Part 8: BONUS: Healthy Dinner Ideas for Families
Since the start of this series, you’ve discovered that veggies at breakfast can flip the whole game upside down—and adding extra nutrition at lunch? Totally doable with a few simple swaps. But what about dinner?

Part 6 Bonus Episode: Interview with My Kids
Today’s episode is a little different—and a whole lot of fun! I invited my two boys, ages 12 and 5, to come on the podcast and share their real thoughts about vegetables. You’ll hear their honest (and sometimes hilarious) answers about what veggies they love, which ones they don’t, how our family eats differently from others, and what they’ve learned on our journey to building a healthy food culture at home.
If you’ve ever wondered what kids actually think when we sneak spinach into muffins or serve salad for dinner, this episode will give you hope, laughter, and some real-life encouragement. Because if my kids—who once thought veggies were “disgusting”—can now talk about their favorites on a podcast, there’s hope for your family too!
👉 Tune in for a lighthearted, behind-the-scenes conversation that proves kids can learn to love veggies—one bite (and one funny story) at a time.

Part 5: How to Mealprep Breakfast So You Don't Lose Your Mind
Getting kids to eat veggies is hard enough—serving them at breakfast can feel downright impossible. But what if I told you that in just one hour a week, you could have spinach muffins, carrot cake oatmeal, and even zucchini-loaded waffles ready to go… without becoming a short-order cook every morning?
In this final part of the Helping Kids Love Veggies series, I’m taking you straight into my kitchen to share the exact system and recipes that make healthy breakfasts realistic for busy moms. No gimmicks, no perfection—just simple, make-ahead meals that your kids will actually ask for.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
✅ My 1-Hour Breakfast System that makes mornings stress-free.
🧁 Why spinach chocolate chip muffins are a picky-eater game changer (and my must-have muffin tip).
🥕 How baked oatmeal doubles as “carrot cake” for breakfast—cream cheese topping and all.
🧇 The secret to freezer-friendly waffles that kids love and moms feel good about.
💪 Why these swaps are so much healthier than boxed waffles, instant oatmeal, and mini muffins (with real-life nutrition comparisons).
If you’ve ever wondered whether the effort of homemade is worth it, this episode will leave you inspired and equipped to make healthy breakfasts doable—and even fun—for your family.

Part 3: Why Breakfast Might Be the Best Time to Win the Veggie Battle
Tired of ending every day with a dinnertime veggie showdown? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to stay stuck there.
In this episode, we’re flipping the script and talking about a surprisingly simple shift that could change everything: moving veggies from dinner to breakfast.
You’ll see why mornings can be a hidden sweet spot for introducing new foods, how this one change became a turning point in my own home, and why it just might be the path of least resistance you’ve been looking for.
We’ll uncover what’s really hiding in popular breakfast foods like Fruit Loops, Eggo waffles, and flavored oatmeal packets (hint: it’s not the fuel your kids need), how those choices affect your child’s energy, mood, focus, and hormones, and what nutrients actually set them up for a great day.
I’ll share our family’s journey from sugar-filled, processed mornings to veggie-loaded waffles, muffins, and oatmeal—and how those small morning wins built momentum for bigger changes over time.
If you’ve been craving a little hope that your kids can learn to enjoy vegetables, this episode will help you see a new way forward—starting with the first meal of the day.

Part 2: Building a Healthy Food Culture at Home
Are you tired of the dinner table battles, the “how many bites do I have to eat?” negotiations, and the constant struggle to get your kids to eat vegetables without a fight? You’re not alone — and the problem might not be your cooking at all.
In this episode, we’re going beyond the plate and into the mindset that shapes your family’s food culture. You’ll learn how to shift your home from “picky eater chaos” to a healthy, joy-filled approach to food — one that teaches your kids to enjoy vegetables, try new foods, and understand how nutrition helps them feel their best.
We’ll cover:
The hidden “food culture” already shaping your kids’ eating habits.
Why mindset comes before menu when building healthy family eating patterns.
Simple ways to connect healthy foods to what your kids already care about.
How to create awareness without shame so your kids make better food choices on their own.
The power of consistency (even when you want to give in).
If you’re ready to trade mealtime meltdowns for healthy habits your kids will carry into adulthood, this episode will give you the tools — and encouragement — to make it happen.

Part 1: End the Dinnertime Battles
If getting your kids to eat vegetables feels like starting a war, you’re not alone. In this first episode of the How to Help Your Kids Love Veggies series, I’m taking you behind the scenes of our family’s journey from chicken nuggets on repeat to kids who willingly eat — and even enjoy — their veggies.
You’ll hear the real story of what it took to go from dreaded mealtimes and constant food battles to building a healthy food culture in our home — one that shapes my kids’ tastes, attitudes, and lifelong relationship with food.
We’ll talk about why “food culture” matters, how it’s already at work in your home (whether you realize it or not), and the mindset shifts that can help you start changing it — without guilt, perfection, or living in the kitchen.
This isn’t just about broccoli. It’s about creating an atmosphere that makes healthy eating normal, joyful, and sustainable for your whole family. And it’s the foundation for everything we’ll cover in the rest of this series.
