Catherine McCord Makes the Kitchen a Family Destination

Weelicious is Kid-Friendly, Parent-Approved

Launched in 2007, Catherine, mom to Kenya (12), Chloe (9) and Gemma (3), created Weelicious.com as a platform to show parents around the world how easy and beneficial it is to expose children to wholesome, delicious homemade food. After personally struggling with how to feed Kenya as a baby, Catherine recognized a need to be filled: simple, nutritious recipes for parents using minimal ingredients that are fully loaded with flavor. Weelicious is currently home to over 1,300+ original family friendly recipes and more than 300 videos. Catherine inspires the Weelicious community with readily available ingredients and recipes that are fast and easy. Debuting new recipes weekly and a how-to cooking video posted every Tuesday, Weelicious is a wealth of trusted information for families.

In 2012, William Morrow published Catherine's first book, Weelicious: One Family. One Meal. An inspirational feeding guide, Catherine cleverly weaves together first-hand experience with fact-based evidence, then naturally progresses into 140 of her original “fast, fun and easy” recipes. Her second book, Weelicious Lunches: Think Outside the Lunchbox published by William Morrow in September 2013. Addressing the familiar lament of the redundant nature of creating lunches for children, Catherine provides a variety of realistic solutions and more than 160 recipes to help time-challenged parents think outside the box, and beyond the standard PB&J, when packing their kids' lunch. Catherine’s third book, The Smoothie Project, will be published January 2020 with Abrams.

Catherine authors a monthly “Snack Mom” column in Parenting Magazine, has appeared multiple times in People, Self and Real Simple Magazine, on the Today Show, The Chew, Access Hollywood Live, Good Morning America and Fox News. She appears regularly on the Food Network’s Guy’s Grocery Games has guested on Next Food Network Star and Duff Till Dawn and each week on NBC’s Danny Seo Naturally.

In 2016, Catherine co-founded One Potato: an organic family friendly meal company delivering semi-prepared meals to encourage families to cook and eat together. Currently One Potato is in 8 states on the west coast and building out a line of sauce, dressing and in store 10 minute dinner kits.
