Mumbler Reviews: Pickle and Squash
Pickle and Squash
A very exciting delivery arrived this week from the wonderful Pickle and Squash. The Only UK Recipe Box Designed Specifically for Families with Little Ones.
We were very excited to get stuck in with the preparing and eating of the delicious Hedgehog Meatballs with Steamed Tenderstem Broccoli. Now the chef in our house is usually Jon (my husband) but with very precise and clear instructions, and with all ingredients prepared ready for you to just get on and make the dish, I was ready to rise to the challenge.
The great thing about Pickle and Squash is that they very much encourage the little ones to get involved with little carrots on the recipe card which indicate where your mini chefs can take part. Cici (age 7) loved this and really got stuck in mixing the mince with the rice and spices. The boys (age 2 and 5) were on broccoli washing and as you can imagine it was very clean by the time it was ready to steam. The pulling together of all the ingredients was very straight forward and very quickly the kitchen was filled with delicious aromas. With only two pans used it also made for very easy cleaning up afterwards.
I love the very handy weaning guide that comes with your recipe card. The meals are all suitable from 7 months and the guide clearly states how the food should be served for your little ones in terms of sizes of pieces of food and consistency.
And the verdict, nosies of great appreciation from all four children! Trilli loved the fact she could feed herself. The tender stem broccoli was a real hit and she couldn’t get her meatballs in quickly enough. I thought the portion size was generous and everything was very tasty. I had intended it to just be for the children but there was plenty enough for a portion for me too!
As a family we would definitely recommend giving Pickle and Squash a try and I am already looking online to see what other delicious meals they are offering.
