How to Get Your Kids to Eat What You Prepare

Published: Jan. 19, 2020, 7 p.m.

Today's episode is all about how to get your kids to eat what you prepare!

I chat with Melissa, the woman behind the food blogger MamaGourmand.

Melissa is a Midwestern wife and mother of four who obsesses about food, loves to prepare gourmet-quality recipes, but is always short on time and energy. Daily, you\u2019ll find Melissa working out at the local YMCA, creating a calorie deficit so she can have dessert. Possibly...it might also have something to do with the free childcare.

Her recipes taste time-consuming, but use simple ingredients and directions. They are great for busy home cooks who love to make delicious, whole ingredient dishes, but don't want to spend a ton of time in the kitchen. From decadent desserts to classic comfort foods, find a recipe for everyone, many with gluten-free alternatives!

Melissa doesn't have time to be a short order cook for her family so ensuring everyone eats what she prepares is important.\xa0 Melissa offers great tips into how to make meal times less stressful for parents and I love her approach.

I'm not a parent myself, but I know that getting kids to eat a well rounded diet is hard, especially when there's things like chicken nuggets and pizza in the world.\xa0 Hello, I find it hard to eat a well rounded diet when there's things like chicken nuggets and pizza in the world.\xa0

There's no judgement in this chat, everyone does what they need to to get the job done, but if you're pulling your hair out with "yucks" and "no's" at meal time, Melissa's tips will help!
