I’m breaking the cycle 🔁 by eating what brings me joy.

Growing up, I never saw my mom eating any sweets. In fact, she always spoke about them negatively and made me feel like they were something I should avoid.

Instead of treating sweets like this, I am changing the narrative because I want my kids to:

- Learn self-regulation by observing me enjoying sweets.
- See that self-control doesn’t mean complete abstinence.
- Realise that enjoyment of all foods is normal and healthy.
- Experience sweets as a normal part of life to prevent them from becoming overly coveted or tempting.

Enjoying sweets together also fosters family relationships and can even start new traditions. I mean, who doesn’t love an ice cream break on a sunny afternoon?

📍If your little one has an egg allergy, you’re trying to make a recipe vegan, or you’ve run out of eggs, you can utilize these handy options!

🥚Keep an open mind: not every recipe can use an egg substitute and come out perfectly. Egg is used as a way to bind foods together, add some fat, liquid and also aid in other chemical reactions needed to help baking occur properly.⁣⁠ Because of this, when you sub with something else the texture and consistency of your final product may change.

Here are some substitutions for 1 egg in a recipe:⁣⁠

🥚=1/4 cup mashed bananas: Used in brownies, muffins, cakes, and pancakes (you can also try applesauce, sweet potato or pureed pumpkin)⁣⁠

🥚=1/4 cup applesauce: Used in brownies, muffins, cakes, and pancakes (you can also try applesauce, sweet potato or pureed pumpkin)⁣⁠

🥚=1 tablespoon chia seeds + 3 tablespoons water: Let this gel for 5-10 minutes. This works well in muffins, cookies, cakes and more⁣⁠

🥚=1 tablespoon ground flax seeds + 3 tablespoons water: Let this gel for ~5 minutes. This adds a slightly nutty flavor to foods. I use it in fritters, meatballs, muffins, pancakes etc⁣⁠

🥚=3 tablespoons nut butter: This is SO good in brownies and cakes etc.⁣⁠

🥚=1/4 cup of Aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas); It helps to blend this in a blender for a minute or two. You can use it in savory dishes like meatballs/fritters. You can also use it in baked goods too.

🥚=1/4 cup silken tofu: Blend it up and use it in creamy or custard recipes, like cheesecake, brownies or even a vegan quiche.⁣⁠

🥚= 1/4 cup Greek yogurt can be used in a variety of baked goods to help bind the ingredients and add moisture.

Sometimes the approaches that we think will work backfire! (research proves this!)

Or we may only be doing some of these tactics during meals because that was what was done to US and how we grew up. But we can break the cycle and move towards more supportive and positive eating environments that not only reduce picky eating but make mealtimes more peaceful.

Comment “link please” and I’ll send you free expert-made feeding guides + over 100 strategies for helping your child learn to eat specific foods.

Btw after this he went right back to eating his normal menu except he has always referenced how empowered he felt by trying something new that day.

Harrison was 7 here and we were on a snorkeling trip with some of his friends and their parents. The dad in the video is a renowned chef and he showed the kids how to dive for urchins, then he prepared this one right on the boat. Up until this point Harrison had not tried a new food since he was a baby doing BLW…I thought for sure he would decline eating raw sea urchin because uhhh hello!?

He didn’t! He tried it because he saw his friends eating it.

Kids will try new foods when they are exposed to them in different environments.

It may not be first or second time it’s offered, but it can happen eventually.

Here’s the thing: kids can’t try new things if they aren’t offered new things! So don’t stop offering!

I didn’t think I’d break the internet when I didn’t use plates one night at dinner 🤣

Just a reminder that no matter what you know, how well your child eats, or how you feed your child there will ALWAYS be haters

For some reason, people will use feeding kids as a huge pain point to judge your parenting skills. SO ignore the haters and confidently own the decisions your make for your family as the best ones 💚

What comments have you gotten from others about how you feed your kids?

Here are 3 phrases to DITCH at the dinner table and what to say instead to build trust, not tension. Because mealtimes shouldn’t feel like a battlefield

👎1. “Just one bite!”

🎙️*Why not?*

→ This adds pressure and makes kids shut down.

✅Try this instead:

👉 “You don’t have to eat it, but you can touch or smell it.”

*Why it works:*

Encourages low-pressure exposure = success over time.

👎2. “You liked it yesterday!”

🎙️*Why not?*

→ Kids’ preferences fluctuate, and this can make them feel invalidated.

✅Try this instead:

👉 “It’s okay if you don’t want it today.”

*Why it works:*

Builds trust. When they feel safe, they’re more likely to try again later.

👎3. “You’re being so picky!”

