And if you vaguely remember a meal called dinner that you used to enjoy….

Welcome. 

This is a space where you are seen, understood–and never judged. You are safe here.

I Believe…

Hi, I’m Sally

As a registered dietitian, I figured I should have the world’s most perfect eaters. Yeah, right! Like you, I used to agonize over toddler dinner strikes and beg my kid to take one more bite of broccoli. All I could think was: Feeding my kids shouldn’t be this hard! 

So, using my knowledge as a dietitian and my years as a journalist covering nutrition for major magazines, I decided to learn everything I could about feeding kids and change my tactics (and most importantly, my mindset) for the better. I began to relax and feel more confident about my choices. My kids became calmer around food. And the dinner table wasn’t a battleground anymore. I created this space to share what I’ve learned with you, to reassure you that it’s okay not to be perfect, and to let you know that there’s hope for happier mealtimes.
