What I Feed My Kids (Meal Ideas & Favorites)

Hey guys!! Ok, let me be honest.. I've been a bit hesitant to share this video. It's always a little nerve wracking to share these types of videos on the internet. I'm not a doctor, and this channel is purely a sharing blog/vlog channel where I share what I'm up to, and what I'm doing in my home.. It's not meant to be telling anyone how they should do it.. I try to feed my kids what I feel is healthy and balanced, but honestly, a chill home is the most important thing for me, and I want my kids to make healthy choices, but also enjoy their life and eat smart. I'm down for some fast food on occasion, some junk food here and there, but I'm just doing my best like any other mama to provide them with lots of options for balanced nutrition.. I do give my children a multi vitamin daily as well. Here are just a few ides that we like around here.. Hope you enjoy!

I’ve quit watching makeup videos tbh . It saved me money too , I stopped wanting to buy those makeup palettes (that I bought because I thought it would look good on me). I’m into holistic/gardening stuff now . 😭

[@mariamy9102]

No kids here but I can see myself eating these! More food ideas and meal prep please. I love them!

[@angelche1992]

I feel like this is one of the most positive channels I watch. Your content is great, the subscribers are very positive and good to each other. This is how it's suppose to be!

[@racheltalbott]

I'm soooo thankful for my subscribers.. I don't have as many as others, and my videos don't get as many views, but I'm beyond thankful for the wonderful group of people who watch my channel and leave feedback. 99% of everyone who comments is so considerate and kind, and I'm so thankful for that!!

[@angelche1992]

@@racheltalbott the quality of your content is beyond perfect and we appreciate what you're doing to deliver it. Thank you for everything!

Oliver's reaction to the ravioli 😂 thanks for sharing this video Rachel!!

[@NAOMBAful]

Hi Rachel! I don’t have kids and I don’t take care of any but found these meals would be good for me HAHA! Awesome vid :-)

Everytime you upload a video I just get really excited. Absolutely love your content. Could you upload a video on your like general full day routine( like healthy routine ideas). Among all your videos my favourite kind are the diy spa and pamper videos. Would love for you to make more of them. You’re amazing just keep glowing girll. Love ya😘

[@moomaryful]

I would really love to see some healthy lunch tips for adults too! Thanks for always posting such great content ❤️

[@andreab6012]

You’re my favourite you tuber! Your editing and video skills are just the best. It’s so much nicer to watch a video with someone showing what they’re talking about, instead of someone just talking into the camera!!!!

I don't even have kids but never fail to watch your videos lol xx Congrats on hitting 1M!!! You deserve more and more

[@madelinerios3002]

Me too

[@grace_beauty]

Love this! I have 5 younger siblings who I take care of a lot of the time, so I’m left with making them their meals and all that. This all is literally what I’ve fed them for forever! Unlike my older sister and mom who prefer to do quicker meals, less work, easy throw in the oven stuff, I love love love making “platters”! I'm a huge health nerd, so I don't ever feel okay with feeding them something that I myself will not eat. Unless it's cheese, because they love cheese :) But I love these meal planning videos! I'm so so inspired!

[@arnica7184]

i love how you care about the things that you feed your kids your so inspiring

[@bf3164]

It is very nice to see a KZbinr actually feeding their kids healthy food.. I am actually shocked sometimes by what I watch. Good job Rachel.

[@ErinNDo]

Thank you for posting this! We have a very similar meal plan, and we shop at Trader Joes. I try my best to feed our children a healthy balanced diet and like you also drive thru fast food occasionally and allow treats. These are great ideas that don't involve intricate meals, and cooking a ton. Simple is easiest for me and I find our kids enjoy simple too. Thanks for the ideas! I buy very similar things as well but now I've got a few new ideas on combinations.

[@TheDevilDarling]

Even as an adult one of my favourite dinners is just a platter of fruits and vegetables sometimes with meat, crackers and dip, pickled vegetables, etc. I love raw veggies!

[@coffeechatgirl]

Hey Rachel, What a great video!!! For us adult kids too. My daughter has recently gone vegetarian and these options for lunch are perfect. Thanks for all that you do. Have a great day!! Robyn

[@FY-mc5fl]

Thank you for your sharing. .. Yes i am mouslim, and you inspired me so well to be better in beauty,house-cleaning, and now a kid meals... Your channel such like a good place to me learn new things everytime i need... Love from Malaysia! 😍

[@ehunter9635]

Love this! My little guy is now eating small soft pieces of food, and I felt like I was running out of ideas. This was super helpful!

