Eat, Play, Love

Chefables

Cranky, unfocused, and, well, cranky.

Without a good lunch, your toddler is no picnic come late afternoon.

Swap out the PB&Js for Chefables, a new hot meal service that delivers to preschools and day care centers around the Bay Area.

Chef Ken Harris uses organic ingredients to create purees for infants (carrots and quinoa, peas and goat cheese) and three-coursers for toddlers (spaghetti with mini turkey meatballs, sweet potato tamales). Meals come individually packaged or family style with an optional tea-time snack.

Ask your preschool or day care center to sign up for the service or have Chefables do the negotiating.

Anyone familiar with the kiddie carbo-crash should be more than happy to oblige.
