Welcome to From Work to Table đź‘‹

Hi, I’m Katie — full-time working mom, part-time chaos wrangler, and the creator of From Work to Table.

I wanted to share a little bit about why I started this blog because it comes straight from my heart. My 5 year old daughter has struggled with extreme picky eating essentially her whole life. At one point, she was down to just one safe food (milk) — and that was honestly terrifying and such a low point for me and my husband. I felt like I was failing her, worried she wouldn’t get the nutrition she needed. From breastfeeding to bottles to the dinner table, feeding her has always been a challenge.

It’s taken me a lot of time and courage to open up about our journey. There’s been judgment, frustration, and a lot of emotions along the way. But there’s also been growth, hope, and success — and that’s what I want to share with you.

This blog is here to be a place for anyone who’s dealing with picky eating to feel understood, find support, ask questions, and get ideas that have actually worked for my family.

Like so many of you, I’m also balancing a busy work schedule, a bustling home life, and two kids. Mealtime can feel like a chore, but I believe it can also be one of those little wins that make the day feel a bit more manageable.

From Work to Table is all about:

  • Fast, family-friendly recipes (yes, even ones picky eaters might actually eat)
  • Simple kitchen tips and time-savers
  • Realistic meal ideas that don’t require hours or 27 ingredients
  • Support and solidarity for working parents just trying to get dinner on the table
  • Home-cooked healthier variations of processed foods your kids love

This space isn’t about perfection. It’s about real food for real life. Whether you’re here for recipe inspiration, a sense of community, or just a place to say “OMG SAME” — welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
