ENTERTAINING THE EASY WAY WITH SUMMER FRESH GIVEAWAY #HOLIDAYGIFTS2014

Holiday entertaining is a treat, I love bustling around gathering ingredients for dinners and decorating for our guests. That feeling I get when I’m in the last minute stages is wonderful, I usually have Christmas music playing as I work in kitchen to get me into the mood. While I adore all of this, the fact is that life is busy and I just don’t always have the time or the energy to make everything from scratch. I have become quite health conscious with my foods, so when I’m looking for pre-made foods I am on the hunt for fresh choices which don’t use preservatives. One of my favourite choices for pre-made foods is Summer Fresh. Each and every time I serve Summer Fresh, my guests are instantly WOWed.

Summer Fresh is a Canadian family-owned company who truly believe in providing real food for real life times when people want to be doing other things. Products range from salads, dips, fresh sauces to hummus. Summer Fresh.

This Christmas season, I’ll be serving some of the Summer Fresh Topped Hummus to my guests. It’s always a hit with our friends and I take comfort in the fact that there are no artificial preservatives, colours, or flavours..
