The podcast about the joys (and meltdowns!) of feeding our families and ourselves. Every week we examine how diet culture, body image issues and our own hectic lives get in the way of putting a dinner on the table that we can all feel good about. And we offer practical, road-tested tips to help you make peace with your own eating (or your kid's picky eating!) and find more joy in your family's food life. Hosted by best friends and writers Amy Palanjian (creator of the popular blog Yummy Toddler Food) and Virginia Sole-Smith (author of The Eating Instinct).

    In Which We Take A Hiatus (And Talk Back To School Mental Load)

    We're starting this episode with a sad announcement: We're taking another hiatus. (Thanks to COVID, remote schooling, 2020 in general...) But before we go, we're downloading all of our thoughts about the mental load of back to school season — especially this year, when many kids (like Amy's!) are still stuck at home, and others (like Virginia's!) are going to school in tents.  We also discuss:  Our favorite lunchbox. Amy's exhaustive insulated lunchbag research.  And even more exhaustive idea lists for daycare lunches, kindergarten lunches, and disposable lunch gear.  Oh and the super cool sandwich sealer!  In less good news, we mentioned programs like Pandemic EBT, which at recording time, we thought would be re-authorized, but as of writing these show notes, has not, with dire consequences. So, you know, Vote Biden.  Find us @v_solesmith and @yummytoddlerfood on social media or email comfortfoodpodcast@gmail.com.   FEEDING YOUR FAMILY, THE COMFORT FOOD WAY Our new e-book takes you through 8 concepts that will form the foundation of your understanding of how to feed kids and give you a firm starting point for improving mealtimes in your house.

    All the Anxiety, Sad Eating and Food Overwhelm

    We are just OVER food right now. So this week, join us to commiserate about how often children need to be fed, but why they don't like the snacks you bought, how boring it is to keep making dinner and what to do about feeding yourself right now, because we're betting it's been a minute since you did that first.  This episode includes shout-outs to the wisdom of Dr. Rachel Millner, Dr. Katja Rowell and Nicki Sizemore of From Scratch Fast.   Find us @v_solesmith and @yummytoddlerfood on social media or email comfortfoodpodcast@gmail.com.   FEEDING YOUR FAMILY, THE COMFORT FOOD WAY Our new e-book takes you through 8 concepts that will form the foundation of your understanding of how to feed kids and give you a firm starting point for improving mealtimes in your house.

    What Amy Ate For Dinner Last Week (Because Kitchen Burnout Is So Real Right Now)

    Amy shares a week's worth of real life dinners to (hopefully!) share a little cooking inspiration during these days when meal prepping and making can feel somewhat endless. She talks about meals from a recent week that included Homemade Pizza, Shrimp and Broccoli Pasta, Bean and Cheese Quesadillas, BBQ Baked Chicken and Rice, Burgers and Alexia Sweet Potato Fries (also known as why would you make homemade fries when these frozen ones are so good!) and more. Amy also shared one tip that helps her break out of a cooking rut and feed herself first.   Find us @v_solesmith and @yummytoddlerfood on social media or email comfortfoodpodcast@gmail.com.   FEEDING YOUR FAMILY, THE COMFORT FOOD WAY Our new e-book takes you through 8 concepts that will form the foundation of your understanding of how to feed kids and give you a firm starting point for improving mealtimes in your house.

    What If Doctors Stopped Weighing You (and Your Kids)?

    For this week's mini, Virginia is chatting about the process of reporting her new feature for Scientific American: What If Doctors Stopped Prescribing Weight Loss?  We're getting into what the science really tells us about weight and health, the harm caused by weighing patients as a default medical practice, and what to do at the pediatrician's office.  Here's a letter you can use to explain your decision to skip the weigh-in at your doctor's office.  And here's a letter you can use to explain your decision to skip weight talk at your pediatrician's office.  (Both via Anna Lutz, RD, who joined us for episode 44 on why kids don't need to diet!) And here's The Racist Roots of Fighting Obesity by Lindo Bacon and Sabrina Strings, which ran alongside my story in Scientific American.  Find us @v_solesmith and @yummytoddlerfood on social media or email comfortfoodpodcast@gmail.com.   FEEDING YOUR FAMILY, THE COMFORT FOOD WAY Our new e-book takes you through 8 concepts that will form the foundation of your understanding of how to feed kids and give you a firm starting point for improving mealtimes in your house.
