3 steps to building healthier, happier connections to food and and family meals
Does any of this describe you?
★ You’re a mother and the primary home cook.
★ Feeding your family feels like a daily struggle. Sometimes, you dread dinnertime. Maybe always.
★ You feel like you never know what to cook, or what your children will eat.
★ Getting your children to make healthy choices is a constant battle.
★ You loved to cook before having kids, but now you lack time and inspiration.
★ Cooking was never your thing, but now you feel pressure to feed your family nutritious meals.
★ You lose your patience if your child makes a mess trying to “help”, your dish doesn’t turn out “right,” or your family doesn’t eat it.
If so, you’re not alone. These are just some of the many challenges mothers - and other caregivers - face in the kitchen. And luckily, there are solutions!
