A Sample Day

This is a quick run down on what we ate today (me and 2 kiddos).
Breakfast:
sprouted english muffin with a tablespoon or so of pastured butter and a tablespoon of raw & unfiltered honey topped with shredded unsweetened coconut, glass of raw milk, 2tsps of CLO
I had various supplements and we all had a probiotic.
(The kids were still hungry so I mix a little more butter, honey and coconut together and they ate it. It was like frosting!) It held them until lunch!

Lunch:
leftover burgers (grassfed beef) on half a sprouted bun toasted with butter, green salad, carrots, sauerkraut, pickle
I drank a little Kombucha while fixing lunch. YUM!

Snack:
Watermelon
(we snuck in a few bites of chocolate chip cookies - at least they were made with org. flour, real butter, etc. : ) )

Dinner:
Roasted Chicken, Lentil Rice, Salad (The Lentil Rice was supposed to be soup but ended up more of a pilaf. I guess I will turn it into soup for leftovers.)
few pieces of dark chocolate for me

That's what we ate today. I must say I am stuffed right now. I was planning on homemade ice cream but no way! The kids did not ask for snacks all day. They really seemed to be quite satisfied.

I will soak the oatmeal soon for breakfast tomorrow. We will plan to eat the chicken for lunch tomorrow. I saw a recipe for Salmon Spread. I may make that for dinner tomorrow. We brought in HUGE cucumbers from the garden today. So large that I think I want to try to stuff them.

*The hubby had the same for lunch & dinner - minus the saurkraut & pickles. He's not ready for that yet. I don't think he had breakfast. Maybe one day I will be able to fix it for him before he leaves for work. Baby steps. : )

Baby's Day
This is what the baby had today:
bottle of goat's milk formula
small bowl of yogurt (then more : ) - she loves it!) with added probiotic
strawberry flavored CLO

Bottle of goat's milk formula

Another bottle, extra dose of reg CLO

Another bottle
Chicken Pate with a pinch of sea salt, butter oil, a drop of iodine and her iron supplement

Last bottle with added probiotic

My First Post

Since this is my first post bear with me as I learn how to collect my thoughts.

Let me tell you a little bit about me. I am a mother and a wife. I am not a doctor nor do I have a degree in nutrition. I have done lots of reading and research on healthy eating. We don't eat at fast food restaurants and we rarely eat at a restaurant. I don't struggle with my weight and our children are rarely sick. I also love food and enjoy eating. People often ask me what we eat.

So that is the purpose of this blog. I will share how I got our family to where we are today. Our diet is not perfect but it is better.
