To better understand how we eat, look at What do we eat? For the basics, we are a grain free, dairy free, egg free, Kosher family.
For this week (and the next several), it is just myself and the PaleoKidz as PaleoDad has already left for Atlanta.
Breakfast depends on our moods. Either the kids choose or I make a decision based on what we have and what I feel like making. Because we can't eat eggs, these may not be "perfectly Paleo," but it works for us, for now.
Lunches tend to be leftovers from the night before, if I'm lucky enough to have any or some kind of salad.
** are recipes that are new to us. We will let you know what we thought of them next week.
This week's menu is:
Breakfast possibilities:
(I will also be trying to work more meat (beef bacon) into the kids' breakfasts, as they are constantly looking for snacks. I'm hoping that the increased protein and fat will help with this.)
