My Husband’s Recipe Nearly Tanked Dinner—Here’s How I Recovered

You know that moment when dinner hits the table and your kid looks at it like it might bite them first? In today’s episode, I’m spilling the real story behind a recent mealtime with my kids that could have gone sideways—but didn’t. Why? Because of one powerful strategy that turned skepticism into second servings.

I’m sharing exactly how I handled a totally unfamiliar meal (cooked by my husband, no less!) and guided my kids from “what is THAT?” to “can I have more?” You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes of how I made real-time food connections, added safe foods, and built trust—without giving in or turning it into a power struggle.

This is your peek inside my brain and how I handle meal rejection in the moment. If you’ve ever wished for a picky eating expert in your back pocket, this episode is the next best thing.

Oh—and spoiler alert—pickles saved the day. 🥒
