This is also a sticky wicket. Fruit, vegetables, dairy, meat, grains, oh my! How much is enough, etc... It's enough to drive you crazy. It drives me crazy on a daily basis, because Lacy almost refuses to eat anything unbreaded, and Riley is a super-crazy fruits and vegetable kid, but not so into protein. One thing we can all agree on is that we like ice cream and peanut butter. You would never think that when you walk into my house. But i won't get preachy, that happens enough. We do eat ice cream. Organic, or coconut-based, goat milk or raw and nut-based. Yum! So, i have a pantry with fruit leather, freeze-dried fruit, natural chocolate and toasted nori sheets (for Riley) and some GF alternatives for social situations. Ever had quinoa cookies? Even Lacy likes them. Will wonders never cease?
We eat 4 different breakfasts, lunches and dinners a day here. Joe and Lacy are all about animal protein, Riley likes raw treats and fresh produce, and I do mostly green juices, green smoothies and creative salads. Everyone ends up picking from plate at some point :)
SO, for those of you trying to get your kids to eat better, more, less or different, keep up the hard work-it has to pay off!!
I'll give some sneak peeks into my recipe stash to hopefully keep things interesting at home.
