The last of the My Food Bag posts- homemade pizza and giant cookie

Piers Fuller Reporter from News of Wairarapa

The last of the free trial meals My Food Bag gave us was the bacon and chicken pizza with roasted veges. Dessert was a giant baked cookie.
I have to say the pizza was the best homemade pizza I have ever had. It turned out great and there was plenty for me and the kids with lunch leftovers for the next day. My wife is a vegetarian so she stuck with the veges. My son baked the giant cookie and we had that hot with boysenberry ice cream- delicious!
Our overall impression of My Food Bag was that it was awesome. It's a fantastic idea and well executed. Like most people, we have to make the difficult decision on whether the per meal cost is within our budget. It is certainly something we would take up again, but whether we would be prepared to pay $169.99 every week is another matter (My Family Bag). There are a whole range of packages so we might try others as well. Last week was a free trial supplied to us by My Food Bag and later this week we will be announcing the winner of a week's free trial for one of our Neighbourly readers.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
