{LIFESTYLE } Gutsy Green - Is it worth it ? My mini review on my first meal week


Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday. Hope you are having a great week so far.

Today I have a bit of a lifestyle post for you guys - and it is all about food. Yum ! A little while ago I discovered a great company called GutsyGreen that delivered all the ingredients to make amazing meals at home .

The site is pretty fool proof - you decide on the package you need ( I got the one for 4 people ) and the meals you would like. You can pick the ones that's recommended according to your dietary preferences or pick the ones you would like to try. In my case I picked three meals . They have different options so the choices are endless. What I love most is YOU get to pick what you would like to eat based on any lifestyle preferences. They have classic meals , vegetarian and low carb meals.

The ingredients gets delivered in the exact pre-portioned fresh ingredients on Mondays - and the recipes are pretty easy to use and make. You can also choose to skip a week .. and decide when YOU want them to deliver. Which is a huge bonus. I love how all the nutritional info is on the recipe card too - making it perfect for those who would like to watch calories but still eat yummy healthy food.


Today I'm sharing my first weekly meal box I got and my thoughts on the food I got.



Updated Steak and Potatoes with Fennel Good old Steak and Potatoes! We love this age old classic and tonight we’re adding our own little spin on things with this utterly divine dish of since rubbed sirloin steaks seared and served with some amazing sides. Baked potatoes are taken to new heights as they are topped with sour cream and crispy bacon bits and served alongside some fragrant roasted fennel. Simple, yet elegant and super sophisticated. Your’e in for a treat!

This was such an amazing meal. The portion sizes are HUGE . I loved making this and it was such a perfect meal. The food went perfectly together and I love how yummy the sour cream was for the potatoes. Everything was pretty easy to make - which is a bonus because while I love cooking - I don't like spending to much time in the kitchen. The best part was the smoked crispy bacon bits to use for the potatoes. This one is definitely worth trying if you want to order.

Lemon Butter Crispy Chicken with Fresh Pomegranate and Rocket Salad

Crispy pan fried chicken breasts infused with lemon butter for the most sensationally crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, Winter winner of a meal. Served with a fresh side salad of peppery rocket, Parmesan cheese, baby tomatoes and sweet pomegranate pips, this dish proves again how quick and easy a delicious meal can be.

While I love a good steak , my favourite is always chicken. Again , this meal was super duper easy to put together in no time and I love how healthy and yummy it was. The salad was pretty unique - Rocket and pomegranate salad . This one was super yummy and perfect for the calorie conscience too. The salad portion was huge - and it was such a nice and filling salad.
Beef Rump Steaks with Potato Balls
Meaty rump steaks served with blistered baby tomatoes and crispy Parmesan potato balls. Topped with a rich onion, thyme and cream sauce, the flavours and textures of this dish work beautifully together.













All I can say is - this meal was the most fun to make for me and learnt me so many new things.  I loved making a sauce from scratch (which I have never done before ) and the potato balls was such an easy recipe - but gives you so much inspiration to try things outside the box. . Again - the portions are really decent and I will be making some more potato balls in the future for dinners - they are super yummy.







If you'd like to try out this amazing service - you can use my referral link - You will get 50% off your first box (making it so much more worthwhile to try - GutsyGreenReferalLink and give me some credits for some money off my future orders.

I will be trying some new meals in a week's time and start making some regular posts to share some yummy new recipes I'm making.

    This sounds like an amazing website! I love the fact that the meals are already portioned so you go straight to cooking - no prepping! While I love cooking I dread prepping (cutting onions and mincing garlic are my least favorites!). :)

      It really was. I think we sometimes get stuck in a rut and this helped me feel more inspired when cooking.

      I mostly do the cooking on the weekends too , as I live with my parents and little guy and work too late on most week nights . But this worked perfectly for me on those nights that I did have a little more time on hand.

    Sounds like great idea for busy people, who wants to eat something healthy. Personally I love cooking and to be honest, I don't bother to spend 1-2 hours in kitchen at all. :)
    Take care, Lynette :)

Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer Review and Wear Test

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? Today I will be sharing my review on the Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer . I have worn this quite a few times since buying the product - so I have a pretty good idea how it preforms. The colour I got was a typical Lynette colour - The Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer in Donut Worry be Happy. This is such a gorgeous fun pink colour. The range does have quite a few colour options - and what I do like about the range is that no top coat is needed. So while I always top coat polish or gel polishes - I didn't when I tested this out. Since I did mention I have worn it quite a few times - I always wore it without top coat. The polish dries amazingly fast - and is dry enough to not make dent marks on it within 20 minutes. Which I think is pretty impressive for a polish without top coat. The brush is on the thicker side - making the polish super easy to apply. I prefer nailpolish brushes like this since it's mostly just one swipe on each ...

CATRICE TREATMENTS SERUM REVIEW

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How was your week? I totally lost a day with the public holidays and Easter Weekend threw into the mix ... I was pretty convinced today was actually Tuesday. As I mentioned in my New on my Beauty Desk post in February - I got a few Catrice serums from their new range to try out. In total I picked up the Hydro serum as well - so today I will give you a rundown on the three serums I chose from the range to my routine.  Overall - I have a pretty good idea of which ones I love - which ones are good and which ones I'm not 100% sold on.  CATRICE HYDRO PLUMPING SERUM  This serum contains 1.5 %  hyaluronic acid and panthenol to plumps up the skin as well as have a soothing effect on the skin. Hyaluronic acid is well known to hydrate the skin and absorbs easily into the skin super quickly. I love using Hyaluronic Acid in the morning before applying make-up as it gives me a hydrated base to work with. Honestly, while I did enjoy using this serum - I d...