🎙️*Why not?*

→ Labels stick. It reinforces the behavior you’re trying to change.

✅Try this instead:

👉 “Looks like that food isn’t your thing

*yet.*”

*Why it works:*

Adds hope, keeps the door open.

🤔Do all foods need to be discarded if they have mold?

🦠I have often wondered if a food is still okay to eat when the moldy part has been cut off and the rest looks just fine. And I’ll admit that I have done this a few times before 😬

👉However, according to the USDA, molds have very thin root threads that stay below the spores that we often see on the surface of foods. And these molds can potentially cause allergic reactions, respiratory diseases and, in some cases, even poisonous substances that can make people sick.

🧀There are a few types of food that can be used if the visible mold is cut off at least 1 inch around and below the visible mold spot. Make sure to keep the knife out of the mold itself so it will not cross-contaminate other parts of the food. This can be the case for harder foods with low moisture content, such as hard cheeses and firm fruits and veggies (like cabbage, bell pepper, carrots…)

➡️For the following types of food it’s safest to discard completely:

- soft fruits and veggies (strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, peaches…)
- soft cheese (cream cheese, cottage cheese…)
- bread and baked goods
- nut butters, legumes and nuts
- jams and jellies
- yogurt and sour cream
- cooked dishes (leftovers)
- lunch meats, bacon or hot dogs

🏠When cooking for a family food safety is always a big concern, no one wants to see their little one sick. However we also don’t want to be wasting food, I personally hate throwing out food.

📲We have put together a guide in our app, Kids Meals App, on Food Safety and Storage to help you store foods in a way that minimizes food waste and can help you be confident in serving the best to your family.

Picky eaters raise picky eaters 👀 Little eyes are always watching (and copying)!

If a child sees a parent avoiding certain foods, making negative faces, or refusing to try things, they interpret that behavior as bad or un*safe (Cooke et al., 2004).* Likewise, if a child grows up in a household where few new foods are offered, or food variety is low, they don’t build that *tolerance* for unfamiliar tastes (Fildes et al., 2015).

We don’t say this to make you feel bad. But it is important to be self-aware about your own eating habits at the table.

Parental food fussiness is a predictor of child food fussiness. If you are feeling like your habits might be negatively impacting your child, we’ve got you covered!

Who else feels like their toddler is surviving off of air and hopes and dreams??!

It’s different for every child, but there can be some developmental reasonings for this!⬇️

1. Growth velocity slows down compared to their first year. They’re still growing (and fast) but it is at a different rate! You may see more “spurts” and “plateaus” and appetites can reflect this! We talk more about this in our Nutrition for Growth Guide in the app📲

2. Food selectivity can increase due to an increase in autonomy, independence and general language development. They start expressing taste, texture and smell preferences and we’re navigating a whole new set of meal time challenges.

Either way: keep offering a favorite food on the plate, and small portions of non-preferred foods. As tough as it is navigating these challenges, keeping it cool has proven to help. And if you’re struggling still, our pediatric feeding team has got you! Send us a DM for more tips!

📍Save for the days you need a pep talk

Remember, kids make up their nutrient needs across several days so a missed meal here in there is to be suspected 💚

Dinner is exceptionally challenging after a full day of activities and other meals! Overstimulation and exhausting can lead to a decrease in food intake.

There are strategies to increase the likelihood that dinner time is eaten like involving your little one in meal prep or choosing what is served. We offer over 100+ easy food ideas on how to realistically get your child to interact with the food, so they learn to eat it! Comment “link please” and we’ll send them to you!

If offering a choice, do so often and offer only two choices. For example, “do you want straight or curly pasta? Garlic bread or grapes as a side? Blue or red cup?”

Sometimes you can set them up for success and they still might not eat dinner. Instead of making them a separate option or offering a snack right after refusing to eat, try offering leftovers before bed.

Some kids do benefit from an extra snack before bedtime so if that works for your family, great!

This happened several months ago, but I still think about it often, so I thought it would be important to share again.

Those thoughts of “that will never happen to me” creep in daily, often when we don’t even realize it

The thing is, I KNOW how to prevent choking. Yet, I let the hustle and bustle of rushing out of the house in the morning impact my judgment

For breakfast, I gave the boys Babybel cheese and didn’t follow through with our strict loving boundary of sitting and eating. What’s the harm if I don’t do it this one time?

Besides, Graye was almost four. He’ll be fine I thought.

Truth is, it’s our job as parent to prevent injury. No, we can’t do it all the time. But let’s control the things we can.

