We are now entering into another school year, and if last year was a bit of a crash course, this year, it is game on.

One of the biggest challenges while being home living the remote life has been feeding the kids. Sure, I can throw them a can of mystery soup for their lunch, but we all know more than ever, nutrition is essential.

But praise the food gods for Little Spoon, the only food I could get my youngest to eat when he was a wee one, has introduced new Plates designed for toddlers and big kids. And much like their popular 100% organic baby food that got us through some rough feeding periods, you’ll find organic hidden veggies and superfoods in every bite. The sneaky aspect is right up my alley, especially for the 4-year-old who is returning to in-person school and is extremely picky—he’ll never know when he’s digging into Little Spoon’s Mac and Three Cheese that there’s invisible organic butternut squash and carrots mixed into the sauce. I am counting on Plates such as Cauli Croquettes  with Veggie Millet Tots and Roasted Carrots and  Chicken Super Nuggets with Sweet Potato Carrot Poppers and Broccoli (love the names of these dishes!) to help me save time this busy school year. I will also win the best parent award with the teachers as the meals only take two minutes or under to heat up.

Like most parents, I am working while juggling more than one could ever imagine, and there have been a few early evenings when I have worked past dinner time. I will be counting on  Little Spoon’s new Plates for those evenings to get dinner on the table. My oldest will love the Chicken Pot Stickers with Veggie and Quinoa Stir Fry and Steamed Edamame and Chicken Teriyaki with Quinoa “Fried Rice”. Did I mention that all meals start at under $5 and are made with antibiotic & hormone-free protein and no preservatives, artificial sugar or anything artificial? This is how I cook, so having a meal service that serves healthy and nutritional meals for my family is precisely what I need. Use code NYFAMILY for one free Plate meal with purchase.
