{WIN} One of FIVE Ocean Spray Hampers and a Cranberry Loaf Recipe

May 11, 2016 by Laura le Roux 29 Comments

I love baking. It is my happy place, I have said this often. I will happily try out a new loaf/cake recipe every day over cooking dinner.

So when Ocean Spray contacted me and asked me to use the products they sent me to create a recipe I was super excited, seriously I think I do have the best job.

Obviously my first point of call was Pinterest to find all the cranberry recipes I could. Eventually I settled on a Cream Cheese Cranberry Loaf and a Slow Cooker Chicken Marinade. Both came out really well but the loaf was better – I didn’t use the slow cooker for the chicken dish so I think next time I will do that and I am sure it will be nicer.Cranberry loaf|SA Mom Blogs

[yumprint-recipe id=’1′]Ocean Spray have given us FIVE hampers of their awesome products to giveaway to our readers.Cranberry loaf|SA Mom Blogs

In a host of exciting flavours that tantalize the taste buds and offer something for every palette to enjoy morning, noon and night, Ocean Spray products offer a uniquely rich taste that is refreshing, satisfying and revitalising.”

To enter, tell me your favourite thing to bake.

    I love baking (and cooking) and find it so relaxing (when I’m not under pressure that is)! My favourite thing to bake….. hmmm probably cheese muffins. I just love a cheese muffin and I’m on a mission to perfect them. My last batch were the best so far, I added feta to the cheddar and they came out so yummy. So I’ll have to keep on baking and er… testing ahem cough-cough to eventually make the perfect muffin…. if ever!! Thanks for a great review, I’ve never heard of Ocean Spray products, but they look and sound great! 🙂

What can I say about Rustenburg.. Rustenburg has What can I say about Rustenburg..

Rustenburg has massive mountains. They are beautiful, but difficult to climb.

The chess was challenging and Nicky got 4.5 out of 9 rounds, ending in 42nd position.

My hire car struggled up the hill and the clutch started smoking. After that I came early to make sure I got a parking spot at the bottom.

The electricity was intermittent. Out Guest house had a generator which they turned off at night so Nicky had to make do with a small portable fan.

Despite all this, we are grateful for precious moments which made this trip worthwhile.

Friends that we made and spent time with

Meeting your opponent that you just played at Nando's.

Jumping on trampolines and having fun at Sun City. I lay on the beach while Nicky and Deacon did the slides.

At the airport Nicky had fun walking both ways on the treadmill and Chelsea joined him too.

All in all I'm also super grateful that we made memories and to be home safe.

Would you like to create content but you lack foll Would you like to create content but you lack followers?

There is another option.

User generated content is where you produce content for brands, and it really doesn't matter how many followers you have. 

Lakeisha Mugo from Kenya has put together a UGC guide that will give you the plan that you need.

What I liked about this guide:
📱No fluff, real steps.
📱Great ideas for engagement and what really makes a thoughtful comment.
📱Loads of templates for everything including letters to brands and even for feedback on your work. 
📱Africa specific and relevant.
📱How to make sure that you charge according to the different levels of UGC

It's all up on the blog! So go ahead and read it.

It's that season where we are going around looking It's that season where we are going around looking at high schools.

I know. Time flies. How did we get here?

I loved the quotes on the walls and the art work of the students. If I had to do school again, I think I'd do more art and cooking.

What would you do?

Anyway, let's hope Nicky gets accepted somewhere for next year. These applications are a lot of work. But I've done 3 of them now. 

Nicky really likes this school. And of course he went straight for the chess.

Life in cartoon form. Ask Chat GPT to make a cari Life in cartoon form.

Ask Chat GPT to make a caricature of you based on what it knows about you. You'll get a better result if you tell it what you do. The first attempt was slide 2, it thinks I am a doctor. And I never ask it medical questions. 

Try it out and see what you get.
