This day I love.......

The new school term has started and with it a whole new calender of sports and after school activities.  It would appear that either of the girls or myself do something most nights of the week.  On some evenings we have under an hour from getting home from school to leaving again for an activity, whereas others the girls go straight from school and I pick them up later in the evening.  

On these occasions the girls need dinner quick.  They need to have time to eat dinner so they need food prepared quickly and easily.  Kiddyum provide naturally sourced, nutritionally balanced meals for little ones.  Whilst they are found in the frozen aisle, they cook in under 4 minutes meaning my girls can have a healthy meal quickly.

There are currently 5 flavours to choose from

Chicken Curry and Rice
Cottage Pie
Fish and Veg Pie
Macaroni Bolognese
Cheesy Peasy Pasta

The size of the portions are perfect for 3-4years as a main meal.  Each Kiddyum fills a toddler size bowl, so perhaps would be a little too much for a 1-2 year old.

The girls favourites are Macaroni Bolognese and Cheesy Peasy Pasta.  You can see real vegetables and meat in the dishes which is always great to see with ready meals.  My only slight criticism is that I would have preferred the sauce to have been a little thicker.  The girls did make a bit of a mess as the sauce was very runny, but they enjoyed the taste and the smell of them was great too.

Kiddyum have provided the girls with healthy meals in a matter of minutes.  As a busy Mum with children who have very busy lives Kiddyum has certainly helped provide healthy dinner quickly.  The girls have been impressed too.


Kiddyum can be found in the frozen food aisle at Sainsburys.  


Thanks to Kiddyum for providing us with Kiddyum meals to try.  All words are my own opinion.

On certain days of the week the girls have after school clubs to attend.  We can often be in a rush after school to get to the club on time and so dinner usually consists of something quick like baked beans or sandwiches.  It is too late when we get home for dinner, the girls are simply too tired so we need quick healthy alternatives for these nights.

It isn't just on the nights with clubs on, some evenings I myself am simply too tired.  Thing 3 seems to need all my energy at the minute and often I just do not have the energy to cook.  I feel really guilty as I try my best to eat healthy and give the kids healthy foods.

Kirsty's kids kitchen have come to our rescue recently, with 8 delicious new meals.  The ready meals are all ready in under 4 minutes in the microwave, contain no additives or sugar and I can actually pronounce all the ingredients on the back!  They are also gluten and diary free making it perfect for those with allergies.


The meals have been a great alternative to the usual beans or sandwiches which are quick to prepare.  I have even tried a couple myself.  As an adult they are a good size portion for lunch, but you would need at least 2 for dinner.  My youngest does struggle with the portion size for dinner and eats just over half.  My eldest eats around 3/4 .  Perhaps for the younger kids be aware of the size of the meal.


Overall though the meals have been enjoyed.  Some are preferred over others, I personally like the Moroccan chicken and chicken Korma, whereas the girls favourites are the lasagne and cottage pie.  Kirsty's Kids kitchen range are exclusive to ASDA and currently on a trial price of £1.50!

We received 8 meals to try from the Kirsty's kitchen range, all words are my own opinion.

I was recently invited to an event held by Asda to launch their new chosen by kids range.  Unfortunately I was unable to attend and after watching this video it looks like I missed a really good day


I was very surprised by how much choice there is in the chosen by kids range.  There is everything from juice to fresh fruit and even Jelly.  My girls were spoilt for choice.

 After trying the majority of items in the range I have not yet found one the girls will not eat.  They really enjoy them all.  Definitely living up to chosen by kids!  I love that there is something for everyone, from quick snacks, to full meals and lunch box fillers. 

I am now so much more aware of the range in Asda and can spot something on almost every aisle.  Of course we always come home with the girls favourite

Next time you are in Asda why not try the Chosen by Kids range, I cant recommend it enough.  


I was provided with a £10 gift card to shop in Asda to try the chosen by kids range.  All thoughts are my own.

After our disastrous day yesterday, my parents kindly offered to look after the girls tonight so my husband and I could go out to dinner.  We managed to book a table at a local restaurant.

It was really lovely to have 'grown up' time and be able to spend quality time together.  The food was really lovely which all in all made for a lovely evening.  For us what makes this night more special is that both girls were in bed for 6 and both are still there 4 hours later.  

I am now thinking of taking the opportunity to catch up on some sleep!

This day I love date night.
