I HAVE FOUND THE SECRET TO GUILT-FREE SNACKING!
I’m a bit bummed that I couldn’t think of a
better one-liner than that. I mean, I did build it up a bit with the
Google search engine declaration, right?
My apologies. I’ll do better next time.
Maximum yumness. My official (and totally dictionary worthy) professional opinion.
You should be grateful that I’ve removed my
hand from the bag long enough to even write this review.
And I’m not just spruiking the awesomeness of this
product because I got it for free. I've since purchased a number of bags for myself the kids. Table of Plenty Mini Rice Cakes really are scrumptious.

Table of Plenty rice cakes are also versatile.

Mummy can't see youuuuu! She's too busy being a twat in the park and ruining her public image of uber coolness. |
They also make for excellent public humiliation at crowded parks engaging childhood entertainment. Eat your heart out Wiggles, with your multiple characters, and Hi5 with your ever-changing cast. All it took me was two dark chocolate mini rice cakes for eyes.
Table of Plenty Mini Rice Cakes are a new product that combines the much loved snack-time treat that is the rice cake, with a smooth and creamy topping. All conveniently sized to pop in your mouth in one go - before the kids even realise you're eating something and they start demanding some, thereby requiring you to share.
As a parent, it’s a guilt-free snack
alternative. There’s only so many times you can lamely shove an
apple at your kid and tell them “that’s
it!”. My kids are all about the chocolate. Chocolate,
lollies, and potato chips.
While I rarely ever give in, it means I waste a lot of money
on healthy snack items that I’m hoping to tempt them with in lieu of the
salty, fatty, sugar-filled treats they want.
To be honest, I wasn’t holding out too much hope of
the kids eating these. While they are partial to rice cakes, it is always
when smothered in butter and Vegemite or topped with cheese. And since
all of my kids are more savoury than sweet (taste-wise…not in demeanour,
ho ho), I wasn’t entirely convinced they would take to these.
Take to them they did. I had Mstr2 screeching in his
best whiny voice “Mooooorrrrrrreeeeee
Mummy!” while Miss2 seized the opportunity to swipe the
half a cracker he had remaining (because he’s prone to whining at any
given time, the fact that he still had half a cracker left didn’t deter
him from demanding mooooorrrrrreeeee).
Cue his fist delving into her mouth to try and fish it back
out. A very brave move on his part, considering she consumes EVERYTHING that
finds its way into her mouth. Edible or otherwise.
Miss5 was like a seagull lurking in the background, snapping up any casualties of the rice cracker war, as soon as they hit the ground.
Hubby also loved these. But that is to be expected, since
he loves every food product except Brussels sprouts. He's the one who normally gets lumped with the varied and pricey healthy treats that the kids shun. So he was kinda expecting more of these, but since they weren't rejected, I had to dispatch him to the shops post haste to purchase more for me himself the pantry school lunch supplies.
What a relief to have a snack food my kids enjoy, that is
also preservative, colour, flavouring and gluten free. Essentially, crap-free.

Mine would have to be cat biscuits. According to #1
Nana, I religiously snuck into the laundry to eat the cat biscuits each
morning, before the poor cat came in and got a chance to eat them.
On a
totally unrelated note, my Miss2 loves cat
biscuits. No idea where she got that from?

I used to eat my brussel sprouts with plum jam. It was the only way I would eat them, because at the age of 5 I thought it tasted like bubble gum.
ReplyDeleteMini Rice Cakes are gluten free. Cat biscuits are not.
ReplyDeleteChocolate rice cakes? What's the traffic light reading on these suckers? I'm going to pass on entering this comp (still sore I missed out on the Zhu Zhu Pet comp) 'cause I'm off overseas, but enjoy (which you obviously are...)!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite snack love as a kid was asparagus with melted cheese. Haven't had it in ages though...
ReplyDeleteI used to love celery sticks filled with pieces of cheese and sultanas!!
ReplyDeleteMy kids love to dip whatever they are eating into their drinks. hmmm vegemite on toast dipped in warm milo anyone?
ReplyDeleteFollowing you on GFC and Facebook. My son takes after his daddy - tomato sauce on EVERYTHING. Yes, I monitor it! :)
ReplyDeleteI used to munch on spaghetti. Straight out of the packet. Raw, crunchy, uncooked. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI love popcorn icecream (dipping popcorn into icecream)

When I was little I would ask for boiled zuccinni cooked in salty water for breakfast, lunch and tea. My Nan used to think it was very wierd when she was looking after us and would say that 'Your Mum wouldn't let you just eat that for breakfast'. Little did she know! Yum!
ReplyDeleteNot too weird - but my 4yo daughter will not have pizza without olives or mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteChip sandwiches! Ewwww....
ReplyDeleteFollowing you on GFC, Twitter and FB.
The kiddy loves plastic processed cheese - it makes me want to gag! Following on facebook and GFC and twitter :D
ReplyDeleteMy little one refuses to eat anything white and creamy including mayo, bechamel, lemon butter sauce, cream.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Rebekah - you've won the sample packs! Perhaps you can convince the child and man-child to try them without tomato sauce first! Please email me your address so I can send them out. parentalparody@hotmail.com
