One Potato is all about Family Meals Made Easy.
An easy way to feed your family, an easy way to meal plan. We do this by sharing resources from friends of One Potato - such as Ann Kent’s Peas & Hoppiness Meal Planning App (which we LOVE). We chat with her here.
An easy way to expose your kids to new foods, flavors, and cultures. We do this through our interviews with chefs, food writers, and home cooks who are parents. Check out our Order Up! Interviews.
An easy way to get your kids interested in helping out in the kitchen. We do this by sharing resources, stories, and tips about giving your kids the kitchen and life skills to learn how to cook. We are huge fans of our friend Katie Kimball’s Kids Cook Real Food - read her interview here.
One Potato is a community and newsletter written by real people who are parents, having real conversations about our families, cooking traditions, and cultures. We are passionate about raising healthy and happy kids while navigating the challenges of picky eaters, dietary restrictions, busy schedules, and daily life. Our community is incredibly diverse, and our rich stories, educational posts, and recipes reflect that. We are motivated to help our community build a family culture around healthy eating & encouraging kids to explore new foods & flavors.
What We Publish
Chef, Founder, and Home Cook Interviews (3-4x / month), sharing their cooking journey, how to cook and nourish our families, how we can introduce new flavors to our families and get kids excited about cooking and eating healthy
Food People, Parent Picks (3-4x / month), sharing favorite things from the chefs, food writers, and industry insiders who we interview in our Order Up! Series to share the products, books, and bites they can’t live without.
Personal Essays (1-2x / month) from One Potato community members (about family cooking traditions, sharing their own recipes, about holidays and food, or their personal experiences feeding picky eaters - just a few examples)
BONUS Meal and Ingredients Bundles/Recipes - for PAID Subscribers (1-2x / month), for special holidays and activities to do in the kitchen with your kids! Think about fun cooking activities for National Spaghetti Day or Pi Day. EVERY recipe includes an Instacart grocery shopping link, with a pre-filled cart to save you time when ordering ingredients for that recipe. (We know how time consuming grocery shopping can be, even online!)
Educational Articles and Segments (BONUS), such as Get Growing with Chef Lola about growing your own indoor garden or herbs with which to cook, or articles and activities about the "Clean 15" and "Dirty Dozen" fruits and vegetables.

As We Grow - Write for Us
We also know that parents are more than the adult who puts food on the table – we always welcome submissions of writing from our community sharing thoughts about important topics going on in family life. We know that meal time can be an outlet for deeper conversations, and how changes in eating patterns or behaviors can be a sign of something deeper going on in a child’s life. Meal time can be a safe environment to talk about hard topics or fun and goofy topics, it can be a nurturing environment and a safe space.
We feature guest posts from parents who are home cooks, parents who don’t like to cook, and parents who are social media savvy influencers. Our goal with One Potato is NOT to be a one-person personality platform, but a community and resource of many real voices and stories.
We share authentic stories relating to families and food that are important to our audience. So we’re searching for parents to share their experiences, stories, and recipes, through our guest posting program.
You can also follow us on Instagram @onepotatobox and tell your friends about our community through our referral program.
