Feeding kids is a fundamental part of parenting, but the particulars of getting everyone fed are onerous for so many parents. Christine interviews Laura Fuentes about back-to-school food sanity. They cover both practical and emotional ground related to meal planning, picky eaters, and negativity around food. The goal: bringing sanity to breakfast, lunch, and dinner as we head back to school.
