[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't call us snobs, but we do prioritize eating and preparing organic, real foods.  My husband and I are gluten-free and do the paleo/primal thing about 90% of the time (I have food allergies and volatile blood sugar).  We focus on lots of veggies and free-range meats and eggs, eat moderate portions, and don't really worry about fats.  We get a shipment of veggies every week from Washington's Green Grocer and do most of our shopping at Trader Joe's and MOM's.  My husband is a SAHD and does all of the cooking -- from scratch, every day, and yes, I know this is a godsend.

Our 4YODDs eat grains, but we try to limit refined grains, processed foods, and refined sugar.  Our rule is that they HAVE to eat at least two pieces of veggie at lunch and dinner, no matter what.  We have been trying to brainwash them from early childhood that soda is terribly unhealthy, and juice is a sometimes treat.

Breakfast:
French toast made with free-range eggs and whole-grain spelt bread, served with no-sugar-added apple butter
Low-sugar cereal (Barbara's oat squares or Trader Joe's Os) with organic whole milk
Scrambled free-range egg and whole-grain spelt toast with fruit spread

Lunch:
Leftovers from the previous night's dinner
Pita pizza (made with small, whole-wheat pitas), served with veggies
If we are in a hurry, Dr. Praeger's fish sticks and some veggies

Dinner:
Baked salmon with sauteed kale and baked sweet potato fries
Stew beef with carrots and onions, served with sauteed broccoli and baked parsnip fries (put it in a fry shape and my girls will eat it)
Broiled steak served with roasted fennel and sauteed collard greens

Snacks can be fruit, oatmeal sweetened with maple syrup, cookies made with almond flour, full-fat Greek yogurt with fruit and honey, hummus and crackers, etc.[/quote]
