The kids are actually really embracing this way of eating. I am encountering very little resistance to the food they are being given. I honestly thought this was going to be way harder than it is!
A couple nights ago we had pastured organic pork chops with sweet potato and brocolli. All three kids scored full points that night!
The kids have also been scoring points for eating their veggies in their lunches. We were growing tired of finding their veggies each day when they came home from school, so we decided to offer a reward. So far, Chloe has 6 points for eating veggies, Sophie has 5 and Daphne has 5.
The other night we had salmon & veg. Total points available was 14.
Salmon, sweet potato fries and edamame beans. Knowing that edamame is soy, which is not considered primal or paleo - I was willing to serve an unprocessed soy after seeing the high protein content and I happen to LOVE these beans! The kids are not so keen - but hopefully they will grow to love them as much as I do. I ensure that I buy organic non gmo edamame.
Daphne 14/14
Chloe 7/14 3 points for eating sweet potato, 3 points for eating edamame and 1 point for trying salmon
Sophie 5/14 3 points for eating sweet potatoe, 1 point each for trying edamame and salmon
We've had a couple of busy days and the kids have eaten at my parents house. Last night we went out for sushi - Daphne went to town on the sashimi! What a kid! Chloe went crazy with avocado nigiri, and Sophie enjoyed some Maki rolls. They did eat buffet dishes which included spring rolls, tempura battered items, cookies & ice cream. We also indulged in lots of rice! Lots of fun - yummy food!!
Tonight we are having a roast chicken, sweet potato and broccoli.
