What We Ate: 5 Days of Kid-Friendly Real Food

July 28, 2015 by mydarlaclementine Leave a Comment

What We Ate: 5 Days of Kid-friendly Real Food, a diary of everything our family ate last week, (low grains, clean eating, non processed, sugar free, gluten free) by My Darla Clementine

I know I am not the only one who gets writer’s block while meal planning.  It can be difficult to come up with nutritious real foods that are quick and simple, delicious, budget-friendly, and meet everyone’s developmental needs (i.e. kid-friendly).  And, once we do find our clean eating groove, we can sometimes find ourselves stuck in “repeat” mode.

I wanted to share what our family ate last week with you, not to give you meal plans, recipes, or some magical answer to follow, but rather to show what everyday eating looks like for one mama who just wants her family to be healthy.  Hopefully our dining chronicles will toss a burst of inspiration and pop of flavor your way that will send you to your own fridge with fresh imagination.  Maybe you will want to copy what I’ve done, or maybe my food will just remind you of certain basic ingredients you already have and forgot about.

Our Dietary Restrictions:

Please keep in mind that our family may have different eating habits than yours, and that is ok!  We are a very low-grains family, try hard to avoid processed foods & refined sugars, and we do the organic thing when available and affordable.  Neither of our girls eat wheat or gluten yet, and Darla has not yet been introduced to grains (you can read more about babies and grains here and the schedule of first foods that we follow here).  Since we do a lot of pre-chewing and baby led weaning, baby Darla can handle almost everything we eat regardless of texture or size.

Let the Show Begin; Here’s What We Ate Last Week!

MONDAY

B: Veggie Omelets cooked in coconut oil (pastured eggs, bell pepper, onions, kale, mozzarella) – Darla had scrambled egg yolk & some of the veggies
