#TildaKids: Adding a little sunshine into our dinner!
As a Mum of four, juggling a business, homework, housework, hanging on to my sanity by a thread, there just never seems to be enough hours in the day. By the time the children have come home from school and we’ve gone through their reading books, ploughed our way through the homework, had a walk to the play ground, or played a game in the garden, I often find myself looking at the clock wondering where the day has gone, and what on earth we will have for dinner?
And whilst I am very aware of making sure that my children eat well, have their five a day, and a home cooked meal, slogging it out in the kitchen isn’t always possible. For that reason I am all about the easy, but healthy, options, and this is where Tilda Kids are a god send! With best-selling varieties such as Sunshine Vegetable or Cheese & Tomato, they are packed full of nutritious goodness, using all natural ingredients, with each pack counting as 1 of their 5 a day!
One of the children’s favourite meals is Chicken Korma, a nice easy dish that, thanks to a ready made sauce, some chicken breast and Tilda Kids, I can have ready in under 15 minutes.
The great thing about Tilda Kids Sunshine Vegetable is that, given the fact my children go crazy if they see the smallest onion in their Korma, I know they are getting lots of nutritional goodness via the butternut squash, carrots and sweetcorn within the rice.
With Harry, Megan and Eva at 4, 5 and 6, I love that each Tilda Kids sachet has been specially developed to cater for children’s taste palates and growing appetites. They can be eaten on their own or as an accompaniment to a meal as the children grow, which is perfect for us!
All recipes are gluten-free and three of four variants are dairy free which given the price of just £1.15 for a 125g sachet, I think is a really great price. They are also all vegetarian and free from artificial colours and preservatives.
Tilda Kids sachets are ready to eat in just 40 seconds in the microwave, or 3 minutes stir fried, and for anyone who has sat around waiting for rice to boil, you’ll appreciate how convenient that is!
I’m sure there are parents of fussy eaters who, like me, assume their children will pull their face at the sight of those added vegetables, and yet I found that the majority of the vegetables were hidden, which is always a bonus!
I love that in under fifteen minutes my children can be sat down, enjoying a delicious meal, leaving me with a few minutes peace to sit down, put my feet up and catch the last of the sunshine.

Cute girls 🙂 That looks great and so easy to get on the dinner plates too. Legoland would be a fun place to visit!
Having recipes that are really quick is always ideal. Especially for those hectic days. Big plus when everyone loves the meal.
Never mind the kids, I would happily have this for my tea. Looks delicious x
These look convenient and tasty! Ideal for mum and kids on the go x
I’m a massive fan of the tilda rice packs – they are so quick and my kids love them too 🙂
I dont meant to sound like a bad mum but i would fight my daughter over it – it looks so tasty 🙂
This looks very yummy and I would eat this, never mind my kids!

