My name is Cassy Joy Garcia. I am your host today, and always. {laughs} And I’m excited today because one of my online food blogging heroes is joining me. I’m just tickled to welcome Catherine McCord of Weelicious to the show today.<br> <br> If you're not familiar with her, she’s the cofounder of One Potato Box, and she’s also the brains behind Weelicious. Today, we’re going to be chatting about encouraging adventurous eating with the kiddos. Welcome to the show, Catherine! <br> <br> Catherine McCord: Thank you for having me on. I’m thrilled.<br> <br> Cassy Joy: Oh my goodness; I’m thrilled too! Thank you. Welcome to the show. I would love it if you would just kind of tell folks a little bit more about you. About your background. About your wonderful family. And what has really helped hone you into this passion project of encouraging adventurous eating. <br> <br> Catherine McCord: So I started Weelicious, which was my first company, 11 years ago. And it was really based on the fact that I’d gone to culinary school, I knew how to make a gourmet meal working in restaurants, and catering companies. Then I had my son, Kenya, and I was like; I can make a 3-star meal, and I have no idea how to feed a baby or a kid. How to make them a great eater, and get them excited about food.<br> <br> It really became just a blog of my journey, talking to other moms. Trying to understand some of their same struggles. And then as the audience grew, and I had another child, I moved into toddler food and family food. And this idea of one family, one meal. Because that really, to me, is the biggest struggle. As a parent; how do you get your kids to be excited about food? But also make it really easy for you.<br> <br> Cassy Joy: Mm-hmm. That makes a lot of sense. We just welcomed our first little one into the world. Graysen Joy was born in January this past year. And she’s just started eating. And oh, she’s so; it’s so darn sweet. But she’s just started dabbling in some foods. And I can kind of get a glimpse into that future of; because Austin and I.
