About the episode
What we feed our kids matters. But what are some simple ways to get deep nourishment into them when we’re tired, busy, and frustrated with their picky behavior? Jess invited James Barry, dad and professional chef, to talk about some simple ways to pack in the nourishment. They also talked about the tremendous nutritional value of organ meats like liver, kidney, heart, and tongue, and how to get past the yuck factor so you can add them to your cooking repertoire in delicious and simple ways.
