Care & Feeding: Ugh, Whats For Dinner?

Published: July 29, 2024, 7 a.m.

On this episode: Lucy, Zak, and Chris Duffy answer a question from the Slate Parenting Facebook group about what to do when dinner rolls around. This member of the group would be perfectly happy with toast or popcorn, but also wants to make sure their toddler grows up with a healthy relationship to food. We\u2019ll share some low-effort, high-tastiness ideas for the weeknight dinner rush.\n\nWe\u2019ll also try out a new segment called Just Checking In \u2014 where we\u2019ll share what\u2019s on our mind this week. Then, for Slate Plus listeners \u2013 we\u2019re circling up on the Playground and talking to Chris about his new ebook, all about making and keeping platonic relationships.\n\nIf you\u2019re not part of the Slate Plus community, we hope you\u2019ll consider joining!
