In the midst of kids, homework and after-school activities, life can get really busy and finding time to meal prep and stick to a perfect meal plan can seem daunting. We're excited to welcome back Sally Kuzemchak, our amazing registered dietitian to get all the details on her new meal planner. As a mom of two boys, Sally understands the struggles of fellow parents and wanted to create a resource that would allow families to plan dinner with no stress or guilt. Her meal planner emphasizes the fact that we all get busy, things don't always go as planned, and it's important to have staple “detour meals” to turn to when life happens. She reminds us that cereal for dinner is acceptable. Because sometimes that's all we can handle, right parents?! I know that I struggle with being consistent with meal planning. One week I am great and I seem to have it all figured out, then the next week the kids are asking about dinner and I don't think I even had lunch yet. Those weeks happen! That's life! That's 100% normal, and thankfully Sally understands that. And that's why we love this podcast episode and hope that you will too

This episode of the Healthy Family Project podcast is all all about how to shop for organic foods. We're joined by Sally Kuzemchak, our official registered dietitian and author of RealMomNutrition.com. Sally dispels the myths and breaks down everything you need to know about buying organic. You can't walk into a grocery store without seeing all sorts of labels making bold health claims including organic labels on fresh and packaged foods. There is a lot of confusion among shoppers around what the organic label means, does organic equal healthy, and what nutrition information should actually be taken into account when making food purchases. As Sally notes "organic cookies are still cookies" and shoppers should not be duped into thinking organic always means the food item is healthy. Sally breaks down the meaning of organic when it comes to food labels, what we should know about the dirty dozen list, and what food items to prioritize when it comes to deciding between conventional and organic.

Feeding advice is everywhere. Eat together. Check. Expose children to nutritious foods. Check. Live happily ever after. No way! Here's what no one talks about. Feeding kids is not always fun or easy. And not all kids respond the same way to the same strategies. There is a need to get real about expectations and what it really feels like to feed a family. Not a make-believe family but a real one. On episode 25 of the Healthy Family Podcast, we have on Sally Kuzemchak. She is a registered dietitian and creator of the popular blog Real Mom Nutrition, named Best Blog for Parents by Health magazine in 2015. Sally is the author of the new book 101 of the Healthiest Food for Kids. She is also an award-winning reporter and writer specializing in nutrition who currently blogs for Parents magazine and WebMD. Sally shares with us her stories, advice, challenges, and triumphs in the feeding realm. She also outlines best practices for introducing nutritious foods kids which is what her new book is all about.

What are the healthiest foods for kids to eat? From kohlrabi and watermelon to lentils and chickpeas, today's guest rounds up the 101 healthiest foods every kid everywhere should put on their plates and into their tummies. Registered dietitian, Sally Kuzemchak is a mom of two, founder of Real Mom Nutrition, and author of the awesome new book, The 101 Healthiest Foods for Kids. Sally joins me with highlights from her book including advice for feeding finicky eaters, tips for getting kids to try new foods, super healthy recipe ideas, and realistic food rules to make family mealtime a breeze (or close to it).   What you’ll hear in this episode: Sally’s “mom-life” in Columbus, Ohio with her husband, two sons ages 10 and 14, and her dog, Copper. The Real Mom Nutrition online platform, started in 2009 as a no-judgement zone and resource for feeding kids a healthy diet. How Sally started out as a writer, fell in love with the subjects of nutrition and women’s health, and then went back to school to become a registered dietitian. The two biggest challenges for parents: lack of time and dealing with picky eaters. Why Sally wrote The 101 Healthiest Foods for Kids. How the 101 foods were chosen; Sally wanted them to be accessible at most grocery stores. How the book can be the inspiration to get kids (and adults!) to try new foods. What the book includes: Food category chapters (fruits, veggies, grains, protein foods), nutrition information on each food, and shopping, storage, prep, and serving tips. Why the book includes a “try it” tip for each food and 26 great recipes. Sally’s Red Lentil Snack Cookies, made with red lentils, peanut butter, chocolate chips, oats, applesauce, and maple syrup. Other ways to add lentils to recipes include mixing them with ground meat for tacos and sloppy Joes. How Sally feels about “sneaking new foods” into recipes vs. full disclosure. How Sally uses kefir, the fermented dairy drink, that makes a great base for smoothies, can be swapped for buttermilk, and used in marinades and salad dressings. Sally answers another question about adding a sweetener like sugar, maple syrup, or honey to carrots. News flash---it’s OK to use sweetness, fat, and salt to help flavor vegetables. Some of Sally’s “Ten Healthy Food Rules to Live By:” Offer fruits and vegetables at most meals and snacks Be neutral about desserts Eat together as much as possible Focus on having a happy mealtime The weirdest food in Sally’s book? “Probably kohlrabi, which is a trendy new vegetable that looks alien and intimidating but has a crispy white flesh that can be eaten raw.” How to cut kohlrabi (watch this YouTube video.) Why many moms have guilt and angst about feeding kids and Sally's advice for adding ease to feeding kids. Resources: Giveaway News: We're giving away a copy of The 101 Healthiest Foods for Kids.

First up, Sarah and Amanda share tips and hacks from other mother runners plus anecdotal advice from their own decades of running (and, in the case of Amanda: coaching!). Ways to wake up--and get out of bed--more consistently and how to start putting your miles as soon as possible after your feet hit the floor. How to remove obstacles that slow you down, like contact lenses or having to prepare a pre-run snack (thank you, GoGosqueeZ!). Then the duo talks to Sally Kuzemchak, the genius behind the websiteReal Mom Nutrition and author of the time-saving cookbook, Dinnertime Survival Guide. A font of great advice, Sally suggests figuring out your mealtime “pain-points” are (no, she doesn’t mean the kids constantly bickering!!)—then offers solutions to eliminating that barrier. (Including this website and downloadable handouts from Sally’s site.) Sally offers loads of lunch-making guidance, plus ideas for healthy snacks for mother runners. Laugh along with Sarah’s slip of the tongue for another name for a slowcooker, and find out what YoYo Night is—and why it’s a brilliant idea!
