Getting my girls to eat vegetables with their meals can be challenging. I recently learned about Peas of Mind, all natural products made with real vegetables. Peas of Mind sprouted from the idea that as kids begin eating solid foods, the tastes and textures they experience will shape their eating habits for a lifetime. Their products are great for health-conscious parents who want to feed their growing kids delicious meals with organic ingredients, but don’t have the time to make them from scratch. Peas of Mind products are found in the frozen food section of Whole Foods, other retailers can be found here.

My family received the opportunity to try a Peas of Mind product. My youngest daughter tried the cauliflower veggie wedgies. Veggie Wedgies, which look like french fries, come in three other flavors: broccoli, carrot, cauliflower, and apple. They come frozen and are very east to make. Place them on a baking tray and coat with non-stick spay then bake them for 10 minutes or until they are your desired crispness. I sprinkled them with a little salt and garlic salt Each serving has more than half a serving of your child’s recommended fruit and vegetable intake for a day. My daughter usually doesn’t like cauliflower but she had no problem scarfing these veggie fries down. They make a great “veggie side” for any meal. My oldest didn’t try them because I noticed they are made in a facility that produces nuts and she has food allergies. I left a few to the side for myself and really enjoyed them. I am looking forward to trying other Peas of Mind products with her.
Other products include:
Pull-a-parts are made with pieces of our signature veggie dough with broccoli and carrots kneaded into it.
Peas of Mind kneads real broccoli and carrots right into the pizza crust. They use pepperoni with no nitrates and nitrites. One pizza contains 1½ servings of veggies.
Puffets are available in 5 flavors: Nana’s Banana, Carrot Risotto, Black Bean Polenta, Eat Your Greens and Mama’s Pasta.

Growing up the thought of Brussel Sprouts disgusted me. I wanted nothing to do with the little balls of “salad”. I never gave them a shot until a friend had me over for dinner and served them roasted. I got hooked and am addicted to them. Recently, I came across an image of a Brussel Sprout and egg dish on 
I usually don’t eat at the same time as my girls because I am helping them eat, getting the bath ready, or cleaning up from cooking. I also LOVE having my time to eat while the girls have a little TV time before bed. Last week, I had made a taco salad with a homemade avocado dressing I made in my 
Last week was a pretty hectic week. We went away for Memorial Day and when I got back I was rushing to get the class gift together for the last day of school and running around getting ready for my friend’s wedding which was Saturday. The girls were staying the weekend with my mom so I also had a lot of grocery shopping to do. I usually just go to

The girls loved the meatballs so much my mom and I decided to try them. They are bursting with great flavor in every bite. You can definitely taste the Oregano in them. They are great to add to pasta (Maddie’s favorite), or to dip in ketchup for a snack. The meatballs where also the perfect size for sandwiches. I tried two different types of sandwiches with the girls: a silly turkey meatball sandwich and a Thanksgiving craving sandwich. The girls weren’t really into the bread with the sandwiches but they devoured the meatballs. Unfortunately, my
