So, you have a picky eater, you say?

I heard you loud and clear in our facebook support group the other day when I asked what deters you most from eating healthy. Most voted that picky eaters are the main cause of easy, less nutritious meals hitting the table because, hey, who needs a brussel sprout fight at 6pm, amiright? I took your input and super-charged your responses in hopes that I can help encourage you in the kitchen and eating wholesome meals as a family again!

#1 Tip: Plan it out

The most frustrating thing is reaching for that must-have ingredient at 5:30pm only to discover it is not there. Or, opening your fridge in hopes that something new teleported in since that last snack attack, but of course, same old. Making sure your pantry and fridge are well stocked is essential when trying to cut corners and make great meals in a snap. 

Picky eaters can make meal times hellish, and I'm lucky to only have two to worry about. Some of my best tricks have included pureeing vegetables to sneak in to recipes, coating everything in nutella, and straight up lying to them (hey, we do what we have to do, right?)

But I’d be a total loser if I didn’t tell you I've enlisted the help of a food delivery service to keep my sanity through it all, and highly recommend others to do so. I can read labels without kids in my shopping cart from the comfort of my pj’s and lavender almond milk latte. It helps me menu plan, budget and save time (and gas $$) by not have to driving to the store. There are lots of providers for this service today and I’ve attached my fav at the bottom here like a little love letter :)
