Caviar, lobster, a perfectly cooked steak and a nice glass of wine to wash it all down. What could be better? Well, when you are 9 months old your choices of food are pretty limitless. So when Sweet Pea Baby Food sent us some samples, our playgroup was excited to see how the children would react to these new yummies.

The first one we tried was Broccoli. All the moms agreed that none of the children would enjoy it. I mean it’s green and it’s broccoli – nuff said. So down goes the first spoonful. With mouths wide open and some sort of grunting noises that clearly indicated that more was in order - we were all shocked. So of course, I had to try some myself. It’s a good thing that my child is the love of my life because I could have easily eaten the entire tray and licked it until there wasn’t a drop left. Yes, I did say Broccoli. Now the main course – Veggies and Chicken. All I can say is that my grandmother would’ve been jealous. The texture was very smooth and not chunky which I know many children (and adults for that matter) cannot stomach. Finally dessert - Banana and Blueberry. Again, another hit. The children couldn’t open their mouths fast enough. Each spoonful was welcomed with a smile. Who would’ve thought that mealtime would be this much fun. The preparation into the food was simple. Each cube is individually sealed so you can take as much or as little as you need per feeding – no need to waste an entire tray. The cube went into the microwave for about 25 seconds and that’s it. The flavour was so rich and delicious that you can taste the trueness of each food. There are no additives or preserves in the food so you can feel good about feeding your child such a diverse menu. The children enjoyed their lunch, which is a huge relief to a mom who usually stresses over mealtime. I wonder if my husband will be disappointed when he comes home and I tell him that we’re having a few trays of Broccoli for dinner.
