This Giveaway is now closed. The winner is Vanessa W. Winner will be contacted via email.
Over the last couple weeks I have been hinting on the Skinny Mom’s Facebook Page that I have been working with a company on developing a healthy recipe for kids. Well the day has come where I can get on the rooftop and announce to the world who the company is and what I have been doing. Do I sound a little excited? If so, it is because I am.
Plum Organics, an organic baby food company, contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if I would create a recipe, for their Plum’s Little Foodies Cookbox, using one of their products. At first, I was a little hesitant because my kids are way past the baby food stage. But then I remembered – I am going to have a little nephew in a couple months – so what better time than the present to get familiar with the baby food that is currently available.
So I went to work. I decided to create a macaroni and cheese cup recipe. Macaroni and cheese has become a staple meal on the dinner table for many busy families. It is quick and easy but, as we know, not always nutritious. This classic toddler friendly comfort food gets a healthy makeover with whole grains, pureed beans, Greek yogurt, and Plum Organics Sweet Potato, Corn, and Apple Puree. These Macaroni and Cheese Cups are freezer friendly making them perfect for a simple grab and go lunch or snack.
Oh my these are good – and good for you!
You will be happy to know that I tested this recipe on 5 different kids and 3 adults – all of them giving the macaroni and cheese cups 2 thumbs up!
You can view the complete recipe over at the Little Foodies Cookbox.
Now let’s talk about the giveaway! Plum Organics is giving away a Plum Organic Yum Kit to 1 lucky Skinny Mom’s Kitchen reader. This kit has an assortment of Plum Organic products and coupons.
Here is a picture of the actual kit you will recieve.

Already a Skinny Mom fan on FB, now for Plum Org too. Love their puffs for babies. Fave baby food to make was spaghetti b/c I just pureed a little of our “adult” version, adding extra veggies and healthy goodness…both my kids loved it. The food my kids probably liked most was carrot and raisin puree.
carrots
This kit would be great! My son’s favorite food right now is green apples and any type of berry. I also have an infant and her favorite food is breastmilk
probably wont get anything from any of my kids and grandkids for mothers day, so this would a TREAT for me. Grandma gives and never anything in return. Would make my heart happy to receive this
My son is 2 now but I still give him these pouches a few times a week just to make sure he gets some fruits/veggies (still struggling with that). We have tried many brands and Plum Organics has great ones! He really loves anything mixed with banana.