Minimizing choking risks boils down to

1. Serving the appropriate textures, shapes and size of foods

2. Minimizing distractions at mealtimes

3. Enforcing kids sit at mealtime

I could dwell on the “what ifs” and “should haves” all day

Instead I’m going to focus on

✅ my husband’s quick thinking and him paying attention to our kids eating while I stepped away

✅ the benefit of our frequent conversations about the difference between gagging and choking

✅ that Graye is ok. In fact, he ended up throwing up and went straight into a dance party like nothing happened (thanks dad for keeping your cool)

If you don’t know the top choking hazards-learn them. In fact, we have them listed out for FREE in the app (comment LINK PLEASE and I’ll send it to you!).

Take this as a reminder to do those CPR courses if you haven’t.

We are all doing our best yet it’s helpful to have the reminder to not let the stress of the world get in the way of parenting. Work hard and love those kids harder 💚

Does your child throw their food at mealtime?

Although there are many reasons this could be happening, it can be helpful to create the expectation that food stays on our plate.

To decrease food throwing it’s important to figure out the WHY and to teach kids a replacement behavior that meets the same needs as food throwing.

This is when the NO-THANK-YOU BOWL comes in handy!

Many kids throw their food because they don’t want that food and aren’t sure what to do with it.

If you’ve tried this out and it isn’t working, it could be you don’t have the right “why.” It’s important to have a customized approach for your child. We walk you through how to do this in the Food throwing guide to help navigate this! Comment LINK PLEASE and I’ll send you the link to try out Kids Meals app 🙌

“It is NOT ok mom” 🚫

Bri, behavior analyst here! Have you been in the perpetual hamster wheel that is ‘trying to convince your toddler something is in fact ok’ when they think its most definitely not?

If you are thinking ‘heck yes!’ then I feel that😬

But there is something I want you to consider…. this hamster wheel can actual make things harder for you🙃.

So what do I recommend instead? ⬇️

If you know that something will likely cause your little one to get upset, offer two choices of things they can have. If you forgot to do this and are faced with the above situation, instead of immediately trying to ‘make it right’ or offering something else, offer two choices of how you can change the outcome of the current situation.

🍌Right after Graye said “NOPE🚫” to that brown spotted banana I:

1. Offered a short phrase on what the expectation is right now:

✅”Banana is a choice for snack right now”

2. Offered two problem solving choices:

✅”I can peel it or I can cut it in a bowl”

3. Here is where things get tricky…if your child refuses the banana you can say:

✅“I understand, I will leave it on the table if you want it or you can wait until dinner”

OR they might just make a choice and eat it! Graye ended up choosing for me to peel it and ate the whole thing!🥰

We have tons of tips like these in the Peaceful Meals Guides in the App if you are looking to make feeding your kids less stressful. Comment LINK PLEASE to download📲!

Have you tried one of these tips? ⬇️

Have a veggie refuser 🥦❌ on your hands?

Hi-Bri (Board-certified behavior analyst) here! Veggie refusal can be a tough stage to manage for many families. You want your kiddo to eat balanced meals and get in those important nutrients — but they just aren’t having it 😝 What’s one to do?

I know you mean well when you try and sneak those veggies in. But doing so can have a big, negative impact. In fact, I have worked with kids that start to refuse their favorite foods in fear that they had been “messed with.”

For positive, mealtime strategies for tackling those veggies comment VEGGIE HELP and I will send them your way 💚

Who else is tired of the endless lunchbox packing???

We get that it’s a lot!

The mental load of figuring out what they will likely eat + what will last or stay “good” in the lunchbox by the time they eat it + the portions for how long they will be gone.

There’s so much trial and error, and sometimes we nail it, other times we definitely don’t 🤪.

If you want to not to have to think about what to offer or want some instant inspiration check out our 30 days of lunchbox ideas in our meal plans! Comment “link please” and I’ll dm it to you!

In the meantime here’s some recent inspo:

- Dried mango + mini naan + homemade hummus + cheese + sliced strawberries
- Blackberries, energy bites (recipe in the app), raisins, and coconut banana muffin (recipe in app)

Who else is tired of the endless lunchbox packing???

We get that it’s a lot!

The mental load of figuring out what they will likely eat + what will last or stay “good” in the lunchbox by the time they eat it + the portions for how long they will be gone.

There’s so much trial and error, and sometimes we nail it, other times we definitely don’t 🤪.

If you want to not to have to think about what to offer or want some instant inspiration check out our 30 days of lunchbox ideas in our meal plans! Comment “link please” and I’ll dm it to you!

