Calling all Moms of PICKY EATERS. TODAY 1pm ET

picky-eater-girl

It seems there is a Picky Eater in every family.  I had one, an award winning one.  I know the challenges of hearing kids say, “I don’t like it; I don’t want it; I won’t try it, NO.” Their lips tighten shut. They also  gag and make “yucky, no way Hosea” faces.  It may be because it is green, has a “funny” texture, the food is mixed (casserole), it’s not sweet – their reasons of refusal are endless and often creative.

Is this phrase, “Thumbs Up, No Yucks” music to your ears?  If so, then this is the show for you.  Stacey Antine, RD, founder of HealthBarn USA, wrote the Guide to Getting Your Kid to be a Great Eater.  Her book is called Appetite for Life. Her goal is to have your kids eating fresh healthy foods while giving you a thumbs up with a smile.  She is our Co-Host this week.

Our guests will be you, moms and dads of picky eaters!  We are inviting you to call in with your questions and concerns.  With Stacey’s exceptional success in turning Picky Eaters into willing ones, and mine with the Kid Kritics blind taste tests and moms who use our Kid Kritics Approved products and recipes, we have are steeped in resources to help you.

And, you can expect to hear some great recipe ideas your family will love including easy ones you can fix in a jiff, plus ones you can eat on the run!

Come into our Family Food Experts Kitchen on Thursday, May 2nd , 1pm ET, www.W4CY.com. Listen in while you are busy preparing or already enjoying your dinner. See you then!

Going Nuts Over Nuts! TODAY. 6pm ET. See you there.

AA026294
I go nuts every time I hear, “No Nuts!”  No nuts because they are fattening.  No nuts because of peanut allergies.  These are just a couple of misnomers about this rich source of protein, good fats and fiber. It’s time to clear up the confusion about nuts. There are nut allergies that are real and need to be respected.  However, not all nuts are the same.  Thus, an allergy to one may not exclude one from eating others. Two of the best people to help you sort out the facts are joining us in our Family Food Experts Kitchen.  One is our guest, Amie Valpone, Culinary Nutritionist, Personal Chef, Media Personality, Editor-in-Chief for TheHealthyApple.com, and spokesperson for the California Almond Board.  She knows whole lot about nuts.  This week’s Family Food Experts co-host, Dr. Heather Manley, Naturopathic Physician and author of the Human Body Detectives educational books for children, knows the nutritional benefits of nuts, and how to pay attention to nut allergies.  Together, they will clear the air on this subject.

And, you can expect to hear some great recipe ideas your family will love including easy ones you can fix in a jiff, plus ones you can eat on the run!

Come into our Family Food Experts Kitchen on Wed. April 24th, 6pm ET, www.W4WN.com. Listen in while you are busy preparing or already enjoying your dinner. See you then!
