From breastfeeding battles and toddler food rebellions to school lunch fatigue and the eternal “what’s for dinner?” question, feeding a family is never just about food—it’s about love, control, tradition, and survival. In this episode, Elissa shares her war stories from the trenches of motherhood: leaking pumps, picky eaters, Pinterest lunch fails, family dinners, and the nightly short-order kitchen.
Along the way, she digs into the science behind kids’ nutrition, the emotional tightrope of body image, and the unexpected joy of teaching her daughters to cook. Because in the end, it’s not really about the peas or the pizza; it’s about the memories made around the table.
And if you’ve ever wished there was an easier way to answer “What’s for dinner?”—good news. Elissa and a friend are building Fork & Tell, a new app that helps families and friends share, organize, and pass down recipes that matter. Think of it as the recipe box reimagined for real life. Stay tuned: it might just save dinner.
Like a good meal, this episode is best when shared, so pass it along to a friend who’s ever faced the nightly dinner dilemma.