In the meantime here’s some recent inspo:

- Dried mango + mini naan + homemade hummus + cheese + sliced strawberries
- Blackberries, energy bites (recipe in the app), raisins, and coconut banana muffin (recipe in app)
- Veggie straws + hummus + berries + natural fruit roll ups + turkey
- Peanut butter and jelly + blueberries + snap pea crisps + mandarin orange
- Pancake mix muffin (recipe in the app) + bamba puffs, cheese wheel + berries

Serving cereal again? Yes, and that’s okay.

On the busiest mornings (or honestly, on the normal ones, too) cereal can be a real win.
Many brands are fortified with essential vitamins and minerals like iron, B12, and folate, which growing kids need. Pair it with milk (or a fortified plant-based option), and you’ve got a quick, balanced start to the day.

You may see some accounts that make you feel bad about serving cereal, but we get it. Sometimes, you’re just trying to keep your head above water and preparing an elaborate breakfast is not on the list. We’ve all been there!

✨It’s not about perfection. It’s about nourishment, ease, and showing up. Cereal counts.

Before anyone comes at me for this: yes, I know I am the one who decides what gets ordered.

But let’s be real here — sometimes you just don’t feel like dealing with a meltdown in public. Moreover if you are at a fancy place. So, story time:

I had to take Scarlett with me to this gorgeous resort because I was working on a blog post for them. Part of the experience was having dinner at their fine dining restaurant. 4-year-olds plus 5-star restaurants = disaster.

Except, if you are prepared for dining out, it doesn’t have to be.

Comment DINING OUT and I’ll send you my top tips for making eating out with kids a pleasant experience.

Does your kiddo love juice?

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends* limiting fruit juice to:
Under 1 yo = None
1-3yo = 4 ounces (i.e. 1 juice box!) daily
4-6yo = 4-6 ounces daily
7+ yo = 8 ounces daily

While this can of course be done, it can take time for those used to drinking more!

Suddenly she’s Gordon Ramsey?

I feel like it doesn’t matter how much time I spend making food, lately there is always an issue with the meal.

It’s times like these I try to remember the Division of Responsibility — it’s my job to decide what to serve, but it’s her job to decide how much (if any) she’s going to eat.

The Division of Responsibility helps address picky eating by clearly defining roles for parents and children at mealtime. Parents are responsible for providing a variety of nutritious foods at regular mealtimes, while children are responsible for deciding how much to eat and whether to eat at all.

This approach encourages children to explore different foods at their own pace, reducing pressure and stress. By trusting their own hunger and fullness cues, children are less likely to develop negative associations with food, helping to reduce picky eating and fostering a more positive eating environment.

We have a whole guide about that in Kids Meals app. Whether you’re looking for quick, nutritious meals or need support on how to approach mealtime struggles, Kids Meals provides you with the resources you need to feel confident in your choices. ⭐️Comment LINK PLEASE to download.

Comment BANANA MUFFINS and I’ll send you the recipe 🍌

Comment BANANA MUFFINS and I’ll send you the recipe 🍌

I’m pretty sure I hear “YUCKY” 10000x a day 😅

Toddlers love using words like “yucky” and “gross” at meals — even if they’ve never tried the food! Why? They hear it elsewhere (like when eating sand 🤪), or copy what other kids say.

Your instinct might be to convince them it’s not yucky… but that can actually backfire, especially with picky eaters. Staying neutral gives them space to form *their* opinion — and maybe change it later.

🌟Here are some easy, practical things you can say instead to remain neutral about those foods

1. Validate ❤️ It is ok to think some foods are yucky. Remain neutral and try saying:

👌“ok”

🍽 “if you don’t want to eat that right now you can leave it on your plate”

🍲”I put ______ (list foods) on your plate, you can decide what you’d like to eat”

1. Redirect! Try start taking about your day or talk to a different person in the room. The goal here is to change the topic without talking about the meal.

2. Teach problem-solving: “You can eat what’s there or be all done.” Or try asking “is there something we can add to this to make it taste better-like a dip?”

3. Model things they can say about the food that doesn’t involving describing how they think it tastes. Think ‘color, shape, what animal eats it, where it grows, etc.”

What foods has your child said ‘yucky’ to lately? ⬇️

Does your child throw their food at mealtime?

Although there are many reasons this could be happening, it can be helpful to create the expectation that food stays on our plate.

To decrease food throwing it’s important to figure out the WHY and to teach kids a replacement behavior that meets the same needs as food throwing.

This is when the NO-THANK-YOU BOWL comes in handy!

Many kids throw their food because they don’t want that food and aren’t sure what to do with it.

If you’ve tried this out and it isn’t working, it could be you don’t have the right “why.” It’s important to have a customized approach for your child. We walk you through how to do this in the Food throwing guide to help navigate this! Comment LINK PLEASE and I’ll send you the link to try out Kids Meals app 🙌

2. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. For a smoother batter mix in a blender.

