we're allowed to have fun and find joy in feeding our families ourselves too so like what is

fun for us to cook as much as it is fun for the kids to eat it's kind of like counter programming

we've done before we're like like in January when everyone's like,

healthy new year. We're like, let's deep fry some shit. Yes. Yes, totally. Like, yes, back to school

is stressful, but like, we can have fun at the dinner table. Welcome to didn't I just feed you.

A podcast about feeding kids.

Hey, I'm Stacey.

And I'm Megan.

Today we're going to have some fun and find some food joy.

Back to school can be such a slog.

And there are lots of things like getting breakfast done quickly and packing lunches that can be made easier by strategy. But what about injecting

some playfulness and fun into other parts of busy home life like weeknight dinners?

I love this idea so much. You guys, if you're a long-time listener, you know that we love

bringing joy to the family table. So today's episode is all about bringing fun back to school dinners.

I just feel so much like, as much as we as parents often lament summer being over, the truth is,

if we're being honest, there's a relief in it too. Like there's a relief in getting back to the

routine. There's a relief

and the kids not being around quite as much so that we can get the other things done on a

timeline that works a little bit more effectively, efficiently for us. You know, there's a

sadness to it also. But for us, there is both sides of the coin. For our kids, there is not.

If you remember being a kid, going back to school just sucks. Like, it just feels like a bummer in

the beginning. Yes, they get to see their friends. Yes, they get back into a routine too.
