Summary

It’s easy to think about packing school lunch as just another task to check off your list. You look for tips on how to do it more efficiently. You seek out ways to urge, or maybe even incentivize, your kids to get with the program (and eat their damn lunch). And do this on repeat 180 times during the school year. It’s not much fun, but as long as you get through, it’s good enough.

This week, Stacie and Meghan speak to Catherine McCord of Weelicious who inspires them to think about school lunch as so much more. Not more work, but more freedom for parents and more opportunity for kids. Her tips are more than practical — they actually inspire you to shift your perspective.

0:24.9	As adults, we very much eat with our eyes where kids have more of a regulatory system in their
0:32.4	bodies. They know a little bit better what their body really needs. So at least when you see all of your choices,
0:39.8	you're like, oh, I'll have some cucumber, I'll have some sandwich. I'll have whatever is in there.
0:44.0	Hey, I'm Stacey. And I'm Megan, and this is Didn't I Just Feed You, a podcast about feeding families
0:49.4	because, man, kids need to eat a lot. And frequently too. Today we're talking about school lunches. My kiddos are about two weeks out from starting school. How about yours, Stacey? Oh, my gosh, two weeks. It's so close. I know. We're actually still a month out. Good for you. So you have plenty of time to play in. We do. We have plenty of time. But I feel like the whole country is
1:12.4	slowly moving towards August start date for school. I kind of resent a little bit.
1:18.5	The early start days. Being in this industry and having to think about school so early, I'm just
1:23.5	going to be honest. Because my kids are just coming home from sleepaway camp tomorrow.
1:29.7	Oh my goodness.
1:30.2	Have you enjoyed your time alone and with your husband alone?
1:35.3	I have, I have to say it's a very, like, it's a time of mixed emotions.
1:41.8	It's one of those moments where I think, you know, you talk to kids about
1:46.9	how you can have conflicting emotions at once. This is one of these things about being a complicated
1:53.7	human. These things can happen. You can be sad and happy at once. And it's very acute when your kids are at sleepaway camp, at least for me
2:03.2	and Mike. So, I mean, we miss them desperately. But it is such an amazing time for us as a couple.

2:20.9	I'm going to dive right in.
2:22.0	Yes, I was going to say, let's roll right into We're Digging, which is our weekly segment where we share one new food thing or kitchen item or hack that we are loving.
