It Started With a Simple Question
"Why does dinner have to be a battle?"
Meet Alyssa
Alyssa is a registered dietitian, a work-from-home mom, and someone who gets it. She knows what it's like to hide in the bathroom for 10 minutes of peace. She understands the exhaustion of sitting in the car after grocery shopping, stealing just three more minutes before heading inside.
But more than that, she knows the frustration of watching your child push away another meal. The guilt of making multiple dinners. The worry that they're not eating enough vegetables.
The Breaking Point
As a dietitian, Alyssa had all the knowledge. She knew what kids should eat, how to balance nutrition, the science behind picky eating. But as a mom? She was living the reality that knowledge alone doesn't make dinner easier.
She watched other moms struggle with the same battles. Spending hours searching for recipes their kids might actually eat. Making separate meals. Feeling defeated when another dinner ended in tears. And she thought: "There has to be a better way."
A Mission Born from Experience
Picky Plates wasn't created in a corporate boardroom. It was born in Alyssa's kitchen, during those precious moments between naps and work calls, fueled by a deep passion to help families break free from diet culture's grip.
She believes every child is born knowing how to eat. They trust their bodies. They eat when hungry, stop when full. But somewhere along the way, we teach them not to trust themselves. Picky Plates is about getting back to that natural relationship with food.
