How We Feed Our Family Pets (Brought to you by The Farmer's Dog)
Have you ever wondered what's the best thing to feed your dog? We’ve got answers! Here's everything we've learned about the best food for dogs and how we feed ours. We’re delighted to present today’s episode without ad breaks in partnership with our friends at The Farmer’s Dog . Get 50% off your first box at thefarmersdog.com/DIJFY . Links from this episode The Farmer's Dog was founded by two dog lovers who decided to reimagine pet food from the ground up. In the same way that we at DIJFY believe that parents should have access to the info they need to make the best decision for their families, The Farmer's Dog wants to empower all dog owners to make the best feeding decisions for their pets. Here are a just few of the reasons why we love The Farmer's Dog and think that you will too: Real Food: The Farmer’s Dog is real, fresh, healthy food! Every meal is made with a variety of whole meat and veggies that are gently cooked in human-grade kitchens to preserve their nutritional value. Personalized: Just tell The Farmer's Dog about your dog and they’ll deliver personalized, vet-developed recipes for as little as two dollars a day. (Seriously!) Pre-portioned: Meals arrive in pre-portioned, ready-to-serve packs, conveniently delivered on your schedule. This makes feeding time so easy that the kids can even help (you know how much we love that). It also makes it easy to maintain a healthy weight, which is a major health indicator for dogs. Convenient: Did we mention that personalized, vet-developed recipes show up at your doorstep on a schedule that you determine?! You honestly cannot beat the convenience, which is a major lifesaver for us busy parents. TASTE! We say it all the time for the humans in our families and the same goes for our dogs: at the end of the day, food needs to taste good! Ziggy, Miles and Daisy all concur that The Farmer's Dog is gobble worthy. There's never less than a licked clean bowl in either of our homes. It’s honestly never been easier to invest in your dog’s health with fresh food.

Go Ahead and Give The Kids Their Snacks with Andrea Mathis of Beautiful Eats and Things

How We Talk With Our Kids About Junk Food
Junk food. So delicious. So fun. So… controversial? We attempt to define junk food and, well, kinda fail. Because in the end, all food exists on a nutritional continuum and where you draw your line has to do with personal factors that cause us to land in all different places. So where does this conversation net out? We share where each of us lands, why we land there (including acknowledging our hypocrisies), and how we talk to our kids about junk food in hopes that exposing it all gives you food for thought — you know, the nourishing kind.

Is Homemade Pizza Actually Worth the Effort?
Pizza is a beloved family food — it is cheap, readily available, and can even be a vehicle for getting them to eat more vegetables. We recognize that delivery might be faster, so this week we’re debating the merits of making pizza from scratch at home. Do you shortcut the dough? Skip homemade sauce? And what is the best cheese for pizza at home anyway? We’re covering it all (or most of it anyway) in the next 60 minutes. This week’s episode is made possible by Cabot Cheese.

Tips for Getting Your Tween to Eat Healthy Lunches At School

Make Ahead Breakfast for Back-to-School
Being a fully functioning human at 6 am is hard. As much as we have the idea that “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” drilled into our collective conscious, we just cannot deal with having to feed ourselves and our kids a healthy meal every morning from scratch. That’s why make ahead breakfasts are critical to eating well in the morning. Sure, make ahead breakfasts will make your back-to-school season better, but there are many seasons of parenting where a prepped-and-ready or self-serve breakfast comes in handy all year long — and it might even mean you get to sleep in.

You’ve heard each Meghan and Stacie make the case for meal planning and meal prep, but this week’s guest David Tamarkin, Epicurious’ Digital Director and Author of Cook90 , brings a new idea to our virtual dinner table: cook once and eat twice at every opportunity with intentional leftovers. This simple concept is game-changer for meal planning and prep —, especially for busy parents. We talk with David about High-Intensity Interval Cooking, which staples make the best leftovers (and maybe which make the worst), plus he tells us how beans gave him a glimpse at parenthood and how Intentional Leftovers can help you create a cooking cycle that works, even when you don’t feel like cooking.

Should you Kondo your Kitchen?
Everyone’s talking about Marie Kondo and her KonMari method of organizing, detailed in her best-selling book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up , and featured in her runaway Netflix hit, Tidying Up with Marie Kondo . Meghan’s a fan and Stacie’s not sold, but they both agree that different rules apply in the kitchen. The catch: they don’t agree on what the rules should be. What happens when nothing in the kitchen sparks joy? Or when a pared-down kitchen leaves little that sparks joy for your kid, who you’d like to see take more ownership in the kitchen? And what about the fact that, as family cooks, our needs are constantly shifting as our children (and their schedules) grow and change? This week, Stacie and Meghan grapple with the idea that, perhaps, joy is not the best guiding principle for busy family cooks trying to organize and pare down their kitchens.

Dietician Katie Morford of Mom’s Kitchen Handbook helps us think through issues like how to quickly read food packages, determine if pricey supplements are worth it, and figure out if hiding veggies and other nutrient-dense foods are valuable as we try to figure out which foods live up to the labels they’re given.

Aggressively Helpful Cooking Tips for Holiday Cooking
Food writers, editors, and recipes developers love good food and want to spread food joy. Truly, we do! But we also have jobs that rely on selling magazines and getting enough clicks to sell ads on the sites that hire us. So sometimes we can get a bit, well, aggressively helpful, as Meghan puts it. In this episode, Stacie and Meghan get honest about the holiday cooking tips, kitchen strategies, and eating mindsets that we find actually helpful to get us through the holidays not just feeling sane, but feeling happy and focused on what matters most: spending time with our families.