[@superchix06]

Love love love that kind of video! Its giving me good ideas for my kids too :) thank you Rachel

[@jackiesento5057]

These are awesome healthy meal ideas for kids lunches...your an awesome mom...loved the peanut butter and jelly roll ups idea as well!!

[@sandurzful]

I absolutely love your videos Rachel, regardless of what they are because they are real and honest!

[@poppy8323]

cooking zucchini and putting spaghetti sauce on it is a good alternative to regular spaghetti with noodles, I sometimes make that for lunch, you can add meat to it or carrots and other vegetables and it's really, really good.

[@andreeavuza7676]

You upload more often ......good job!.....by the way you re content is great...i just waned to tell you that i appreciate the fact that you post more often....keep up the good work!

Hi Rachel compliments! Great vegetarian dishes. I’m not vegetarian but I love ❤️ your recipes I’m a vegetable 🌽 lover

[@rosalindaortiz8035]

I loved all the meals. Please keep the videos coming I’d love to see more kid related. I often struggle with what I should feed them so this gives me great ideas.

[@a8888121]

Thank you for such an informative and inspiring video. Pls make another video with more ideas of meals for kids. You are awesome!

[@perspectiveportions]

Love that throw & go platter idea. Great way to add in a variety of foods.

[@aelizabeth1208]

Love this!!! Planning on having kids and definitely need some snacking/meal ideas. Thank you for sharing 💗

[@shahadald3291]

LOVED this video !! As simple as it is it’s still so inspiring . God bless your family ..

[@clair3kee432]

Wow your a good mom. You put so much thought in your children’s food. 👌🏻

[@nadiap03]

Love the ideas! Would you do an updated favorites for Toddlers/grade school kids?

[@bluefeatherco]

Great ideas! 💗👌🏻Thank you for sharing! More healthy meal options please, always looking for inspiration.

[@carmenshirk366]

Awesome video per usual! Well timed with back to school. Looking forward to more fall videos and more fashion videos!

[@fatmajoy87]

Hi Rachel thanks for the lovely video! :) you mentioned your son playing outside most of the day, can you make a video on what kids can do in the garden that's not fully hands on for the parent? Sometimes it can be. But more practical play outside is essential also :) thank youu x

[@emmamay4990]

It’s amazing your boys eat so healthy, all I ever hear is kids rejecting anything that doesn’t come from a box or has cheese melted all over it. Very nice to see this and fun little meal ideas!

[@mixedchick105]

I shopped at Trader Joe's for the 1st time this past weekend &I'm in love with that store! I def thought they were bougie but prices are decent

[@mayapickering4590]

I don’t even have kids.. or a husband.. or steady relationship. I just love your videos like these!

[@nainasingh7139]

What is your daily routine? I mean when do you wake up and at time you have dinner and when do you sleep?

[@TheSparklingGypsy]

Love watching your videos ! love the kids platters, will definitely try it on my boy :)

[@E.I.C.C_Onwer]

I found this really helpful! It can be hard to switch it up and keep it healthy at the same time. I know my kids get bored with their meals and this gave me some new ideas 😊

[@mommyeva2]

Thank you for sharing this video, it’s so helpful 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼can’t wait for you to make more videos like these ❤️❤️❤️

[@blue4u2054]

I don't have kids yet but I still love watching these videos! Those are actually meals I'd myself like to eat(with adjusted proportions lol)!

[@jasminesjourney9318]

i love the food that you feed your kids! i wish i did this for my baby sister. it's so hard to feed her healthy things now

[@jelenarovcanin3134]

Love these videos! I actually watched it with my son! He loved it and asked me to make some of the meals that you made for your boys!

[@KristenNicole]

Your boys are so cute! I love Isaiah’s little baby hands!

[@yanetssy1]

Love your channel another awesome video. Thank you I look forward to your videos.

[@juliamendoza6591]

More of these videos please 👍🏻

[@tracyfluri543]

Loved this, thanks!

[@efont21]

Yes! Loved this.

[@shuaaajmal7792]

I’m not married but i do take care of my nieces and nephews. They stay with me most of the time , so these ideas are good . But do tell me how did you manage to make them eat veggies and fruit in a single place . Kids here are always trying to skip meals as much as they . I had to feed them by my hand. Do make a video on it . Much love from Pakistan.

