Hi, Amy!

Here's what we ate on Easter Sunday:

Breakfast:

Eggs with onion and tomato fried in bacon fat

Coffee with raw milk and blackstrap molasses

(I usually have a glass of beet kvass in the morning but I'm out)

Lunch:

We didn't eat lunch (just fed the baby her food -- she usually gets

liver, broth, and veggies and fruit with cream, butter or coconut oil)

I snack on crispy nuts, raw milk, kefir, fruit, and raw cheese

throughout the day, also drink kombucha and herbal tea with coconut oil.

I should have fed DH lunch b/c he got very hungry for dinner (I'm not

really a lunch person)

Dinner:

Garlic rosemary lamb chops

Potatoes au gratin

Asparagus in lemon butter sauce

Homemade strawberry ice cream (fresh strawberries from our CSA and raw

cream, sweetened w/ maple syrup)

Baby ate chicken livers and chicken heart in lemon butter sauce (Mommy

had some too -- it was GOOD!) and some peaches and raw cream - also

gave her some of the ice cream

I also always have a glass of kefir or raw milk before bed.

I'm trying to do a few big meals each week. I'm working FT so I do the

best I can. Sometimes my nanny helps me cook. I roast a chicken once a

week, and make stock 1-2 times a week (chicken or beef).

The nights I don't cook a big meal we will have something easy like

rice & beans (soaked overnight and cooked in chicken broth) and

chicken and a salad -- or just a salad and soup (the soup always

contains broth -- I usually make a vegetable soup like butternut

squash or tomato or celeriac).

I'm trying to get better at making lunch on the days I work from home.

We buy the sprouted bread -- I really wish I had time to make bread

every week. Sadly, my bread is not as good as I would like it to be

yet. It's good -- better than storebought -- but not yet as good as I

would like.

The more I cook, the more I'm learning how to do things more quickly

and how to make it easier. I often post what we are eating for dinner

on my blog: http://cheeseslave.wordpress.com

HTH!

what a great thread! I've gotten so many ideas. This is a creative

bunch! I'm reassured, too. Very glad nobody's perfect.

thanks!

here is what i eat on a daily basis. my son is almost 3 so his appetite changes

with the wind and my husband mostly just eats the dinners i fix and occasionally

has leftovers for lunch. i will preface this by saying i make chicken stock at

least twice a month. i like to make huge batches (16 quarts) and then have it in

the freezer b/c i use at least 4 quarts a week. i also have kefir grains and i

go through about a quart a day, so every night i strain my kefir and make a new

batch. i eat a high fat, low carb diet and i do not eat fruit or sugar or

grains.

breakfast: milk shake made from 1/2 cup each raw milk and cream, 6 egg yolks (i

always have bacon and sausage on hand for my son as these are his favorites)

lunch: coconut chicken soup, raw cheese, GT's kombucha

snack: kefir, raw cheese

dinner: typically grass fed ground beef or a pastured chicken, occasionally pork

loin/chops, bacon; potatoes; sauerkraut; kombucha; sometimes soup like last

night we had potato leek

i add a couple of tablespoons coconut oil to each bowl of coco chicken soup and

butter to ones like potato leek. i don't eat many vegetables, but i do eat a lot

of sauteed onions and garlic in butter. when i have lard i like to saute

potatoes in it.

Thanks Poppy!

Yeah, it's amazing what is on our grocery store shelves. I'm so glad

I'm getting rid of all this junk I used to eat! It does make me angry

though that they get away with this. So many people are eating olive

oil that they think is real -- and most of it is fake.
