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.