[@VoiceTalk52]

For The very young ones a high chair or booster chair works, anything with straps. Try to create a quiet and conducive environment for eating. I have to young boys and I too sit to feed them for every meal. But I’m slowly trying to get them to eat by themselves. Also, our food (I’m Indian) tends to be messy for toddlers to eat, with curry and rice etc. so naturally I opted to feed them by hand. Now I’m trying to make food they can pick up and eat on their own. Hope I make sense

[@zoephillips3147]

So sweet that at breakfast your toddler went straight for his fruit lol my 5 year old does the exact same thing.

[@nenall19]

Everything looks delicious thank you so much. How do I get my kids to like veggies? They hate them 😢

[@teresaratliff4651]

Love this video great ideas for adults also. Please make more like this. Thank you

[@slyhead66]

I'm studying nutrition and this is super healthy! Great choices :)

[@mesiroy1234]

She really care for her children. but this is the opposite of balanced diet Very low fat can will lower growth hormone like testosterone. She literally have close to zero protein

[@sblood311]

This kinda makes me laugh because my daughter has Cystic Fibrosis and needs a high fat, high salt diet... like ridiculously high. So for me, I spend an hour in the grocery store asking "Is this high enough in fat? What can I add to make this more fatty? Can I add salt?" While most parents are worried about sodium levels and wether something is healthy for lunch, I'm like "Okay two pieces of high fibre white bread slathered with salted butter and then peanut butter that I've mixed a bit of salt into, whole milk with a little cream mixed in, packaged lunch meat and two cheese slices, yogurt with salt in it and maybe a couple strawberries... you know... cause healthy."

[@Alex-sv7vt]

Damn. A bit late to comment, but that sounds like it would be hard to manage all the time while also getting your daughter the nutrients she still needs to go plus all the fat/salt. Hope you're both doing well and she's as happy and healthy as she can be!

[@mesiroy1234]

It's very to find high calorie food that's healthy *But* thre is nothing wrong with lays or cream

[@cccmv8059]

Her voice and content is so soothing! Long time subscriber and is still one of my favorite youtubers! ☺️

[@annaburke8537]

I liked the style of this video, and Oliver's reaction to the ravioli cracked me up. So cute!

[@latonyablackgilliard]

Just a tip from your friendly HealthWealth Nutritionist here! I notice some of these packaged foods have calcium carbonate. This is mined and quarried from chalk or marble and other and basically cannot be absorbed. It settles in your bones causing arthritis pain and other joint issues, so read ingredients and try to avoid this! Happy snacking!

[@sandymargolius9082]

Love Love Love your ideas --- more please... especially for lunch & dinner. My boys are VERY picky - one will not eat a veggie! I try to hid them in 'something' but he tends to not like it. It's so stressful ... lol

[@nanlauber398]

Great vid Rachel! ☺ I love the way you peel your avacados! ❤

[@heyitslo]

THANK YOU for not feeding your kids loads of meat and dairy! It’s high time people realized that all that stuff isn’t good for us or our kids for healthy growth 👍🏼

[@mesiroy1234]

So you want a bone and skin child?

[@MzFrostBoss]

We love the cheese and spinach raviolis or tortellini. We'll brown ground turkey with the sauce for added protein! My 16month old loves it

[@mjadventures9148]

Great video I have 4 kids and it’s hard trying to find different foods for them to eat I also have a son named Isaiah he’s 1 and he will also eat anything we give him😆

[@dmppt3108]

Very nice video as always..Inspiring as always..where did you get the lunch container with compartments?

[@marigalvan09]

Love this!! Thank you!!! This'll definitely help me with ideas to feed my boys (I have 2, 4 year old and 21 month old).

[@pilialohavrba6943]

Thank you for this from one mom to another! Hugs. Love the ideas.

[@maribelsanchez4165]

Omg i really needed this! Thanks will be trying all of it after i go grocery shopping. 🤗

[@sabrina.vanessa.a]

Great video as always :) my little one is only 2 month now but I think this divided “plate“ would be great when he starts eating. Would you tell me where this is from?

[@andiemehaffie927]

Great tips! I love the platter idea! I LOVE your food videos! More please!!