In our second of three episodes exploring sugar, renowned child nutrition expert Jill Castle brings her magic as a long-time expert and mom of four. Every bit of what Jill says is shared mom-to-mom, yet still manages to be a concrete expert tip shared without judgement. Even when Stacie decides she hasn’t been handling dessert well — for years. But it’s cool, because Jill walks her through what to do. And shares plenty of tips so that you’ll walk away with a plan of what to do too.

The Beast Hiding In Your Pantry
There’s something terrible lurking in our pantries. And you bought it knowingly. Even worse? It’s hiding in other foods you bought, too, some of which you may be aware of, but many of which you aren’t. Creepy, right? Even creepier is that some people consider it poison. Even worse, our kids — our precious BABIES — are addicted to it. It’s SUGAR!

The United States of Food Issues?
Interviewing is an art we’re still mastering, so perhaps it’s no surprise that our very first curveball comes courtesy of Food Network star Aarti Sequeira , who you may not know is also a trained journalist. We interviewed Aarti for our series on picky eating, but she managed to expand the conversation in such a compelling way that we turned it into a stand-alone episode. There was talk of picky eaters, but Aarti tapped into much something larger — so we had to also. Welcome to something different this week.

When It Comes to Picky Eating — The More You Stress, the Worse It Gets (with Amy Palanjian of Comfort Food Podcast)
In the last episode in our three-part series on picky eaters, we explored the topic from perspectives on two ends of the age spectrum: Amy Palanjian of Yummy Toddler Food spoke to us as about picky young ones while Debbie Koenig chimed in about older picky eaters. Does it get better? Does how we intervene when they are young improve our picky eaters as they grow up? We may never really know, but talking to each other helps. And maybe that’s what matters most: Helping each other so that we can all relax and let go a little.

Chop, Chop, Om — Real Life Meal Prep Tips as Self Care
Mention meal prepping and visions of spending our entire Sunday in the kitchen dance in our heads. But is this really what it takes? We chatted with the queen of meal prep, Tracy Benjamin of Shutterbean , to find out. Because we had a feeling there might be a different way. As it turns out, there are several different ways. And if you find the one that's right for you, you might even start to think about meal prepping as a form of self care. Go figure. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Meal Planning Isn't Magic (But You Should Do It Anyway)
Admit it: Six o'clock on a weeknight is the worst time to be the family cook. The kids are cranky, everyone is hungry, and who knows what your picky 3-year old is going to actually eat tonight. Staring into the fridge wondering what the hell you're going to pull out is one way to get the job of feeding your family done, but what if there was a better way? In the first part of our two part meal planning mini series, Meghan walks us through the magic of meal planning and Stacie asks the tough practical questions about whether meal planning is right for every family and what we can do instead to take the stress out of Wednesday night dinners, because Wednesday are the worst!

The Inconvenient Truth about Dining Out With Kids
Here's an idea: Let's take feeding kids public! We’ll bring them to a restaurant full of other adults who aren't compelled to think that our kids are cute. We’ll pay to make the experience happen. And let’s throw waiters who are loathe to deal with our small people in the mix, too, so we can pay them extra for having to serve us. Sounds fun, right? This, friends, is dining out with children. Let us speak of why we partake of this ritual. Because, yes, we believe it's worth it. (But, yes, it's possible we're just crazy.) Thank you to our sponsors One Potato and Elmhurst!

GOOP and the Most Superb Love-Hate We've Ever Known
Welcome to the show notes for our very first mini episode. Every once and a while, when we just can't resist talking about something in the news or happening in the culture, we'll quickly hop on our mics for a quick chat. Mini episodes will be topical and a hot 30 minutes (or so). Just enough time to vent, process, and download with each other — and YOU. Because that's what Didn't I Just Feed You?! is all about: parents having conversation, healthy (respectful!) debate, and supporting each other. So, listen up and chime in (here, on Instagram , or on Facebook ). We KNOW you have something to say about this week's topic: Gwyneth Paltrow and her $250 million Goop empire.

Three Experts Walk into a Lunchroom... and we end up with one piece of advice.
In the last episode of this three part series on school lunches, Stacie and Meghan explore the lunch box from three wildly different lenses. We ask an elementary school teacher to dish on what really happens in the lunchroom. Laura Fuentes of MOMables talks us through the perspective shift you'll need when your kiddos is diagnosed with a food allergy — and has great advice for what other parents in the classroom can do to support those allergic kids. Finally we talk with chef and artist Jenny Dorsey about her "Privilege" project and what it is like to grow up eating authentic Chinese cuisine in a cafeteria full of corn dogs and frozen pizza.

School Lunch with Catherine McCord of Weelicious
It’s easy to think about packing school lunch as just another task to check off your list. You look for tips on how to do it more efficiently. You seek out ways to urge, or maybe even incentivize, your kids to get with the program (and eat their damn lunch). And do this on repeat 180 times during the school year. It’s not much fun, but as long as you get through, it’s good enough. This week, Stacie and Meghan speak to Catherine McCord of Weelicious who inspires them to think about school lunch as so much more. Not more work, but more freedom for parents and more opportunity for kids. Her tips are more than practical — they actually inspire you to shift your perspective.
