"MATT'S MUNCHIES" GIVE-AWAY!

Good Morning and HAPPY MONDAY! I hope you are all having a great Australia Day long weekend! We had a fun Australia Day as we headed to my sisters place (just up the road within walking distance)….

Me with my 4 munchkins (and potato salad!)

played some backyard cricket….

Love the action shot! – what a fun way for family to spend quality time together!

and a “slip n slide” (spur of the moment for us adults!)

SO much fun! My sister and I laughed SO much that we decided once a month whilst the kids were at school we would do this for a bit of “relaxation therapy!”

It was a glorious sunny day and of course any gathering that involves me and my sister means that loads of wonderful food was prepared and eaten also….I made the Potato Salad (from COTC) and then she also had a garden salad, a roast lamb (cooked on the BBQ), Moroccan Chicken (from COTC) and for dessert she did Lamingtons (from COTC FOR KIDS) and a  Pavlova …… what an Aussie Day Feast!

Our Feast!

Now we are settling in to the rain that just hasn’t stopped…I hope wherever you are, you are safe in these horrible weather conditions that are around different parts of Australia at the moment.

This week I am bringing you another GIVE-AWAY! YAY! I met a beautiful lady, Amelia from Just Snacks,  last year when we had stalls next to each other at the Sydney Gluten Free Expo. I had never seen these “Matt’s Munchies”  products before and was really impressed with them as a tasty snack. I have bought them ever since as they are not only something I can eat with all of my allergies (Island Mango is by far my FAVOURITE!) but they are perfect to throw in your handbag, for long road trips or for a “taste” of something sweet when I am having late night sugar cravings….it is hard for me to stop at one little piece, however, they are so yummy that one little piece does satisfy!

Amelia’s company “Just Snacks” is going ahead in leaps and bounds since introducing new products….here is some more information on “Just Snacks” and what they have to offer…

“Amelia”

WRITTEN BY AMELIA: My reason for starting snacks business is that my son has food allergies and my daughter is a fussy eater so I found it difficult to find snacks suitable for both of them as I wanted to give them variety of choices within 100% natural and gluten-free range. 

As a family-owned Australian company, we searched for a product to import, wholesale and distribute that was gluten-free; dairy-free; had no artificial colours, flavours and preservatives. We wanted a snack low in calories and most importantly, fantastic tasting. So when we discovered Matt’s Munchies, we thought – this is it – the perfect product in every way! As a huge bonus, Matt’s Munchies are also certified organic by the USDA and Kosher – and are now available here in Australia!

We then found more great healthy snacks in the US and brought them to Australia, and also added some Australian snacks. 

Jennies Macaroons are soft, moist and delicious and they are made from simple ingredients, coconut, egg whites and organic cane syrup with honey. They are a gluten-free favorite for people living on a wheat-free diet and are Kosher Parve. And they have never contained dairy, sulfites, nuts, transfats or preservatives. The Jennies not only taste great, but they are also a healthy energy boost loaded with coconut, a nutritional powerhouse! Rich in lauric acid and “medium-chain triglycerides,” or MCT’s, coconut is the best form of fat for cellular health. Experts have shown that coconut aids digestion and the immune system.

Crunchies are a healthy, convenient preservative-free snack food without added sugar, artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Crunchies are also gluten-free and Kosher Parve. Fruits can be eaten as a snack, or put in hot or cold cereal, yogurt, or pancake and waffle batter. Veggies can be eaten as a snack or sprinkled over your salads for added vitamins and nutrients! Available today in a wide variety of deliciously nutritious flavors, Crunchies® are produced by placing individually frozen fruits and veggies in a refrigerated vacuum chamber that removes up to 97% of the moisture. This assures consumers of a uniquely crunchy treat that retains virtually all of its nutrients and enzymes – unlike conventional heat drying methods – while still maintaining its shape and intensifying its flavor.

Puff-O’s™ are the first certified organic and gluten free extruded snack to be made in Australia. ORSNACO™ is owned by Yarra Valley Snack Foods located in Victoria. Only finest quality corn, potatoes and beetroot is choosen for all Yarra Valley Snack Foods product, from a select group of Australia’s leading growers to produce the highest quality, most natural and best-tasting snacks on the market. Their experience, and unwavering commitment to strict quality control procedures ensures all raw ingredients are received and processed in a timely fashion to deliver superior products destined to excite and delight your senses.
