"I built Plate Buddies because dinner felt like a daily negotiation in our house."
The buddies turn the plate into a story, not a battlefield. My kids ask for "Sally Salad night" the way other kids ask for ice cream. If it works for us, I think it might work for you too.
— Michelle, mom of three · founder
