FEED

Our pre-​school recently used dietician, Lara Field, to review & make healthy changes to our school lunch menu. I tried a few of her suggestions at home (ex: make your own pizza on a whole wheat english muffin) and was shocked when my extremely picky 4.5 yr old ate it. From there I booked an appointment with Lara with the hopes that she’d give me some more healthy suggestions of what to feed Miss Picky and mealtimes would stop becoming a battle.
Since our first meeting over a month ago I’ve used so many of her meal and snack suggestions and am so pleased w/​the way my kids are eating. Unlike his sister my 2 year old has always been a very good eater, but it’s even been helpful when it comes to feeding him.
I like that Lara is realistic. My daughter absolutely refuses to eat any fruit so she’s told me there’s no need to try giving it to her. She also completely understands that I don’t have the time nor the desire to cook, yet still has ways for my kids to eat healthy without cooking. For those who do like to cook there are some great recipes on her website… and her pinterest page is full of helpful info whether you cook or not.
I had a follow-​up meeting w/​Lara this week and feel like we’ve already made so many improvements (thanks to her), yet I still came home with new meal/​snack ideas from our time together.
Highly recommend if you have a picky eater, a kid with food allergies or other limitations (celiac?) and/​or are just clueless (like me!) on what to feed your kids.

I have Celiac disease and a severe dairy allergy. Lara helped me discover some great GF brands and she even gave some recipes to me to make. She values nutritional content but also attempts to find yummy food that fits the requirements. In addition she helps inspire post-​workout meals, after-​school snacks and fast breakfast ideas.
