Since the start of the year David and I have been trying to eat more healthily

We would both like to get fitter and lose some weight

I am not a great cook

We had fallen into a rut of eating a small selection of meals on rotation

Including fajitas sometimes three times in one week!

I looked at the theory behind slimming world

Combined it with what I know about the Dukan diet

And we are slowly

Often a little half heartedly changing the way we eat

We are definitely trying to cook and eat a wider variety of foods

And we have been helped

Inspired in fact

In recent weeks

by Schwartz

We were sent a few Schwartz products to use in our cooking

I have tried and enjoyed a Fajita Flavour Shot

Some Fajita Perfect Shake

And my favourites Garlic Salt and Paprika

I grew up in Germany

Where chips from the Schnell Imbiss are served sprinkled with paprika

We rarely eat chips at home

But when we do I love to have them tossed in paprika

And dipped in mayonnaise

Using Schwartz Paprika on my pomme frites

Has been like a taste of home

I have also used paprika together with a pinch of garlic salt

To flavour wholegrain rice

Ready to be eaten with king prawns for a light lunch

Using Schwartz herbs and spices allows me to flavour our food

Without the use of fattening sauces

If you have never browsed the Shwartz website

I really recommend that you do

It is full to bursting with flavoursome products

Recipe ideas and inspiration

Using Schwartz products gave me the confidence to make my first carbonara from scratch

I used a Slimming World recipe

So it was low fat as well as delicious

Making it very popular in our house

I will definitely be making it again

We have spiced up our stir fries with Schwarz

Trying cajun style beef and turkey

And mexican chicken

And more oriental flavours too

We eat a lot of rice and noodles in our house

Or meals are vegetable rich

Schwartz helps to make our evening meals much tastier

With their dry herbs and spices

And the oil based flavour shots

Which brings us back to fajitas

Schwartz Fajita flavour shot is a great way to make fajitas

Cook your meat and chosen veg in this sunflower oil based shot

For sizzling spice and flavour

We added chilli flakes for extra heat

The result was delicious

So many dishes

Lunches and dinners

Flavoured with Schwartz

For perhaps the first ever time

I am excited about cooking

And experimenting with flavour
