Frozen meals target tots

I admit there are times I will buy my 15-month-old daughter frozen meals. They are easy, come with a veggie, protein and carb and she tends to eat it all up.
I do however only get her organic frozen meals, including ones made by Earth’s Best and Amy’s Kitchen. They have meals especially made for kids, but their selections are limited to about a handful for both products.
At times, I feel bad about giving her a frozen lunch, heated of course. I think back to when I was growing up and how I only ate fresh, home-cooked meals. I honestly don’t think I ate pizza until I was in my 20s. One of my fonder memories was sneaking Chef Boyardee Spaghetti O’s into the shopping cart. My mother would let me occasionally eat the canned good but not without telling me how disgusting she thought it was as I indulged in the soupy concoction with those delectable tiny meatballs.
It turns out that frozen food for babies and toddlers is a growing market with several makers coming out with lines, including Tasty Baby and Petite Palate. Check out this article that ran in “Frozen Food Age” in May on the emerging trend.
Any thoughts on frozen meals for baby?

Don’t forget to look at the sodium content when you’re buying those frozen meals—sometimes the kids get so used to salt that they get out of control when you try to feed them normally seasoned foods. And please don’t forget, BTW, that today’s Silly Sunday. Sharpen up that sense o’ humor, and drop in to see me!
I think a great meal to have organized meals for your child that are healthy is to prepare a number of frozen meals at home. This way you won’t need to rely on store-bought frozen meals, you will have some meals already made for emergencies.