3. Heat a non-stick skillet and grease with a couple of drops of olive oil (coconut oil or butter), place 2 tablespoons of batter on the skillet to make the body, 1 tablespoon for the head, 1/2 tablespoon for each of the legs and ears, ~1 teaspoon for the tail. If you have a small pan do

Posted @withregram • @kidsmealsapp 💙Do you have a Bluey lover like I do? ⬇️

I’m still in my ✨Pinterest mom✨ era, so when I saw the Bluey toast featured on @officialblueytv I knew I had to try it out for Scarlett.

We had just watched the new episode “The Sign” and Scarlett was so emotional that I needed a quick way to redirect her attention while honoring her feelings. 🍓I used what we had on hand, so I made some modifications to accommodate our ingredients (and my skills haha) as well as to ensure I would have as little food waste as possible. I promise you, this only took me 10 minutes to make.

🧡Bingo Toast

Ingredients:

2 slices of bread

Peanut butter (or any nut butter)

1/4 of a banana

2 purple or black grapes

1/2 strawberry

Steps:

Cut two triangles out of one slice of bread (set the rest of the slice aside since you will need it later)

Set up the triangles at the top of the other bread slice for Bingo’s ears

Spread peanut butter across the “face” to make Bingo’s fur color

Next, cut two circles out of the remaining bread to create the base for Bingo’s eyes

Cut the banana into three slices to use for Bingo’s eyes and nose base

Use the tip part of the banana to create Bingo’s snout

Cut the two grapes in half.

Use the grape halves to create Bingo’s pupils and nose.

Cut a slice from the remaining grape half to create Bingo’s mouth.

Slice the remaining banana into strips to use for Bingo’s markings and eyebrows

Slice the strawberry in half and cut out a small triangle at the top to create a heart for extra Bingo love!

Present this snack to your Bluey lover and prepare to accept your Mom of the Year crown!

Tips to reduce food waste:

Cut the banana before you peel it. Cover the remaining banana in foil and save it for later.

Eat the other half of the strawberry as a reward for making this amazing snack. You deserve it!

No matter where your child is on their eating journey, we’ve got a plate swap for you!

Modifying the way you present food is the first step at getting your child to:

1. Eat a variety

2. Pique their interest in trying new foods

3. Increase the likelihood that they will eat non-preferred foods

Children do best at listening to their bodies when age-appropriate portions are served. A good rule of thumb is to start with 1-2 TBSP per food item per year and offering more if they want it.

For kids who eat very little:

Try offering even smaller portions! Every child eats different amounts and if you don’t have a ‘big eater’ it can be helpful to offer smaller portions to avoid overwhelming them. Also, these smaller portions might even get them to eat more food than they used to!

For kids who love snacks:

Try offering those snack foods during meals. This avoids kids learning that refusing their meal will equal snacks. By having a favorite on their plate, it also gets them more eager to sit at mealtime.

Have you ever thought “I am really not that hungry” but find that once you take a bite you actually do have an appetite? That’s because eating promotes more eating! By having a favorite on your child’s plate they are likely to try those other foods 🙂

For kids who always avoid those new and non-preferred foods on their plate:

Try drawing their attention to those foods. Research shows by pairing something your child likes (like a favorite color or character) with a non-preferred food you can actually increase the preference of that food!

Making mealtime fun with different tools can take the pressure off eating and get your child more likely to try those unfamiliar foods.

Comment LINK PLEASE to get everything you need to know about making mealtime easier with your child, over 700+ recipes, and 365 days of meal plans in our Kids Meals app.

Have you tried one of these plate swaps? Let us know below!

Try offering even smaller portions! Every child eats different amounts and if you don’t have a ‘big eater’ it can be helpful to offer smaller portions to avoid overwhelming them. Also, these smaller portions might even get them to eat more food than they used to!

For kids who love snacks:

Try offering those snack foods during meals. This avoids kids learning that refusing their meal will equal snacks. By having a favorite on their plate, it also gets them more eager to sit at mealtime.

Have you ever thought “I am really not that hungry” but find that once you take a bite you actually do have an appetite? That’s because eating promotes more eating! By having a favorite on your child’s plate they are likely to try those other foods 🙂

For kids who always avoid those new and non-preferred foods on their plate:

Try drawing their attention to those foods. Research shows by pairing something your child likes (like a favorite color or character) with a non-preferred food you can actually increase the preference of that food!

Making mealtime fun with different tools can take the pressure off eating and get your child more likely to try those unfamiliar foods.
