We?ve been doing some reflecting on the way that we qualify food. Does feeding your family ?good? and ?clean? foods make you a better parent? A better steward of the environment? An overall better person? And if not, what?s the point of labeling food good or bad, clean or dirty? We dig into some of these questions and explore why doing so as the family cook might be important to the people we feed. 

In the second installment of our new series, How We Feed, we?re chatting with Kristen Chase of Cool Mom Picks about feeding a family as a single parent. As it turns out, a lot of what Kristen has learned about being the only grownup in a house full of kids who need to be fed is instructive for all family cooks.

Who else is in another season of cooking burnout? If you?re anything like us, you?d rather be out in spring weather, schlepping between practices, or even clipping toenails than planning and cooking yet another dinner. We?re here to say that it?s okay and there are ways to honor where you are and still get your family fed. We promise.

Feeding a child starts the minute they are born, yet very little feeding education is made available to parents during pregnancy. What many of us expect to be a natural act can actually turn out to be complicated and confusing. Erica Campbell of The Milk Manual talks to us about early feeding and gives breastfeeding tips to make those first few months of feeding more joyful, no matter what baby ends up eating, breastmilk, formula, or a combination of the two.

Cooking and cleaning, they go together like a horse and carriage (or, ahem, love and marriage). Whatever the saying, the point is that if you cook, you inevitably have to clean, so we?re sharing our favorite cleaning products for the kitchen and ? because we can?t help ourselves ? the rest of the house too. 

We're now sharing what we're cooking and eating now every other week, not just once a quarter!

If you?re an omnivore who has ever sought cooking advice, chances are you?ve been told to consider buying ?quality? meat from your local butcher. Ahem: perhaps even by us. In this episode, we chat with 4th generation butcher and founder of Seemore Sausage, Cara Nicoletti, about why this advice matters and how to take it without breaking the bank. (Or dying of intimidation.)  

In our new ongoing series, How We Feed, we speak with family cooks to whom mainstream food media doesn?t normally speak. We?re kicking things off with food writer Kim Foster who talks to us about how she thinks about feeding her foster family.
