I am all for buying Irish, so was so excited to hear about Pip & Pear chilled baby food. Irene Quealy is a restaurantuer from Co. Waterford who has combined her passion for food and motherly know how to create the Pip & Pear range. The business has gone from strength to strength and after sampling some of the range I can see why they have won so many awards!
We are not weaning in my house just yet, so I tried things out on myself and the fuss pot of a toddler I have. He is going through this phase of not really eating his porridge so I grabbed some of the Stage 1 pots to add to breakfast. I got involved too!
First up – Banana Blue (apples, blueberry and banana).
This is delish! Really sweet and gorgeous with porridge. The fuss pot cleaned his bowl that morning! He also had some that afternoon on the spoon and he devoured it. I will definitely be getting this again when I am weaning my little girl.
Next – Spiced Apple & Pear
This one is actually my favourite 🙂 I gave some to my toddler with some yoghurt and he loved it. So then I added it to yoghurt and museli for me – unreal! I think it’s the light hint of cinnamon that makes this one.
Finally – Lamb Tagine
The reason I tried this one is that I wanted to see if it would help me to get my toddler to eat some rice. I added it to some pilau rice, which he has been having issues with of late and it did the trick. There are lots of hidden veggies in this so it was great to sneak the goodness into him.
I will definitely be using these as a back up to my own home made stuff when weaning the little one – everything in these packs is natural, gluten free and dairy free which is so important, but also they taste amazing; so much nicer than other brands. I like the fact that anything not eaten by the weaning baby can be used up by toddler or mum as well.
Pip & Pear are available in Supervalue stores nationwide. If your local store does not have them in stock, they will happily order them in for you if you ask nicely 😊
