Hi, I’m Catherine McCord. As a chef, TV host, cookbook author, entrepreneur, and mom of three, my goal at Weelicious is to be a resource dedicated to providing simple, nutritious, and delicious recipes for the whole family.
How It All Started…
A childhood passion for cooking led me to attend and graduate from the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City, followed by working in several high-end restaurants. After having my first child, I found myself struggling with what to feed this new human. I searched exhaustively for a comprehensive guide that offered new parents simple, nutritious, and flavorful recipes along with guidance on feeding their new eaters, only to discover that it did not exist. That’s when I created Weelicious. What started as a resource for new parents feeding their newborns and toddlers has now grown (as my 3 kids have grown) to be an all encompassing, one-stop shop for easy, family-friendly, wholesome recipes that everyone can enjoy!
What You’ll Find on Weelicious
- A treasure trove of healthy, family-friendly recipes that everyone will love.
- Tips, tricks and resources to help make your kids great eaters from the start.
- Hundreds of school lunch ideas to excite kids to eat and bring home an empty lunch box.
- Delicious and nutritious smoothie recipes that are simple to make and so good for you.
- Weekly meal plans to help you conquer the task of making 21 meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) + snacks each week!
- An email newsletter where I send you recipes every week, as well as all the latest Weelicious updates!
My Cookbooks
Meal Prep Magic
This cookbook is filled with time saving tricks for stress-free cooking, tips to organize your kitchen, meal prep hacks and 100 recipes to help you save both time and money and turn your kitchen — the room we probably all spend the most time — into a space you love to be in.
Smoothie Project
This book emerged from my quest to heal my son’s chronic ailments through nutrition when no doctor could uncover why he felt unwell. As the ultimate smoothie bible, it features over 100 delicious recipes and guides on tailoring them to meet your specific health needs, helping you feel your best.
Weelicious Lunches: Think Outside the Lunchbox
This book was inspired by having heard one too many times from parents bemoaning the redundant nature of making school lunch everyday.
Weelicious: One Family. One Meal.
Meant to be an inspirational feeding guide, weaving together my personal experience feeding my own kids with fact-based evidence on children and eating, and features 140 original “fast, fresh and easy” recipes.
Press and Appearances
I have appeared multiple times on The Today Show, Good Morning America, ABC’s The Chew, The Doctors, Access Hollywood Live, KTLA, and Fox News, as well as The Kelly Clarkson Show. I hosted “On the Go with Catherine McCord,” a weekly segment on NBC’s Naturally with Danny Seo. I also appear regularly on the Food Network’s Guy’s Grocery Games and occasionally guest on Food Network’s Next Food Network Star, Big Bad Budget Battle with Ree Drummond, Duff Till Dawn, and Super Chef Grudge Match.
