Ever feel like you’re stuck in lunch limbo—standing in front of the fridge at 11:58 a.m. with no plan, no energy, and three hungry kids staring you down?

You’re so not alone. Today’s guest, Megan McNamee, co-founder of Feeding Littles and co-author of the New York Times bestselling book Feeding Littles Lunches, is here to help you ditch the decision fatigue and start feeding your family with more ease, flexibility, and confidence.

In this episode, we’re breaking down:

• Megan’s go-to lunchbox formula (hint: it’s genius—and easy to remember)
• How to raise intuitive eaters without pressure or perfection
• Tips for navigating picky eating, food guilt, and power struggles at the table
• What to do when your kid only eats beige food (because we’ve all been there)
• Summer survival strategies when it feels like the kitchen is open 24/7
• How to make packed lunches (even during summer) a breeze—not a burden

Plus, we chat about how Megan’s non-recipe cookbook is helping kids and parents get excited about lunch again (my boys are obsessed with it—and yours might be too).

🎧 Whether your kids are heading to summer camp, starting school soon, or just raiding the pantry on repeat, this episode is full of fresh, grace-filled ideas that make food feel fun again.
