Bird Eye have just added two new products to their frozen steamed vegetable range and to celebrate this the brand are hosting a Pick and Mix stand with a difference for commuters at Waterloo Station in London. Instead of sweets, the pick and mix will be filled with vegetables which the passers by can steam after, for a quick bite to eat.
Obviously, we do not all live in London or pass through Waterloo Station, so to allow everyone the opportunity to pick and mix some vegetables, Birds Eye are holding a virtual version of this on their facebook page. The rules are simple, you need to select 6 ingredients and place them into a bag, and steamfresh your selection and doing so you can hopefully win a prize if you have picked a winning combination. Prizes include a short break in a hotel and a top of the range microwave……….a bit like the one I have to give away below.
GIVE AWAY
Birds Eye are enabling one lucky Mummy Mishaps reader the chance to win a brand new Samsung Microwave. With its generous 23L of space, this makes it ideal for a couple or small family. You’re in full control of the temperature and timer and there’s even a defrost setting which is great if you have a meat, chicken or fish to defrost in a hurry. Thanks to the triple heat distribution system, it’s super quick and you’re guaranteed even cooking throughout your food.
All you need to do to be in with a chance of winning this fab prize, is to please fill in the form below. Please note that the winner will be selected at random, and contacted by email. Closing date is midnight on 9th November, 2014. Good luck

Actually, it’s a ‘horses for courses’ for me. I love a mix of methods. Sometimes I use more than one method with the same veg. For example, boiled potatoes in their jackets and corn on the cob, are delicious if you then baked them to crisp up a little.
