HI! WE’RE AMY AND VIRGINIA

AND WE’RE HERE TO HELP YOU FIND THE JOY IN THE DAILY CHALLENGE OF FEEDING YOUR FAMILY.

We know how hard it can be to feed a family day in and day out. There are the logistics of meal planning and grocery shopping, the mental load of making all the decisions about who will cook what, and when, and how to make a meal everyone will eat. And then there’s everybody’s mood and behavior once you actually get to the table.

We know because we’re in this, every night, with you. But there are tangible steps you can take to make mealtimes happier for everyone at your table. (And everyone includes you!)

In How to Relax about Picky Eating, we’ll take you through 8 concepts that will form the foundation of your understanding of how to feed kids and give you a firm starting point for improving mealtimes in your house. We’re here to reassure and inspire. We’re here to remind you that you’re doing a good job. We’re here to let you know that you’re not alone in the daily challenge of feeding your family. We’re here to help.

Maybe you find feeding your kids to be stressful and confusing—and you’re constantly worried about what the kids are (and aren’t) eating. Or you dread family dinners because you never know what the kids will like and agree to eat from one day to the next. Or feel like your kids are picking up on some of your own food preoccupations and you’re looking for help to raise them with more body positivity and less anxiety about food. This ebook is here to help.

Here's a peak inside:

TRUSTED ADVICE FROM RELIABLE SOURCES

We know—from our work as a recipe developer and health journalist, from the 60+ podcast episodes we’ve recorded on these issues, and from our own lived experiences as parents—that it is possible to create a framework for family meals that avoids pressure, guilt, power dynamics, and crazy diets. You can make one meal for everyone at the table. You can raise kids who enjoy, but aren’t completely obsessed with, treats. You can feel confident that your kids are getting the nutrients they need even if (when!) they don’t eat everything you make for dinner. And you can feed yourself first and feel good about it.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Amy Palanjian and Virginia Sole-Smith are the co-hosts of the Comfort Food Podcast, the podcast about the joys (and meltdowns!) of feeding our families and feeding ourselves. (Find it on Apple Podcasts or at comfortfoodpodcast.com.) It’s about dealing with picky eaters. It’s about fighting back against diet culture. It’s about food, feminism, and families. It’s about real life.

Amy is a writer, recipe developer, and creator of Yummy Toddler Food. Virginia is a journalist, author of The Eating Instinct, and frequent contributor to Parents and New York Times. Between us we have five kids, twelve lunchboxes, and two blenders. And we eat a lot of pasta.
