Here's how to take back control of your family dinnertime

Scared Confident

5 o’clock is creeping closer…and it dawns on you: I have no idea what’s for dinner tonight.

We’ve all been here before. In another Solve Session, Tiffany sits down with Taylor–mom of 2 kids under 4–to help her solve her biggest issue: family dinner.

With picky eaters (including her husband) in the mix and 2 careers keeping she and her husband on a tight schedule, she feels like she’s always behind the 8-ball when it comes to what’s for dinner each night. Tiffany shares her tips on creating a family-friendly kitchen environment, establishing reliable backup care for your children, and setting up systems for efficient and varied meal options.
