Figuring out what to make for dinner every night can feel like a full-time job—especially when you’ve got a picky eater at the table. This meal plan is here to take one thing off your plate, giving you simple, nourishing ideas so you can stop overthinking it.
Check out the recipes below and enjoy a little less stress at mealtime this week!
But if you’re looking at this menu and thinking, There’s no way my kid will eat this… you’re not alone. And you don’t have to resort to making separate meals. The truth is, picky eating isn’t just about finding the right foods—it goes much deeper than that. I know this firsthand. As a dietitian mom of three, I’ve been in the trenches, raising kids whose go-to foods at dinner were bread, fruit, and milk. And after working with hundreds of families, I understand how exhausting it can be to raise healthy kids who resist eating healthy foods.
The good news? My kids now eat and enjoy the exact meals that you see on this menu. And it’s not because I have some secret dietitian trick—it’s because I used a method that helps kids feel calm and confident trying new foods. That same method has helped hundreds of families break free from mealtime battles, and it can help you too.
So if you’re tired of dreading the age-old question, What’s for dinner?, and making multiple meals, my program is here to help. You don’t have to do this alone! Read more>>>
