As a parent, I’ve always wanted dinner to feel like a moment of connection, not conflict. But like many families, we were stuck in the same routine: frustration, uneaten food, and endless bargaining. That’s why I created Happy Plate™ to make meals easier to serve, more fun to eat, and something kids genuinely look forward to.
I originally designed Happy Plate for my youngest child, hoping to solve our daily dinner battles. The real surprise? My older kids loved it even more. Even my 11-year-old, our former picky eater-in-chief, now shows up excited for whatever I cook.
I’m continuing to refine and expand Happy Plate, and I’d love your help. Your feedback will help shape a product that truly supports families like yours. Take our quick survey and be part of building something joyful, encouraging, and entirely kid-approved.
