181. Help! My Child Has Very Few "Love It Food" Options for Dinner
This week, we are talking through - How do you handle adding variety when your child has a small “Love it (foods)" list?
Particularly at dinner, this can be challenging to know how to navigate our child's nutritional needs (and/or our perception of them) with what as a family we have on the menu.
We want to make one meal that everyone enjoys, and yet, as a mom alludes to on today's episode, that can feel particularly difficult when our child is really specific about the foods they like.
How do we meal plan when our child has such few preferred (love it) foods?
If we change from red apples to another kind, does it still work as a love it food?
Does milk count as a love it food?
We tackle these questions and more in today's episode.

180. Don't Make THIS Meal Planning Mistake (Spoiler: I did last week!)
On today's episode, I am telling you the meal planning mistake I made last week!
I use my own free weekly meal plan (http://www.veggiesandvirtue.com/planner) for simple, healthy meal ideas for my family. But what I failed to do was actually work through step one from my Meal Planning Playbook (http://www.veggiesandvirtue.com/playbook).
The good news is, as I share on today's episode, we can always course correct midweek and learn from our mistakes next week. And I am thankful for the permission to grow in this area I have learned to give myself instead of setting unrealistically high ideals that exhaust me to try to carry out.
It's really, really hard to be consistent with those kinds of self-imposed demands amidst all the real-life demands we as moms carry.
So, take your meal plan this week and run it through a real run through, like that outlined in my Meal Planning Playbook (http://www.veggiesandvirtue.com/playbook). Doing so will help you identify ways that you can make your family's meal plan work smarter for you...so you don't find yourself needing to work harder than you already do!
