A new survey from Ronzoni® Smart Taste™ finds that more than half of moms of kids aged 3-12 find it challenging to feed healthy foods to their kids. Parents say taste (32%) by far is biggest reason why. Looks (10%) and texture (9%) follow as next biggest reasons. The top three “yuck factor” foods of kids (aged 3-12) out there are sardines (63%), liver (59%) and beets (50%). Close runners up are Brussels sprouts (49%) and okra (48%). Despite the nutrient packed punch these foods deliver, kids everywhere are wrinkling their noses at the plates before them.

Check out one mom’s story of the great lengths she goes to in order to get her kids to eat healthy, and how she solves the dinner dilemma. We think you can relate!

Ronzoni Bistro Review

August 7, 2008 By

For an easy pasta meal any time of the day, Ronzoni has created their new Bistro line of pasta dishes that come in an easy-to-microwave pouch. We received one of each of the varieties to sample:

Penne with Chicken and Broccoli – Penne pasta cooked with
white-meat chicken and broccoli tossed in a light rosemary and garlic
cream sauce

Linguine with Chicken and Mushrooms – Linguine pasta cooked with
white meat chicken, mushrooms and tomatoes tossed in a white wine and
cream sauce

Rotini with Tomato and Basil – Rotini pasta in a savory
vine-ripened tomato sauce with onions, garlic and sweet basil

Spaghetti and Meatballs – The classic spaghetti and meatballs
simmered in a rich tomato sauce with seasoned herbs

Nathan ate Spaghetti and Meatballs one night for dinner when he was headed out to a sleepover. It smelled great but I thought the sauce lacked a fresh flavor. I also cook our spaghetti al dente, so the consistency of the noodles was softer than Nathan is used to, but he ate it all and said his favorite part was the meatballs.

Kaitlyn ate the Linguini and Mushrooms for lunch one day, and although the portion size was much too large for a toddler, she ate bites of everything including the mushrooms and tomatoes and seemed to enjoy it.

The Rotini with Tomato and Basil was my pick for lunch one day, and I thought the sauce was much better than the sauce in the Spaghetti and Meatballs. Again, I would prefer more al dente noodles, but otherwise it was satisfying and I didn’t have to wait for water to boil, cook noodles, heat up sauce in another container, and dirty up all those extra dishes. 90 seconds in the microwave, pour it into a wide bowl, and it’s lunch! Pretty cool!

You can find Ronzoni Bistro pouches in the pasta aisle of your grocery store, and the suggested retail price is $2.79 for each 8-ounce meal.
