Moms Supporting Moms: Chefs You Can Follow That Are Making Eating An Easy Peasy Journey For Kids

Aug 14, 2021 | Food & Drinks | 1 Comments | 222

Feeding kids can get tiresome. Trying to figure out new and creative ways to cook often send moms into a spiral – of guilt and frustration and a general lack of inspiration. Juggling tasty food with healthy food with nutrition to make something that kids will eat without a fuss can be exhausting. Motherhood isn’t all sunshine and butterflies – it can get tough, and the only ones who know that are other moms.

Thankfully, there is light at the end of the tunnel! We make a list of awesome moms who share their cooking journey. Check out these communities of moms for food inspiration and to feel like you’re not alone:

 

Easy Mommy Life

Ophira runs Easy Mommy Life, which is a superb place to learn about Gentle Parenting tips and methods to deal with picky eaters, apart from offering some super helpful recipe ideas! 

Using healthy and wholesome local ingredients like millets and ragi, Ophira shares breakfast, lunchbox and snack ideas for moms who are concerned about providing their child with sufficient nutrition. We love that this blog also talks about being mindful about quantities so as to avoid waste. 

 

Bong Mom Cookbook

An attempt to pass on her Bengali culture and culinary skills to her daughters grew into a cookbook, and then a food blog. And so we have the pleasure of accessing Sandeep’s Datta Mukherjee’s treasure trove of traditional recipes, which she presents with a twist. Find your next meal idea here – whether it’s dessert or something to pack to eat on-the- go. The beauty of Bengali food is that it incorporates the various food groups so you are giving your kid wholesome and healthy and amazingly tasty food!

 

Weelicious 

Started by Catherine, a mom of three, Weelicious began as a resource for parents to introduce their kids to wholesome food. Catherine writes about her new mom dilemma:

“simple, nutritious, flavorful recipes for parents to make for their young eaters. Since that resource didn’t exist, I put my culinary school degree and life experience as a cook to work and created Weelicious”. As her readership grew, so did her recipe database, and so she brings to moms everywhere, recipes that are fast, fresh, and easy. 

 

Veggies And Virtue

Ashley from Veggies and Virtues is a registered dietician, as well as a mom of three. She gets real about the challenges of feeding kids, and also provides scientific insight into her meal ideas. We love the helpful infographics on her Instagram page. She encourages other moms by sharing her journey, and supports them through the mealtimes and messes. 

 

Masterchef Mom

It’s no surprise that Uma Raghuraman’s Instagram account has close to 100k followers. With non-pretentious, healthy food ideas, she’s given moms around the country a reason to celebrate! Say goodbye to meal-planning woes because you are going to find limitless inspiration. We love her beautifully plated photographs (with food often presented on the traditional banana leaf) and her accessible, pan-Indian recipes like protein dosa and detox rasam!

 

Naturally Nourished Kid

These super cute bento-boxed meals have our whole heart… and gratitude! With nutritional information of ingredients, and fun ideas for family-friendly meals, Naturally Nourished Kid will give you food ideas that your kids are going to love. Especially if they are presented as aesthetically as they are on
