Little Dish Meal for Little J

Little J has a big appetite and up to now he has eaten everything we have put in front of him. I haven't found anything that he doesn't like yet.  

 Little J has been trying Little Dish meals and today he tried the Cottage Pie with Seven Veg. Minced British beef in a tasty tomato and seven veg sauce, topped with potato and veg mash.   Heating instructions say it is best to be heated from chilled in the oven but I did it in the microwave.   It was ready in 5 and a half minutes. Actual cooking time is just 2 and half minutes,1 minute stand in between cooking and 2 minutes stand after cooking.  

After it had cooked and I opened it I thought it didn't look much and there seemed to be very little mash on top. It was really hot so I let it stand for a further minute or two before I popped it on the plate.

When I put it on the plate it looked more appetising than before and it did smell nice.

Little J enjoys feeding himself and he was able to with this because the mash is quite thick and stayed on the spoon as he lifted it to his mouth

The cottage pie with seven veg is suitable from 1 year old. The 200g portion is 2 of 5 a day, low salt (0.4g) and contains 183kcal. I was happy to see the salt content as I know microwave meals can be pumped with salt and sugar to add flavour.

It is suitable for home freezing and can be cooked from frozen too.

After he's finished we always have messy dishes but luckily we can pop them straight in the dishwasher. It's always important to remember to deodorize your dishwasher using a dishwasher deodorizer.

I will definitely try a few more of the dishes available. They are handy to have in when you need to make a quick meal, even cooking in the oven is just 25 mins.

When we purchased from the supermarket there were a few more dishes to choose from but there are 13 in total and can be viewed online at Little Dish
