Meals with little ones can be an exercise in patience. Spilled drinks, dropped food, picky eaters: you know the drill.
My son had a big appetite for such a little guy and tends to eat all the food I have cut up for him before I even get a bite of my own food, so I end up cutting more and more of his food and mine gets cold.
Doesn’t it seem like mom always get to eat last?
I found a super simple shortcut using a kitchen tool I already had, which is perfect for quickly cutting many of the foods we eat into bite-sized pieces. Chances are you already have one as well!
Move over from and knife- it’s the pizza cutter.

Do you have any hacks to make meals easier?
My sister uses kitchen shears to cut all her son’s food into bite sized pieces.
I’ve used those for green onions and herbs, but I’ve never tried it for other foods. That’s a good idea. I need to get another pair because mine went through the dishwasher and got rusty.
When I saw her do it, with a piece of pizza, it just blew my mind at how well it worked and that I hadn’t ever thought of using them that way. My kids are old enough now to cut their own food, so I don’t have to do it.
