Just thought it would be fitting to share this adorable picture of our littlest aspiring chef, getting familiar with her ingredients! If I don’t want a similar situation to transpire, I have to get what I need quickly these days or I might have to fish the “goods” out of the frig before I shut the door. Isn’t she just adorable? :)

So, most of my kids prefer plain old “potato fries”. Actually, if you gave them the choice, I’m almost positive they would pass right by mama’s homemade fries for the enemy fries, greasy McDonald.

For the most part their lunches are the same most days, but they don’t eat box cereal any more and they eat a lot more eggs/pancakes (I know, pancakes aren’t paleo, we’re getting there:). But because I don’t plan to make two meals for the kids/mom/Chris and I, we ALL eat paleo friendly meals for dinner. So for the most part we leave the bread/carbs off the dinner table. And the kids have been adjusting pretty well, there have been a few complaints, but they complained sometimes before so we’re not doing to bad. Continue reading
Welcome to my blog! My name is Jenni Burns, I'm on a journey of discovering the many joys found in being a homemaker. I started this blog as a place to help me keep my many recipes, and it's kind of transformed into a blog about what we are eating right now :) Currently our family is on a journey to become more healthy, AND I'm expecting our seventh child in June! We are doing the Paleo/Hunter Gatherer Diet, and making big changes in how we eat! I hope you find something to encourage you in your journey!
