air fryer process & your pizza will still be good to eat without having to order one elsewhere!!