This is a great option for making quick and healthy meals. I hadn’t heard of Tilda brand before. Thanks for sharing!
This sounds like a great way to introduce children to new flavours. I think we would take advantage of the Legoland promotion.
I haven’t bought these pouches for ages, I had forgotten how easy to use they are.
That looks delicious, quick and simple!
This looks so simple for the working mom. Heck…I would eat this way myself! Your girls are so pretty.
How have I not heard of this before? This sounds perfect for my girls. Alice loves everything and Holly is my fussy one. Something that they would both eat would be amazing x
I haven’t heard of before either. Where have I been? Besides, my husband and I would eat this — the kids might have to fight us! Thanks!
This looks fab. At the age of almost 6, Zach has only just started liking rice! Oscar is not there yet haha!
How adorable are your kids? Tilda Kids sounds awesome! I would love to try them out on my family!
I’ve never heard of this! I know kids can be fussy eaters, though, so that’s nice that they can get their full amount of veg from a meal without feeling like they’ve been forced into it.
I’ve never heard of this brand. It definitely looks like something my kids would love though!
I’ve never heard of these before but it looks like something that would make cooking dinner much easier while still tasting good!
This looks fab! We are big fans of Tilda here.
I’m always looking for ways to cook quicker and save more time – I just never have time to cook nowadays 🙁
I haven’t heard about Tilda Kids, but it surely looks amazing. And they are ready to eat in just 40 seconds in the microwave? Wow that’s very convenient!
Looks like a great dinner! #bigpinklink
These look very tasty. Wouldn’t mind trying this myself
We love the Tilda Kids pouches they are such a great thing to have in your cupboard for a quick and easy dinner!
If I can get more veg into my kids then I’m going to try these! Plus legoland isn’t too far from us, and it’s on our list for this summer too, winner! Thanks for sharing 🙂
What great way to sneak those veggies in! Will definitely give this a try! 😉
That sounds excellent. The Tubblet is another onion dodger and can spot the pieces however tiny I cut them. Although she cannot find a bus pass pass in plain sight … And hidden vegetables. 🙂 Thank you
What a great way to sneak veggies in! I’ll have to give this a try 😉
This looks so yummy, even I would eat it! It sounds very convinient for those with little ones. Thank you for sharing this lovely post!
As a mum, I totally appreciate easy and yummy recipes and this seems like just that. Under 15 minutes, yes, please! Lovely and helpful post! Thanks for sharing!
We moms need a helping hand in the kitchen and always search for new ideas on cooking! These look delicious!
I had not heard of Tilda yet, what a great brand idea for me to get for the kiddos. My youngest is a picky eater, so we’ll see what he thinks.
this is absolutely convenient and easy to make 🙂 at a short notice. thank you for introducing me to this product
I struggle to get organised for dinner with 1 little one so I can’t imagine how you do it! Great tips. These sound lovely and perfect for getting the veggies in.#bigpinklink
Yum looks so good! We have 8 kids so I am sure we’d be able to put this to great use with lots of little helpers. My kids love helping out in the kitchen!
Sometimes you have to sneak them in, especially until they grow an appreciation for them, which can be until 6, 7 or 8. I love your backyard/garden with their own little playhouse. What fun!
Mine are not big fans of trying new foods and flavours but they love Tilda rice
These are so convenient to have in the house for when you need to rush but need to find something quick that fills their tummies up X #bigpinklink
My husband does all of our cooking these days and is always looking for simple this looks yummy!
Not heard of these before and do look like a tasty idea #BigPinkLink
These Tilda rice pouches are a lifesaver in our house. I didn’t know that they had partnered up with LEGOLAND! We are hoping to go there this summer so I will definitely be buying them when I next to do the food shop.
I love that Tilda has launched rice for children and they have all the tasty veggies hidden in the rice. Plus it is great to hear that it is vegetarian friendly as well.
I’m all about convenience and if it sneaks in a few extra veggies into kids diets I am all for it! Your girls are adorable!
I haven’t heard of this before! But this looks great. I’m sure my daughter would love a vegan rice!
This looks yummy and easy to make! My kind of meal and I’m sure the kids would love it!
They are a fabulous idea. I’d even think about giving them to my fussy fiancee, haha! Love that they’re one of your 5-a-day.

I’ve not seen the Tilda kids range in the shops before but looks like a great idea to help kids get introduced to new flavours. I love that they seem quick and easy to make too.
It’s my first time to hear about Tilda Kids and it sounds perfect on busy days when you need to prepare easy and nutritious dinner for the family.
I love that it’s ready in just 15 minutes! Also, such an amazing deal – Thanks for sharing!
This does look like a pretty great dish there. I love trying out new flavors and this looks delicious. I will have to see what my daughter thinks. I know she can be pretty picky.
This looks so yummy and easy to make. Next time I’m with the kids of my uncle I will try to make it for them.
I don’t have children but I can imagine that being able to feed your kids a healthy meal in short order has to be one heck of a feat. I am so glad that this product works so well for your entire family (and allows you to put your feet up). 🙂
I haven’t heard of this before but Tilda looks delicious and pretty simple to make. I will have to give it a shot because the kids are getting bored with the same old foods this summer break.
Ooooo! I didn’t realise they had diary free options too. I will for checking these out next time I’m in the supermarket as Kipper is a rice kid! In fact he’s only happy when he has rice for dinner. Both mine love curry too – it’s a Friday staple in our house x
Well hurrah for dairy free options! Mine love rice so I will have to get these!
Oh your daughters are so cute! Their photos reminds me of my childhood 🙂 I used to love eating next to my playhouse as well with my own mat. Glad the kids love Tilda’s
I have seen these in the shops, but haven’t ever got them as I dont have kids. Will pass onto friends. Look tasty! 🙂
These look brilliant! I often avoid rice because of how long it takes to cook. And with the Legoland discount this is pretty irresistible! #BigPinkLink
This is such an easy dish to make and I’m sure the kids loved it. We moms need easy and nutritious solutions like this one.
