Raising Veggie Loving Kids

Kids aren’t born hating vegetables. We teach them that.

I know, that stings. But here’s the truth: when babies start with pureed bananas and rice cereal, then move on to “kid food” like chicken nuggets, mac-n-cheese, and pizza, they learn early that veggies are optional. That path leads to more than picky eating—it often means recurring trips to the pediatrician for ear infections, allergies, asthma, skin issues, and more.

I’ve lived both sides. With my kids, I did what everyone else was doing—and I paid the price when their health and eating habits suffered. Transitioning them later was tough.

But I got a do-over with my grandkids. Two live next door, and their parents wanted something different for them. They didn’t want the same cycle of sweets, fast food, and struggles. They wanted their kids to grow up choosing real food, loving vegetables, and thriving. And that’s exactly what we’re seeing.

If you want that too, I’ve created resources to guide you every step of the way:

A step-by-step roadmap for parents who want to prevent picky eating or turn it around. Perfect for expecting parents, those starting solids, or anyone battling mealtime meltdowns.

You’ll learn how to:

• Start kids off with a veggie-first approach (from pregnancy through early childhood).
• Close common nutrient gaps like iron, fiber, and vitamin C. 
• Make meal planning fun (instead of a daily fight). 
• Handle real-life challenges: daycare food, allergies, eating out, or travel. 
• Batch cook and snack smarter with simple hacks. 
• Understand why cutting back dairy and processed foods can improve immunity, focus, and overall health.
   

With printable tools like the “Eat the Rainbow” chart, plus real-life lessons from a grandmother who’s been there, you’ll feel equipped and encouraged—not judged.
