👀 We want to hear from you!

What’s the trickiest part of mealtimes with your child? Is it trying new foods, sensory sensitivities, or just getting them to sit at the table?

No judgment here — just curious to hear what families are finding tricky (and maybe share a tip or two!) 💛

💬 Comment below and let’s start a conversation!

🍕 “Dinner is always just plain pizza or pasta.”
🌱 “I want them to try something new, but it feels impossible.”

Valentine’s Pizza = calm, family-friendly dinner 👇
✔ Familiar base = mini pizza or naan = safe & predictable 🍕
✔ Soft, meltable textures = sensory-friendly 😌
✔ Toppings served separately = choice without pressure 🌈
✔ Fun shapes & colours = gentle exposure to new foods 💖

Serve family-style — bowls of base, sauce, cheese, and toppings. Kids pick what feels safe first 🥦🧀

👩‍🍳 Let them spread, sprinkle, and decorate hearts — little jobs = confidence & curiosity at mealtimes 🌟

✨ One meal. Different needs. Less stress!

🌏 Trying new foods is one of my favourite parts of going on holiday — especially inspired by my love of Asian TV 🍜📺

I know first-hand what it’s like to be a picky eater as a child, so I get how overwhelming new foods can feel. That’s why I love experimenting with flavours and textures when I travel — and it’s proof that change is possible, even for fussy eaters 💛

What’s one food you were hesitant to try as a child but ended up loving?

👋 Hi, I’m Kirsty — paediatric dietitian, feeding nerd & calm-mealtime cheerleader.

By day, I help parents navigate fussy & sensory eating and make mealtimes feel less stressful (and a lot less lonely).

By night, you’ll usually find me:
☕ Fuelled by coffee
🌊 Walking along the beach (White Rocks forever)
📺 Watching Asian TV dramas
🍜 Trying new foods — proof that there is hope, because I was a fussy eater once too
✈️ Planning my next adventure… Asia is the goal, with South Korea & Japan top of the list

This page is for you if:
✨ Mealtimes feel hard
✨ You’re worried about what (or how little) your child eats
✨ You want practical, pressure-free support — not guilt

You’re so welcome here 💛

✨ One meal. Different needs. Less stress.

Chicken Satay made family-friendly 👇
✔ Rice as familiar base 🍚
✔ Chicken plain 🍗 or in curry 🍛
✔ Sauce as dip + blitzed veg 🌱
✔ Broccoli on the side 🥦
✔ Almonds for parents 🥜

👉 Try serving it family-style — bowls of rice, chicken, broccoli, sauce in the middle. Kids choose what goes on their plate = less pressure, more calm.

💌 Save this idea for dinner & share!

✨ What I was up to in 2016 ✨

A year that felt like ten years rolled into one.

🌊 Making the most of my final season living on the North Coast — beach days, leaving celebrations with friends, and my very first trip to Rathlin Island. Danny was leaving for Scotland & I was heading to England!
🎂 Being surprised by my big sister with a family leaving do (and the BEST cake), with my beloved Gran there too — a memory I’ll treasure forever 🤍
🎓 Starting my Assistant Professor in Dietetics role at the University of Nottingham
📚 Finishing my PhD viva write-up (on about 4 hours’ sleep… for a month 😅)
🏡 Buying and moving into my first home — exciting and wildly stressful
💍 Celebrating my wee sister’s engagement
✈️ Visiting Holly in Switzerland while she was on placement with Nestlé (cold, sick, allergic to penicillin… not my finest travel era 🥶)
🎨 Fully embracing the two-colour hair trend (no regrets 😂)
👶 Welcoming my first, very handsome nephew
🏡 And somehow ending the year settled into my first house in the beautiful village of Hathern

Exhausting. Emotional. Life-changing.
And proof that you can be completely overwhelmed and building something meaningful at the same time.
