I had the incredible honor of guest posting for Paleo Parents. If you don’t know who Paleo Parents are, well then you need to go check them out. Their blog and cookbooks have been such a major part of my life as a Paleo family. I love everything that they stand for and their constant encouragement is so refreshing in this day-of-age.

Also, Paleo Parents have put out two AMAZING Paleo cookbooks:
1. Eat Like a Dinosaur – a cookbook designed for kids!
2. Beyond Bacon – a cookbook designed for cooking with all parts of the hog!
Don’t forget to go read my post on why it’s so important to raise kids that appreciate and love their food. I give suggestions for involving them in the whole process of “farm to fork” and, also, give some great children’s book suggestions that help to cultivate that love of real food!

I’ve decided to go the Clean Eating route, not just for me but for my whole family. Now I haven’t put it into motion yet because I want to be fully prepared. I have purchased and read Eat Like a Dinasour and Practical Paleo, but and it’s a big BUT, I don’t know how to transition or cut off my kids from grains, since they’ve been on it their whole lives; my boys are 7, 5 and twin 4 yr olds. So how can I make this change when they don’t eat or like fruits and vegetables just a selected few. (Feeling embarrassed but need the help)
I think just a gradual shift and slowly start eliminating foods from their diet and replacing them with healthier ones. It won’t be easy but it will be the best thing you can do for them. Just take it one battle at a time…
How about Cultivating a Love of Real Food in Adults!
My husband WANTS to change and eat healthier, but he is having a really hard time with change, and adjusting away from all of the processed, sugar filled food. He feels hungry often, and we are stumped at how to feed our growing family successfully without breaking the bank or going overboard with eggs and bacon. This is quite the learning curve for us!
