Nourish with Connection

These questions are offensive to our kids and their first families (and us because these kids are a part of our family)! They are very personal details surrounding one of the most traumatic events of their lives.

If you want to be nice, ask these things instead:
✅“How can I help you?”
✅“When can I bring you a meal?”
✅ “What would be most helpful for your kids right now?”
✅“What do your kids like to do/eat/play?”

Yes, I spent hundreds of dollars , yet I still felt like I was saving a lot of money! You can't get quality snacks like these for these prices from anywhere else. These are just a few of our favorites that I came across today. What would you add?? Fun fact about dietitians: it's very rare for you to find one of us without snacks!😜

These are SOME of our favorite Costco snacks, not all, just the ones I saw while I was shopping today. I was really excited to see several of them were on sale! You can't beat these prices for quality snacks!👏

If your kids are anything like mine, they probably love sweets. But of course, our kids need to eat a variety of foods for optimal health. This fruit dip with Greek yogurt has been a game-changer in our house—sweet enough to feel like a treat, but with nutrients that help my kids stay full and fueled.

If you’re looking for a quick and easy fruit dip that satisfies sweet cravings and supports your kids’ nutrition, this is for you!

I love it when my husband and I tag-team dinner. I made the potatoes in my Ninja air fryer (seriously the best: air fry at 375 for 20 minutes and toss halfway through), green beans with garlic stir-fried, and he grilled pork chops = win!🏆🙌🤤

What's your favorite dish to make for family and friends?

Anyone else feel like everything’s great until your kid decides to stop eating their favorite foods? 😣

And if they had a limited diet to begin with, it’s even more distressing. How can they survive on 2 bites a day?! 😩

As a pediatric dietitian and mom I know how frustrating this can be, but I also know that it’s pretty common…

Especially if they are a toddler or recently experienced any big changes (starting school, a move, foster care, etc.).

There’s a good chance your kiddo is trying to find something they can control because everything else in life feels out of their control.

The key is to give them a sense of control without being a short-order cook. I share how to do this in my FREE mealtime guide which includes expert tips and family-style recipes!

If you want it, just comment “meals” below and I’ll send it over! Let’s make meals less stressful & more enjoyable!🙌
