Peas and Qs

Despite your best intentions, your family's meals aren't always fresh and healthy. Right now the dinner rotation is heavy on pizza, Chinese and that purple box with the bunny (you know the one). And despite its name, Veggie Booty isn't actually a food group. You've tried "healthy" prepared meals for kids, but the healthier they are, the less likely anyone will eat them. The whole situation leaves you feeling guilty and uninspired.

Peas of Mind, an organic outfit in San Francisco inspired by farmer's markets, strawberry picking and the like, has a whole new approach to kids' meals. Called puffets (now what kid wouldn't give that a try?), they're miniature casseroles of wholesome homemade recipes filled with organic ingredients (carrots, milk, broccoli and beans), and sized just right for little fingers to feed themselves, at home or on the go.

They come frozen, four to a box, in varieties like Nanna's Banana, Eat Your Greens, Black Bean Polenta and Carrot Risotto. Pop them in the microwave, and in two minutes your toddler has a real meal he'll really eat – just like you would make if, say, you lived on an organic farm and had lots of free time.

And it'll help you feel better about agreeing to that Pop-Tart and grade soda lunch.
