WHAT'S NEW
SHOPPING CART: Kid-friendly meals, bars and snacks
Sure, homemade food is always best, but once in a while parents
need something ultra-quick to feed their children, especially
in the busy back-to-school weeks.
Most frozen meals for kids are pretty scary, with ingredient
lists that read like the Yellow Pages. That's why the new Kids
Meals from Amy's in Petaluma are nice to have around in an
emergency.
Two noodle dishes - macaroni and cheese and baked ziti - come
with focaccia, broccoli and a fruit dessert. The ziti meal
is gluten- and dairy-free. Kids might not love the foccacia,
which is a little chewy, but they should enjoy the noodles.
And there's nothing mysterious on the ingredient list, which
includes organic pasta, vegetables and fruit.
Amy's Kids Meals are $2.99-$4.49 at natural foods stores like
Berkeley Bowl, Apple Market in Novato, and many Whole Foods
markets.
