Now that school is back in session, there are many nights each week where once we are home, I feel behind the eightball if I haven't already got something cooking in the crockpot for dinner. Some nights as soon as I pick Bean up, "I'm hungry" is one of the first things she tells me. It's hard to get her to understand that Mommy needs a while to get home and get dinner going. Her little tummy isn't as patient as I'd like it to be.
That's why when I was given the opportunity to participate in the Kidfresh Blog Tour sponsored by MomCentral.com, I jumped at it. I was excited to try some quick and easy meals that are made just for kids and have lots of hidden veggies mixed in. I knew if Bean liked these, they would be a good standby for those nights when she just doesn't have the patience to wait around for me to cook dinner. Most of the time, the quick and easy options aren't always the healthiest ones. It's hard to find fast meals for your children that you don't feel guilty about giving them.
We were offered coupons to try some Kidfresh meals found at our local Publix stores. To be honest, I could not find any at my local stores so I had to purchase them at Whole Foods. I was told by a Publix manager that they are slowly rolling out Kidfresh to all of the metro area stores and that I should be able to find them there in a few weeks.
The meals we have tried so far are the Spaghetti Loops Bolognese and the Wagon Wheels Mac & Cheese. Bean really liked both of these. I'm not sure which she preferred because she ate quite a bit of both. I took some pictures of the Wagon Wheels Mac & Cheese to show you just how much cheese there is.
Kidfresh meals contain nothing artificial. Even the packaging is "green" and BPA-free. The mac and cheese dinner has hidden carrots in it so Bean gets veggies even when she doesn't think she is.
