Oliving by Hans – Giveaway

October 8, 2014 by Abby 25 Comments

Oliving by Hans

This post is brought to you by Oliving by Hans. I have received product and payment for this post however, all thoughts and views expressed in this post are entirely my own honest opinions.

When it comes to lunch, I usually leave deli meats for a ‘once every now and then’ treat. I’ve always thought of them as a bit unhealthy, so I usually stick to avocado or tuna to avoid the saturated fats. When I was contacted by Marmot Inc. to learn more about the new product Oliving by Hans, I was geniunely excited. Oliving by Hans replaces some of the saturated fat in smallgoods with Olive Oil, making those tasty deli meats a much healthier choice than they traditionally are. The best part is, they still taste just as delicious! They have a huge range which is available at Coles, Woolworths and IGA. You can get it in the fridge section and also freshly cut at the deli.

The Green Olive

The launch was hosted at The Green Olive in Red Hill, a gorgeous winery, olive grove and restaurant. Bridget Davis, The Internet Chef, took us through all the products, cooking up some wonderful treats for us all to try. Take a look at this video to see what we got up to on the day.

We were all given a goodie bag full of the Oliving by Hans range to try and I’ll be showing you a delicious recipe later next week using some of the great product.

Now for the exciting bit…Oliving by Hans have given me 4 x $30 Coles Myer vouchers to giveaway to some lucky readers. You can use these to by some of the products from Coles and taste the difference for yourself!

To enter, use the Rafflecopter form below and leave a comment telling me your favourite dish using smallgoods. Giveaway is open to Australian residents only and closes on 23rd October 2014.

    I love my go to recipe for bbq’s with friends. I make little mini savoury muffins with shredded ham and any other goodies I have hiding in my fridge and pantry. They turn out different, but delish everytime!

    Not really a dish, but for a lazy summer dinner we love a antipasto plate, with some nice deli meats, dips, veggies, olives and cheeses. Yum, so great for a picnic

    We love making salami and zucchini pasta, very quick and easy. A ‘throw whatever else you have in the fridge’ recipe too. Will have to try these products out, they sound yum.

    I make my own mini quiches with various cold meats – ham, chicken, turkey etc and also put in semi-dried tomatoes, artichokes, feta – it’s very easy to make a batch of lots of different flavours in one go. I do the same with “sausage rolls” using similar ingredients. Very keen to try these new products!

    I have always had the same thoughts as you, that they must not be too healthy, so I will have to try this new one soon – my boys love cold meats 🙂

    My favourite would be a cauliflower and bacon soup. The recipe was given to me by my childhood best friend, who now resides in Poland. It is yummy!!

    My whole family loves the dish we call antipasto pasta. Its basically just an easy throw together dish of pasta with pesto and whatever yummy small goods and leftovers we have left in the fridge. My fave is thinly sliced salami and ham, with fetta, olives, roasted capsicum and marinated artichokes. Its great for using up bits and pieces after a get together and takes practically no time to make.

    Home made pizzas are the best, with lots of salami! Or sometimes I buy a hunk of brie and some salami, not in the slightest bit healthy, but a rather delicious snack.

    A favourite in our family are chicken paddies (with chicken mince, grated carrots, herbs, sweet chilli sauce etc) wrapped in yummy bacon or prosciutto. We all come back for seconds!

    My kids (and I) love making mini pizzas on pita bread – they love a combo of salami, baked beans and sliced leftover sausages!!

    We love muffin mini pizzas for a quick and easy lunch Oran omelette. The idea of healthier cold meats appeals to me so much because I don’t buy them often for this very reason.

Quick and satisfying project today making a brush Quick and satisfying project today making a brush roll for my art supplies. Vintage canvas from the stash (which I think is from a bougie Italian designer). Matching bag to come. Then I can grab and go for my next en plein air session.
I love how gardening teaches you to appreciate eac I love how gardening teaches you to appreciate each season and observe the cyclical nature of growth and of life. Through tending a garden we learn to embrace imperfection and patience. That the reason for everything is the journey not the destination.
My dress for this years @sew_melbourne Garden Part My dress for this years @sew_melbourne Garden Party was the Lucca Dress from @schultzapparel. I adore the 18th Century vibe! After toiling my measured size, I ended up going down 2 sizes and after a few minor tweaks I make to most patterns (shorten and move forward the shoulder and realign the side seams) it was good to go. I was planning to finish the front with eyelets but ended up hand sewing in hook and eye tape. I love the clean look! When trying it on I wanted a little more oomph in the hips so I added some tulle hip pads to the sides. I added in seam pockets too because...pockets! The fabric is from deep stash and originally purchased at the Philips Shirt Factory sale in the city maybe 10 years ago?! It was a dream to sew with! I used about 5m because it was only 90cm wide. I'm loving the result and hopefully the weather plays nice and I get another chance to wear it before it turns cold. The dipped waist makes it really comfortable to wear with room for a big lunch! #schlucca #sewmelbourne #sewmelbournegp #imakemyownclothes
My grandma always grew borage and would put it in My grandma always grew borage and would put it in salads. I didn't know anyone else who made salad with flowers in it (it was the 80s) and I thought she was a magical witch. I'm so excited to finally grow it in my own garden! When buying veggie seeds I found borage on @theseedcollection so couldn't help myself. Witches unite! ✨🌱
Today Ted and I built a step to make getting up to Today Ted and I built a step to make getting up to front garden a bit easier. Used scraps of timber from the old retaining wall. He wasn't a fan of the circular saw but loved doing the drilling and screwing. Worked out just as I hoped! I don't have a builders square, but turns out a quilting ruler makes an excellent substitute.
