Welcome to Little More Lovely, a warm and nourishing corner of the internet where food meets comfort, care, and a whole lot of heart.
Hi, I’m Katie Dawson, a paediatric speech-language pathologist by day and a passionate food storyteller by night. Based in Seattle but with a love for global flavours (and a soft spot for Indian chai), I created this blog to bridge the gap between therapeutic nutrition and the simple joy of eating.
Why This Blog Exists
In my work at the children’s hospital, I meet countless little ones—and their worried parents—struggling with feeding difficulties. Mealtimes can feel like battlegrounds, and stress only makes things harder. That’s where Little More Lovely comes in.
Here, you’ll find:
- Gentle, no-pressure recipes, from hidden-veggie sauces to creamy textures for sensitive palates and playful twists on familiar favourites.
- Stories that nourish, because food isn’t just about nutrients; it’s about memories, comfort, and tiny victories.
- Practical tips, whether you’re parenting a picky eater or just looking for meals that feel like a hug.
The Philosophy: Cooking as Comfort
I believe food should never feel like homework. Instead, it should be:
Kind – no guilt, no pressure, just love on a plate.
Adaptable – because every child (and adult!) has unique needs.
Joyful – because the best meals are the ones shared with smiles.
Join the Journey
Whether you’re here for sensory-friendly meals, heartwarming food stories, or a little culinary inspiration, I’m so glad you stopped by. Let’s make every bite a little more lovely.
With warmth,
Katie
