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.

Tortilla Casserole Bowl
This casserole is based on a popular Mexican dish called Chilaquiles. One of Amy’s chefs (whose family had owned a Mexican restaurant in San Francisco) was familiar with the dish and adapted it to suit Amy’s standards...organic ingredients, fewer “hot” spices, and less fat. The result is delicious and might remind you of a bowl of “nachos” made with organic baked corn chips and melted cheddar and jack cheeses. On the side are delicately seasoned slow-cooked black beans, making this gluten free meal in a bowl thoroughly satisfying. Gluten free.
Your Comments
I felt compelled to write and tell you I'm in love... in love with your Tamale dinners. I got hooked on tamales when we visited Albuquerque, NM, several years ago and since then have been in search of another good tamale! My husband tells me not to order them when I see them infrequently on a menu at a Mexican restaurant but I usually give in and am ultimately disappointed. So, I was hesitant to spend the money on my first Amy's Tamale Verde dinner but I did and I sure am glad because the tamale took me back to Albuquerque! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
