Organix Mighty Meals - Product Review

We have been sent some Mighty Meals from Organix for BabyG to review. I was unsure how this would go as we have never really given him jars of food. He has been weened on home cooked food and prefers that to baby food.

These meals are not like the average baby food. They have big bits of pasta and veg in them and they look really tasty! Marketed for 1-3 year olds we gave the whole thing to 1 year old BabyG and he must have loved it as he ate almost all of it! He kept saying 'mor mor mor!' and was using his hands as well as his spoon. I didn't taste the meals myself so I can't comment on them but for BabyG to eat so much of something that came ready prepared they must be good! 

These are great to have in the cupboard for when you are running late with tea or if the grown ups are having something the baby can't eat like something spicy. They don't need to be kept in the fridge and they have a really long shelf life. They can be heated up in a pan of water or in the microwave for just 40 seconds so they are really convenient!
 

With all Organix products, there is the 'no junk promise' so everything in these meals is healthy, nutritious, wholesome and organic. 

We were sent these by Organix but they are available in most supermarkets and we will definitely be buying these again in the future!

Today's Mini Moment - Knorr stock pots

I have been sent some Knorr stock pots and gravy pots. They are something I have thought about using but never thought to try them. Now I wonder how I lived without them - I have been using these in almost everything!

I have used them to enhance the flavours in more detailed dishes and used them as the main ingredient in quick, easy and filling lunches. I have even used the vegetable stock pot to season my rice, and the beef stock pot to add extra flavour to a home made curry.

My sweet and sour chicken is a hit at dinner time in this house. I added the herb infusion to it and it made it even tastier. You could really taste the herbs!

I also used the herb infusion in a lunch time dish which has become a favourite with DaddyG, BoyG and even BabyG!! I simply mixed some cooked pasta with a herb infusion pot and some chopped up cooked sausages. Seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. That's it! Simple!

I was sent these products by Knorr, but they are available in most supermarkets.

Fish is the dish - Healthy Hearts - Quick and easy dinners

I just want to share a couple of dishes I did with fish for BoyG and myself. Just to show you can have a quick and cost effective meal using fish. Although I like to jazz up the dinners I cook and get a 'wow' from DaddyG or BoyG, I also love cooking meals that are quick, easy, and use few ingredients.

For a hungry and tired BoyG, I cooked some pasta (he chose the 'bumpy' spaghetti!), and put the steamer on top of the pasta pan to steam a piece of salmon. I flaked the salmon and mixed it with the pasta, some passata, ground pepper, dried oregano and dried basil. I was apprehensive as he is fussy but I know he has had fish and usually likes it.

Well, he loved it!! No complaints at all! So this will be done again for him! There was enough salmon for BabyG to have some as well.

And for a hungry and tired MummyG, I made up a packet of flavoured rice, put some wild haddock in the oven to cook through and then mixed the two together and served it with broccoli.

Two cost and time efficient meals that even FussyG, I mean BoyG will eat ;0)
