TNC 107: Family Feeding Tips During COVID-19
April 9, 2020
Sheltering at home with kids? I’m sharing feeding tips while at home (and beyond) during the coronavirus pandemic.
I thought it was appropriate to record an episode on our collective new reality and how we can continue feeding our families in the best way possible during this unusual and disruptive time.Ā
I am now in the third week of having all four of my kids back home, and that means more mouths to feed, more groceries to buy, and more cooking.
Check out my cooking endeavors! I’ve perfected a Pulled Pork in the Crock Pot, Rutabaga Mash and Honey Wheat Bread in the Bread mixer.
And if Iām being honest, combining all of this with the general sense of uncertainty and anxiety that comes with this, mealtimes are sometimes stressful.

Join me on the podcast this week as I offer up some tips on food safety, anxiety, and some philosophical observations about how Iām dealing with mealtimes.
A lot of what Iām sharing isnāt new information, but sometimes, we just need a little reminder of the fundamentals to keep us in check.
"Let's make do with what we have. Let's try to be as balanced as we can, but let go if it's not 'perfect' and focus on being together with our family." Click To TweetThe Feeding Tips Youāll Learn:
