Summer Fruit and Veg Programme From the Orchard @ Tesco

I decided to use the rest of my salad goods which I purchased with my coupon from the Orchard at Tesco for the Summer Fruit and Veg from Tesco programme to make chicken kebabs.

I used Red, Orange and Yellow Peppers with Mushrooms and Chicken fillets to make my kebabs which I cooked under the grill for about 10 minutes until cooked through and served them on a bed of salad containing shredded Iceberg Lettuce, thinly sliced Spring Onions and Peppers.

The Peppers and Mushrooms on the Kebabs were simply awesome cooked to perfection and as fresh as the day that I had bought them as well as the Lettuce and Spring Onions.

What I found really good about the Peppers that I bought was - there were no nasty green, bitter Peppers in the pack, it’s probably the first time I have ever bought a pack of Peppers that doesn't have one in, and when they do have one in I always end up throwing it in the bin! #TriedForLess

After being chosen to take part in the Summer Fruit and Veg from Tesco programme from the Orchard at Tesco I decided to use my £3 coupon to purchase salad goods because the weather has been so hot lately.

With my coupon I purchased a 3 pack of Peppers, Spring Onions, Mushrooms, a Cucumber, Salad Tomatoes and an Iceberg Lettuce and only had to put about 50p towards them.

So I made a lovely summer salad with crumbed Ham, hard boiled Eggs, *finest Coleslaw and some Haslet bought from the Deli counter from Tesco.

Well, everything I had purchased was in perfect condition and full of flavour, in fact it was as though everything I had purchased had been freshly harvested the same day that I had purchased it, it was all very tasty and crisp and went down well with myself and my other half.

I will definitely be purchasing fresh fruit and vegetables from Tesco in the future and would highly recommend them as well.#TriedForLess

*finest Williams Pear & Pecan Tarts

After trying an excellent *finest Sicilian Lemon Tart from Tesco I decided to try another one of the desserts in the *finest range and when shopping earlier today I spotted Williams Pear & Pecan Tarts priced at £3 for a pack of two, which I didn't think was too expensive so I thought I would try these next.

Made with all Butter pastry, which you can certainly tell, it was so buttery and perfectly cooked.

They were filled with a lovely caramel sauce, almond frangipane and topped with slices of Williams pears and a light sprinkling of pecan nuts and once again the filling was really good and all worked very well together, the taste was amazing and I can’t believe I haven’t tried these before now.

I’ve never tried Pecan Nuts before so this was a first for me, they were beautiful and tasty and the crunchiness complimented the softness of the frangipane and pear filling perfectly.

These little tarts are definitely one to add to the weekly shopping list and I would definitely recommend them. #TriedForLess

Tesco *finest Chilled and Frozen Desserts from the Orchard at Tesco

I got invited to the finest* Chilled and Frozen Desserts programme from the Orchard at Tesco and received a coupon for £3 to use against any product from the range mentioned above.

I decided to use my coupon against a *finest Sicilian Lemon Tart priced at £3 so i got it for free and decided to serve it with some fresh Tesco value Strawberries and double cream.

I have never tried this Tart before and with it being a Tesco *finest product I was expecting it to be very good, well I certainly wasn't disappointed, it really was excellent.

The all butter pastry was cooked to perfection - rich, crumbly and extremely tasty, the filling was really nice, not too sweet and had a lovely zingy lemon taste to it

This was a really good Dessert to try and I highly recommend it and will certainly be buying many more of these in the future. #TriedForLess.
