The Team

Welcome to the Adventures of MJ and Hungryman!

Hi, friend! I am Min (MJ) Kwon, and I am so glad you are here. I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, recipe developer, baby led feeding expert, and most importantly a wife and mama to two completely opposite and amazing kids.

Feeding babies and toddlers can feel incredibly overwhelming and impossible when you're in the thick of it. However, I am here to lend a helping hand by providing encouragement, straightforward tips and tricks, and simple, doable recipes to make this challenging journey smoother and more enjoyable for you.

A Little Background About Me

I started blogging since 2012 to share my passion for cooking and nutrition. Back then it was just me  and the Hungryman (the husband). Since 2017, we've welcomed our gentle, sensitive son and a firecracker daughter into our lives three years later.

To share a little bit of my education and work background, I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Emory University and a Masters in Nutrition from Texas State University. Since then I've worked in various areas of nutrition but found my true passion in baby and child nutrition after becoming a mom.

I have supported thousands of families with feeding their babies, toddlers, and young children over the years by creating lots of free resources on this site as well as several ecookbooks and a 3 month meal plan program.

Frequently Asked Questions

How did you come up with the blog name?

It was actually the husband’s idea! He loves super heroes and instead of the amazing adventures of Spider-man, he thought it’d be fun to name ours the adventures of MJ (short for Min Jung) and the Hungryman (the husband who eats). That’s why he’s wearing a cape in our cartoon logo.

Do you take recipe suggestions?

Absolutely! I love connecting with this awesome community, and I'm super curious about what dishes you're into. Feel free to share, and I'll do my best to put a baby and kid-friendly spin. Shoot me an email - min (at) mjandhungryman (dot) com - or message me on Instagram!

As a working mom, your website really made my life easier where it takes the guesswork out of ensuring my son has a nutritious lunch each day- and being able to make a huge batch to freeze is a huge plus!

I have been following Min since my daughter was around 9-10 months old (she’s now 3 y/o), and her tips on feeding babies/kids have always been so helpful on our food journey. From her I have learned that instead of worrying about how much my daughter is eating, to focus instead on exposure to a wide variety of foods.
Lourdes
I recommend Min to every single parent who would like to introduce their little one to healthy foods that are not only easy to make and store, but that also would be loved by the entire family!

How to Cook for Babies

The most sought-after feature on my blog is the "how-to" series, where I share in-depth posts about a single ingredient, such as chicken and broccoli. These comprehensive guides provide step-by-step instructions on how to cook and serve the food to your baby, ensuring it's not only informative but also reassuring.

Feeding Toddlers

If your child has recently turned one and suddenly shows reluctance to eat or lacks enthusiasm during meals (which is entirely normal and expected!), I also provide helpful tips on navigating this tricky phase of independence and unpredictability. These tips aim to guide you through this period with reassurance and support.
