  • Great treats!

    Fruits and juice and fruits in jelly is on my weekly shopping list! My 4 year old son loves them. Even better is that there only $2.50 for the pack of 4. These make for a good choice is lunchboxes. My ds4 takes them to kinder for snack time every week. He loves the 2 fruits in juice or the peaches in juice the most! Highly recommend to other MOM fans.

  • Woolworths berry and white choc oat slice bar

    I brought these for my kids as a quick easy snack to grab out of the pantry and after hearing al my kids say how yummy they were I had to try one myself. The pack soon disappeared as my husband even thought they were ready nice too. Will definitely purchase again.

  • Easy Peasy Lunch Box Treats

    These products were a great and easy addition to the kids lunch box. The diced fruits were a big hit and really handy to have in the cupboard if I haven\\\’t had a chance to get to the shops for frest fruit. The kids loved the fruit in jelly and when I wasn\\\’t looking, would eat them for breakfast!!
    My eldest loved the oat bars and will be eating them again. My youngest did not like them as much – I think she wanted more chocolate or sugar – she is a big lover of chocolate.
    I will buy them again and will also try out some other products for thei lunch boxes.
    Thanks.

  • perfect snack or lunchbox treat

    Woolworths Oat Slice Bars are great value. With 12 to a box you can get a fortnights worth of luchboxes plus have a couple leftover.
    Miss 5 had the mixed berry flavour in her lunch box today and said it was the first thing she ate. She loved it!
    Hubby also says they are a great mid morning snack to take to work.

    Woolworths Fruit in Juice and Fruit in Jelly are also great value and the Fruit in Jelly comes with their own little spoons! Perfect for lunchboxes.
    Miss 5 loves the Fruit in Jelly as it feels like a treat, but is also a great way to sneak some fruit in.
    Mr 1 loves his Fruit in Juice as a treat after dinner.
    I feel like the Fruit in Jelly would be a better option to take to school as it isn’t as liquid as the Fruit in Juice.

    All are great options at great prices and I would highly recommend them to other mums.

  • Great price, great buy

    After being chosen to review the product, I was a bit excited as I always buy ‘boring’ lunchbox choices…after purchasing the Oat Slice Bars, Fruits In Juice and Fruits In Jelly, DD was quite excited. She thoroughly enjoyed the Fruits In Juice and Fruits In Jelly cups. She loved at Oat Slice Bars, and I have to admit, I loved them too!

  • Who doesn't love Jelly?

    Ok so we have everyone’s favourite which is Jelly but say you want to be a little bit healthy with your treat so throw in some fruit. I personally like strawberry and peaches. It’s a great price and quality does not decrease to match price. Very yummy and affordable.

  • Makes packing lunch easy

    We love the oat slices and fruits in jelly. We weren’t that big a fan of them on juice though as my 5 yo made a big mess. Definitely buying again. It makes the morning school rush so easy as packing lunch is simple. Just add a sandwich and a piece of fruit and veggies cut up and your done.

    The fruit in jelly and fruit in Juice were a perfect addition to the kids lunch box in this heat and the fruit bars helped keep their tummies full. We all loved the taste and flavours. These have now become a staple in our lunch boxes

  • Yummy!

    We reviewed the Choc Brownie Oat Slices, Pineapple in juice, Peaches in juice, Apple in Pineapple Jelly & Peaches in Mango Jelly. Both the Oat Slice & the Fuits in juice were a big hit in our family. Unfortunately, the Fruits in Jelly were a bit of a miss for us. Both of my kids thought the jelly tasted weird. I probably wouldn’t put any of thes products on my kids lunch as our school has a ‘nude’ lunch policy, but for after school snacks & the weekend they are great! Very good value for money, we will definitely be buying the Oat Slices & the Fruits in Juice again.

  • Tasty little treats

    We were lucky enough to try the Choc Brownie Oat Slice, Apples in Pineapple Jelly, Peaches in Mango Jelly, Pineapple in juice & Peaches in juice. Miss Seven gave the Choc Brownie Oat Slive the big thumbs up. We’ll definitely be buying these again. She thought two fruit in juice products were just as good as the other one we usually but it’s much better value for money! Unfortunately, Miss Seven was not was not a big fan of the fruits in jelly. She thought the jelly tasted a bit weird & was too hard.

  • Yummy lunchbox options

    My children preferred the Woolworths two fruits in tropical flavoured jelly. It was a quick and easy addition to their lunch boxes, and a tasty one at that! Not only are they selling at a very reasonable and affordable price, it comes in a 4 pack. My children and I all enjoyed the flavours of the Woolworths oven baked pat slice (mixed berry with white chic chips) also a very affordable product, that comes in a 12 pack to help fill up little lunch boxes for the week. I was very happy overall with all products we tested.

    My son likes the Woolworths fruit salad in juice cups…but unfortunately his primary school have banned these fruit cups/fruit jellies products in the school lunch box. But it was a good treat for afternoon snack or when camping, travelling etc.

  • Loved by kids big and small

    My three year old daughter loves all of the fruit in juice flavours and surprisingly prefers the berry oat bars over the chocolate ones. She will happily snack on either. I like all of the fruits in juice and jelly as well as the oat bars. They all taste healthy enough and balance a lunch box well, but are still enjoyable to eat. The mango fruit in mango jelly is a hit with my big kid but I would buy any flavour of these products as they are all great. The price point is very reasonable compared to other brands. They are winners!!!

  • Approved by fussy eaters.

    The chocolate brownie oat slices went quick, the favourite of the two slices, I loved the 12 pack at a great price, plus the oats helped them feel fuller for longer so less grazing. The kids liked the plain fruits but complained about the fruit in jelly, it would be great to see a plain jelly option. When my kids want jelly they like the texture so don’t want bits of fruit in it. My 3 little fussy eaters were happy with all of these products but the brownie oat slice was the clear favourite. Will be buying that one every week.

  • Tasty snacks we'll eat again as treats

    I was excited to trial both oat bars and fruit cups. My children especially loved the choc brownie bars and the fruit cups. The amounts of sugar for all products, except the fruit in juice, was higher than the <15g/100g that's recommended by the nsw government so I don't plan on purchasing these for daily lunch box consumption. However they're great when you don't have time and need a quick solution. The fruit cups were too hard for my young children to open on their own, so needed to be transferred into another container to take to preschool. However one loved the fruit in jelly and one loved the fruit in juice so we found they were a keenly eaten as dessert after dinner too.

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • We often have homemade pizza nights aka fakeaway night! And my pizza is always on a low carb Pizza base with roasted and sundried tomato and capsicum. My fav combo with grilled chicken and a swirl of peri peri mayonnaise! Making our own is always better than takeaway versions and healthier!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.
