M&S Super Wholefood Salad
“Super wholefood salad with a mint vinaigrette” This isn’t my favorite salad in the M&S Super Wholefood line. It has loads of healthy stuff–edamame, chickpeas, pumpkin seeds, lentils–but it’s just not as flavorful as their other salads. As advertised, it’s very minty, but that’s all I wrote while taking my tasting notes. It would make […]
M&S Simply Fuller Longer Tomato & Basil Chicken with Couscous & Butternut Squash
“Tomato & basil chicken, couscous & butternut squash with a sweet balsamic dressing.” Sharon rule: When it comes to food prep, the less the better.

M&S Couscous & Roasted Vegetables
“Couscous & roasted vegetables with a lemon dressing.” This is definitely better than Tesco’s attempt at couscous.

I want this to be good because vegetarian sides (other than slaw) are rare at my Tesco. It even has beans, another rarity, but not many. It’s […]