[@mahealanilyons1489]

OMG these ideas r just great in general...I’m always trying to think what I can make easy and fast for myself...love the platter idea! Now I have some new ideas...thx😋

[@extrabutterpopcornwithsalt5667]

This video got me feeling so relaxed...and hungry

[@AnaLovesMakeup]

Where is that red plate from? My son could use one. I thought it was perfect! Never seen those around

[@denisec7159]

How cute!! You gave me so many ideas!! Especially with the nuggets, ravioli & pancakes!! 👌

[@decorhomelifestyle]

Hi Rachel my friend! I love your ideas! Hey my kids name is Isaiah too! lol. Love the pasta ! TFS! Many Blessings and happy Days!💕💕💕

[@Alexandra-pi7qh]

You're so awesome and seem like such a great mom! Everything looks so good! I make those "platters" too for my kids often haha its the best and always a winner! Thanks for some inspo! xo

[@spacecase]

Love the throw and go platter idea!

[@lulwabinhimd8006]

And I love it when you do meals for kids

[@areanasanchez9507]

That’s cute making platters for kids. I do the same but my son calls them free samples lol cause I cut the food small and it reminds him of free samples at Costco or Walmart 😊

[@emilythys2599]

love this!! thank you because i needed this since my son started school, we eat the same exact way so this makes it so easy for me with these quick ideas :) P.S my son literally watches every video of yours with me, i believe it may be your voice and loves you food videos. His name is Isaiah & hes 5.

[@penpen002]

These are wonderful! This is helpful as a new mom.

[@TheLass29]

More meal planning vidoes please. Thanks for this one Rachel :)

[@annnguyenvu]

My kids are the same with meat. They hate it, but im lucky they love fruit and vegetables. Im gonna try some of your ideas. Thanks again

[@dr.pkw7755]

Hello Rachel, your videos are just like you, extremely inspiring and beautiful. keep it up. love all of your videos.

[@lizzyavila5895]

Hey where did you buy that container where you stored the pb and j rolls ? It’s pretty awesome :)

[@hannahlew11]

I can't believe your son is already in school! I have been watching your videos since before he was even born! lol!

[@FWooten]

I enjoyed this video and it's great your kids eat alot of fruits and veggies. I struggle with lunch ideas because my son's school is nut-free. He loves peanut sandwiches but I can't pack it. He hates deli meat so you can imagine my struggle . . .

[@yasminverhagen5658]

Thank you so much, my kids don't like meat as well. What hot meal to you give to your son for school?

[@deannlovesalot6083]

Great video!! I needed some ideas for my kids. I love Trader Joe’s also. I feel so lucky to have one close to us. 💗

[@loverissa6043]

Yes. More of these videos please. Your kids are so cute!

[@lindseyking2135]

Love this video! Will you do a grocery store haul and garden haul?

[@neharoxx1]

How to make sure chopped up veggies n fruits don't go bad in the lunch box by the time school has lunch break?

[@SilvieSmiles]

Love these kid related videos. Great ideas. Thanks.

[@pr4yf0rmercy]

I’m so glad in sweden all kids get lunch at school for free, well it’s paid with our taxes wich is amazing and we dont have to spend time making lunchbags!

[@BichonHavanais1]

Same in Finland ✌ so much easier and it's healthy normal warm food

[@genesisa.c.6249]

Do you compost? If so Can you show a quick reference? I want to but can't find a place to give it to. I don't do it myself since I dont have the space... Thank you and thanks for the tips

[@mariavelazquez7532]

Thank you!!! First time mommy and I need ideas like these 😍

[@andreatate6702]

Great video! I needed these ideas because 1 have a 1 year old that I'm trying to teach good eating habits and a 9 year old who is super picky but loves fruit and pb&j.😍

[@emmacane3076]

Totally am requesting the kid meal ideas. I personally always thought trader Joe's was a bit uppity and pricy but have started shopping there because it isn't any of those things. Shopping at Costco actually caused me to throw out a lot of food too. There are only three of us lol. My daughter as a baby ate everything. Now at an old 4yr old hates almost anything that is green. We do well with carrots and cauliflower, but anything green is tough.

[@BeachyKeen99]

oliver was just so excited every time you put a plate in front of him!

[@Insanity_awaits]

Your youngest does so good with eating solids. How old was he when you first introduced him to solids? Did you start with the baby food jars or smaller bits of food adults eat? I enjoy all your videos, especially the ones involving your kiddos! My son is 2.5 and is the pickest little person I've ever met. How did you get your oldest to keep eating his fruits and veggies? Please help I have the biggest struggle with my toddler on this.

[@annah2050]

Great video. What did you cook the broccoli cheese bites on? Is it silver or metal?
