Recently an ecard comic with the caption, "why do they want dinner every
single night?" went viral on Facebook. Any mom can tell you why. We've
all felt that same familiar despair as evening creeps inexorably towards
us...what can I make for dinner? We wonder. It needs to be nutritious.
It needs to be relatively quick and easy. It needs (and this is the most
difficult one of all) to be eaten and liked by everyone. It seems to be
an impossible task some days!
Well, moms everywhere will heave a sigh of relief for the new McCain® Harvest Splendour™ Medleys. Potatoes and vegetables have been trusted side dishes for years, but when dinner needs to get on the table in a hurry, who has time to prepare both? Now, with McCain® Harvest Splendour™ Medleys, McCain Foods is breaking with tradition and bringing potatoes and vegetables together, creating the perfect side dish solution. These new medleys provide a wholesome and well-balanced side dish to complement just about any meal, and can be seasoned to taste and made in only 12 minutes.
The beauty of McCain® Harvest Splendour™ Medleys in addition to being a quick and easy way to prepare both potatoes and vegetables together, there are four different varieties, and each comes with its own separate seasoning pouch, so you can dial up or down the spices based on the tastes of your family.
When the UrbanMoms Go2Girlz were offered the chance to sample McCain®
Harvest Splendour™ Medleys, our product testers jumped at the
opportunity. So, what did our panel of real-mom product testers have to
say? Their overall consensus was great! Almost all our testers loved
McCain® Harvest Splendour™ Medleys, and most said they would
buy them again - in fact, many told us they already had. Our testers
told us that the product was quick and simple to prepare, and in fact
most of them would recommend it to a friend. And since finding meals
that the whole family will enjoy is also important, we asked the
Go2Girlz to tell us what their families thought of McCain®
Harvest Splendour™ Medleys. Once again, nearly everyone loved
them...moms, dads and kids alike - even many of the picky eaters were
fans.

I sampled these recently at Loblaws, and thought they were fantastic! a perfect side dish to chicken, fish - anything really! flavourful, fast and my kids loved it.
Very Tasty and kids loved it but the packs are small and dont feed my family. I wish they had bigger sizes
Sooo yummy.
These were great! my husband and daughter loved them!
Its a yummy quick side dish to a steak or chicken dinner!!! and kids love it!
Delicious way to get my kids to eat more veggies!
LOVE! So handy. My kids and husband loved them. These are a super time saver when you are rushed to make dinner after work. Thanks McCain! Great product!
We loved the 3 Potato flavour, and I just picked up the Broccoli one to try next... Can't wait!
This was a great quick and easy dish, my husband wanted to know what I put on the potatoes to make them so tasty! Both kids loved them and they pair well with almost anything. And they are lower in calories than other frozen potato dishes we have tried! They will be a regular addition to the freezer!
We tried the Three potato medley. It got thumbs up from all 3 picky kids and 1 picky husband, although he got his late and it was a bit soft and soggy (it didn't stay nice and crisp very long) - a few minutes under the broiler and it was ok.
I'd buy it for the big family dinners, but I don't think we'd purchase on a regular basis.
I was really impressed, easy to make, did not have to add any extra seasonings to it at all, tried the 3 potato medley and would buy it again!!
This dish was so easy and fast. Everyone in my family enjoyed it. Great price also!!
This worked out pretty well. I usually have a bag of mixed veggies in the freezer for last minute dinners, but can see add this as well.
My daughter is a fussy eater and turns her nose up at vegetables, but she tried the Potatoes and Broccoli and finished her plate. Success!
I really enjoyed this dish, it was quick to make and quite good.
Love the convenience of having a potato side dish that can be quickly sauteed or microwaved. I love potatoes but immensely dislike the usual peeling, cutting, par boiling etc etc. This product is a reasonably priced alternative.
Super easy and delicious, too! A great item to keep on hand.
A great option for weeknights, when prep time is limited.
I loved sneaking in sweet potatoes to my girls (they hate them) but didn't notice them!
Wasn't really our thing. Potatoes were mushy and it didn't wow any of us.
My teenage son gobbled up not seconds but thirds of this dish! I had to take it away in order to make sure the rest of the family had some!!
My girls both would have ate more if there had been 2 packages instead of one! I know better now :) buy 2
Quick and easy, and not a bad taste either!
We tried the broccoli version and my kiddos weren't too pleased..my youngest liked the potatos and not the veggies..I would definatly try them again tho maybe in a different flavor :D
My daughter is spoiled by my homemade roast potatoes, so this wasn't a big hit with her ... What I loved was no prep work! Potatoes and veg together, already cut up and ready to go.
We tried this and I was very happy that both my girls, fussy eaters loved it, and asked for more, which we didn't have anymore, Will repurchase this, and a quick fix for dinner too.
We tried the broccoli potato mix and everyone loved it. Both my kids ate it all and asked for seconds. It was simple to make, which is great when you have limited time to ready for dinner.
My kids weren't happy to see their broccoli and potatoes mixed together. But the taste was great and they were very easy to prepare. I already have a bag of the Three Potato Medley in my freezer to try next.
This is so easy to make and everyone loved it, which doesn't happen lots in my house. It is great for those nights when there is really no time to make supper, goes with anything. Will definately purchase again.
i found this product super easy to prepare and really saved time for a busy mom. it tasted great and the family definately liked it. i find it cheaper and more rewarding to prepare meals from scratch but i would use it again if i needed a quick side dish.
The seasoning packet was my favourite part of the preparation. A convenience item that leaves you in control! I like it.
My family was not impressed with the flavour I picked. potato and mushroom, the spices were not to their liking. I am however going to be picking up some of the other flavours to try out because it made a quick side dish!
These are really good for a great and quick meal
I tried the Potato & Broccoli medley & was pleasantly surprised. Lots of great veggies mixed in with the potatoes. Spice mix was tasty. Easy to whip up and a great side dish when you are in a hurry & don't have a lot of prep time. Makes a nice change from fries or rice.
I bought the Broccoli flavour to try, and my husband and I liked it--my daughter not so much, but she doesn't like potatoes anyway. I thought they were fairly healthy for a convenience product, so I may buy them again.
Thse are so simple to make and delicious. My husband and daughter loved them but my husbands wishes they were just a little bit spicier!
Everybody in the family really loved the 3 potato medley. The flavouring was fantastic and it was SO easy to prepare. I'm going to try the other flavours now.
I didn't like that there was cheese in the mix.
