How we talk about food and our bodies is picked up by our little ones! The conversation around the dinner table can be advantageous as it slows the meal down and allows for the family to learn a bit about each other. Although some topics may be hurtful as our kiddos grow and build their own relationship with food and bodies.

Shopping and cooking for one can be overwhelming, but check out these tips to make it easier for yourself! My favorite is utilizing the freezer section, and practicing cook once, eat twice. Although, it’s important to plan ahead at the grocery store to have enough of the ingredients to do so. How do you help keep yourself organized for the grocery store?

Hunger comes in many forms, and can present differently for each person. Recognizing which hunger you’re feeling can help you decide how to plan or address that cue.

For example, have a long work event coming up, or have to head over to the kiddos school after work for a play? It may be practical to have some dinner before you go so that you don’t end up extremely hungry during a time where you’re unable to eat. This may help you pick a dinner with a variety of nutrients that will keep you feeling full.

Establishing a healthy relationship with food is not always as easy as it sounds. Busy schedules, picky eaters, and mental health challenges can complicate our health goals even more. You don't need to take this on by yourself. Reach out and start you health journey for you or your child today.

Affirming our kids is so important. But if our affirmations always center around outward appearances, this can elevate looks, body type, etc. to an unhealthy place of importance in their minds. And when society tells them (and it will) that their looks or their bodies aren't good enough, the effects can be devastating.

Tell them what you see- inside of them, flowing out of them. You have the beautiful privilege of seeing what they have to offer the world before they do.

COVID-19 creative meal roundup! Managing everyone's food in my household has me feeling a little stressed these days. I'm trying to nourish everyone well, but not be wasteful or frivolous. And I'm also trying to adjust to the foods I can actually have at home and skip the store for now. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Today's lunch consists of some sauteed veggies (can be frozen too!), garlic (totally optional), peanuts (cheaper than other nuts), leftover noodles, and some soy sauce.

This is not gourmet, but it was tasty and filling. If you have picky eaters, I recommend offering them the same thing, just maybe with some plain noodles and veggies along with it.
What are you serving your family these days?? Stay healthy, friends! ❤
