A no-judgments zone about feeding a family.
It’s been a while since I’ve done a What We Ate Wednesday, and there’s a very good reason for that–and it may just be my biggest downfall as a blogger who writes about food and eating: I can’t remember to take photos of what I eat. Or what my kids eat. Or what my husband eats. …
Before I dive in, here’s the deal: I’ve had comments on my WWAW posts in the past along the lines of “This isn’t enough food” and “I would starve if I ate like this”. As I’ve said before, I’m a small person, and my appetite fluctuates quite a lot from day to day. And when I’m …
I haven’t featured my sixth grader in this What We Ate Wednesday series in a while for a reason. He’s been having some stomach pain that has made feeding him difficult. I want to respect his privacy and not share lots of details but suffice it to say that his appetite has been limited, as …
Hello readers. Real Dad here. Sally has once again “volun-told” me to track and provide commentary on my food intake for a day. Those of you who read what I ate the last time may notice some familiar ruts patterns. Please, allow me to explain further. Breakfast I’ve said it before – I’m no foodie. …
Enough of you have told me you missed What We Ate Wednesday that I’m bringing it back twice a month (or whenever I remember to take photos before the food is eaten which is, surprisingly, not as easy as it sounds). And speaking of your feedback, have you taken my super-short Reader Survey? If not, hop …
My second grader had the day off from school yesterday, so I thought it was a perfect opportunity to show you his natural inclination for grazing all the day long. (Unless you label a food as “dinner”, of course. Then he has very little interest.) For breakfast, he had three small whole wheat pancakes that we had made together …
Fish for breakfast, buttered peas as a bedtime snack, and the dream-come-true of mac & cheese twice in one day! Just another day in the life of my seven year old, Sam. For breakfast, he had a toasted blueberry bagel with cream cheese, orange slices, and a glass of milk. Then he asked for a piece of breaded …
This week’s What We Ate Wednesday is a special travel edition. I just spent the last four days in Nashville, Tennessee for the annual Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo, a mega-meeting of nutritional professionals like myself. Here’s a recap of my last day there: I met friends in the hotel restaurant for breakfast. After four days …
Those of you who’ve been following this new feature, What We Ate Wednesday, may have noticed the radio silence last week. That’s because I was sick for much of last week and wasn’t up for snapping photos of the glasses of ginger ale I was drinking while laying on the couch. But after many naps and some good …
I’m not gonna lie: This wasn’t a banner day for my 11 year old. Too much sugar. Not enough veggies. I could go on. To be perfectly honest, part of me was tempted to scrap What We Ate Wednesday altogether and fake some kind of blog technical malfunction. But the whole point of WWAW is to …
Well, hello. Joel here (Sally’s husband). She’s asked me to document everything I eat for one day. I’ll warn you upfront – I tend to be long-winded. But I also promise you this – you will be SHAKEN TO YOUR APPLE CORE when you find out what a “real dad” eats on a typical Tuesday! Like Sally, I’m a recovering picky …
Welcome to a brand new feature! A lot of bloggers do “What I Ate Wednesday”. It’s technically what they ate Tuesday (but posted on Wednesday) and details everything they had for the day. I decided to do my own spin on it and show you what we ALL eat–including my husband! And in typical Real Mom Nutrition style, I’m going to …
