Feel Good Friday - product review 'Tiny Tastes'

Do you ever find yourself tearing your hair out, exhausted at the end of the day but with dinner, bath and bed time still looming? As mums we have a responsibility to feed our children healthy and nutritious food, we are the grown up and they trust that what we are putting into their bodies is good for them.  But sometimes wouldn't it be nice to have someone else think about that for you?

Enter Caroline and her business Tiny Tastes - she specialises in cooking up and delivering home made organic baby and toddler food.  As a mum who very much likes to give her children home cooked meals as often as possible but also falling into the category of working, time poor and not the worlds most creative (or willing) cook a service like this is right up my alley.

I was excited to receive my cool box full of tiny meals delivered straight to my fridge on the Thursday afternoon and  we had a toddler lunch date scheduled for the next day.  Because Tiny Taste meals are freshly made they need to be kept cool and put straight into your fridge if you are going to use them within 72hours or just pop them into your freezer for a longer shelf life.  They are completely organic and Caroline has just added wholemeal and gluten free pasta options which I think is fantastic and gets a big tick from me.

Friday lunch time Marley, Hugo and Zac tucked into their Tiny Tastes meals, between them they had Chicken Risotto (which I actually ate for my dinner the night before and thought it was very yummy), Pasta Bolognese which was a HUGE hit and Fusulli with Vegetables and Cheese sauce.  Plates were cleaned and the boys eagerly tucked into their Apple and cinnamon for desert - this was especially delicious and they were lucky the mums didn't eat it first!

We also delivered a few baby meals of Chicken and Lentils to a friend and her young son who couldn't make it and I received a lovely text message back from Lucy saying "Archie really loved his meals they were eaten  in minutes - thank you for introducing us to Tiny Tastes".

I was thinking this afternoon about when and why I would use home delivered children's food and for me, because I know that the ingredients are fresh, organic and the meals are healthy and balanced I would be happy to use Tiny Tastes regularly and often - what stops me is that although I am the first to admit I am time poor and not the world's best cook it is also important for me to cook with Marley and show him how to make good healthy food.  He must also know however that we don't always have the time too cook our own food but that it is important to make a good decision about ready made bought food and that we choose Tiny Tastes because they are healthy and good for us.

And if you are stuck for a gift idea for a mum who has just given birth to their second, third or more child a freezer full of Tiny Tastes meals would go down a treat.  Knowing that your older kids are being well fed when you are exhausted and looking after a newborn is such a weight off your shoulders - I highly recommend this fantastic and practical gift.

So all in all Tiny Tastes gets a big tick from me and I am very excited about trying some of their new menu which you can see on their website.
