If you’re constantly juggling everyone’s food preferences—cooking one meal for your husband, another for your kids, and then throwing together whatever’s left for yourself—I see you. Living with a picky eater can be exhausting, especially when you’re trying to eat healthy and not feel like a short-order chef every night.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I handle this exact situation in my own home (spoiler: my husband is very particular about what he eats 🙃). I’m giving you 5 practical tips to help simplify meals, support your health, and even encourage your picky eaters to slowly expand their palate—without turning dinner into a nightly battle.

You’ll learn:

🍽️ How to build mix-and-match meals that make everyone happy

🧠 Why you need to stop taking picky eating personally

🥦 Gentle ways to help your picky partner or kids try new things

💪 The power of prioritizing your own plate

🗓️ A simple way to plan dinners without overcomplicating your week

Whether you're feeding toddlers, teens, or grown adults with toddler taste buds (😂), this episode will leave you feeling more in control and less frustrated at dinnertime.

You deserve to eat well, too—and it doesn’t have to mean cooking three different meals.

🎧 Press play and let’s make mealtime feel a whole lot easier.
