Listener question: Nutritional Choices for Families

Feeding a fussy family can be daunting. Different nutritional needs such as allergies and varying diets such as vegan, vegetarian and others can make it very difficult to plan meals for a family without cooking 5 or 6 different meals. So what can we do? I have 2 picky eaters, one with food allergies, and I eat a plant-based diet. Here are my top tips for making sound nutritional choices for a picky family: 1. Involve everyone in the meal planning. Do what you can to cook separate entrees at the same time with one appliance, like my example with the barbecue. When children are old enough to help, they can cook their own part of the meal. Planning ahead helps with budgeting, shopping, and a sense of ownership when everyone helps. 2. Less shopping, more preparation. Have some meals interchange. Use the same ingredients for different meals, make sauces in large quantities in advance, and don't waste ingredients. 3. Prepare the meals at the start of the day for the whole day. Chop the veggies, portion the meats, lay out the recipes, and make sure everything is ready to go. That way, when it's time to prepare dinner, all you have to do is throw it together and the kids can help. Here are my tips for making the right nutritional choices: 1. Eat a color rainbow. A beautiful visual variety is more stimulating. Different colors of foods provide different nutrients and all are important. 2. Do the best you can to get organic meats. Avoid meats with antibiotics and growth hormones and possible exposure to glyphosate, or Roundup.
