Feed Your Family Well And Have Fun

When it comes to nutrition and kids, let’s walk the middle line. As a parent, most of us want to encourage our kids to eat more veggies and fruits? That feels like the biggest battle some days. Yet sometimes we also want to let go and have a little fun!

You’ll find that same idea echoed throughout  On My Kids Plate where many ideas do feature veggies and fruits, but we also show real family meals and treats too.

Stop Mealtime Battles

Are you having battles at the dinner table? I have, and I didn’t want to either! But together we can keep from getting frustrated and try some new ideas. Let’s get creative in the kitchen with ideas that are quick or fun, and sometimes even are both!

So take a look around and you’re sure to find ideas that inspire you to bring a little fun and tasty bites to your table!

About Kristy Richardson

Hi there, I’m Kristy. I am married to my wonderful hubby and have a daughter who has just turned ten.

We live currently in Prescott Valley, AZ but have moved around a bit. We’ve lived in Toledo, OH, in Montreal, Canada and Atlanta, Georgia as a family. If a family can survive moving from blistering heat to freezing cold, you know we are going to stick together.

I grew up in Ohio and will always be a Buckeye, but now I’m hanging in the mountains with cactuses.

I started On My Kid’s Plate on Instagram where I shared many of my daughter’s meals. She went through a huge picky eating phase and I was determined to make sure I was providing both balanced family meals and variety.

Now I provide delicious family dinner recipes, snack ideas, baking and dessert recipes along with ideas for  picky eating and parenting support.

Before On My Kid’s Plate, I worked with kids as an educator and director in both Science and Natural History museums, and as a family we love to mix learning and play.

I so look forward to sharing more with you and helping your family eat well and laugh often. You can follow me on social media on Instagram or Facebook for more great ideas!
