What she ate today

I decided to start a new series (ha) called "what she ate today". Basically I am going to take iPhone pics of what my baby ate that day and post them. Sounds amazing right? 

Why an I doing this? Well, people always seem surprised by what my baby eats so I thought this might give other moms some ideas for feeding their babies. I have to say first and foremost that Eloise is only 1 and eats pretty much anything I put in front if her but I realize that it may not last forever. I intend to be honest and post even when she stops eating such a great variety of foods. 

 Also, I am not trying to toot my own horn...I may feed my baby well, but that is pretty much the only thing I am good at. I am the worst housekeeper, I am lazy, and I take to many naps...but at least we eat well!!! 

We eat a mostly paleo diet. I say mostly because we do eat rice occasionally snd Also the occasional cheese . We also partake in the occasional bean :). When I talk about beef on this blog it will all be (unless stated otherwise) 100% grass fed from a local farm. The chicken is always organic, and the pork is usually humanely raised/organic (but not local because I'm just not that rich). 

Also in probBly going to be writing these posts on my iPhone while breast feeding my baby so expect the occasional auto correct typos. 

So here is what Eloise are yesterday, Friday the 21st. 

Pre Breakfast consisted of a paleo persimmon muffin (to keep her busy while I cooked her real breakfast. Here is a pic of the muffins, not the prettiest but they were tasty! Recipe here- http://fedandfit.com/2012/11/29/paleo-persimmon-walnut-mini-muffins/

Breakfast was bacon and sweet potato hash. We usually do eggs in some form, but she was getting a little tired of that. 

Lunch was leftovers from last night. It was one of my famous one pot wonders :) ground beef, Swiss chard, bock Chou, mushrooms, and cashews. The sauce was a mixture of coconut aminos (a grain/soy free soy sauce substitute) blackberry jam, ginger, mandarin juice, and a little cayenne. She loved it!!

Please note that in the above picture she had a tooth brush in her hand. We really encourage her to brush I'm between bites...just kidding!!! I have no idea why she had her toothbrush. 

We had to run some errands so she snacked on Asian pears in the car and later on had a little bit more muffin and ground beef stuff (she tends to eat every couple hours or more). I didn't get a pic of dinner but it consisted of my famous salsa chicken. I just throw some chicken thighs into the crock pot with some salsa and some other mexicanish spices and let it cook. I shred it and Eloise loves it! I also sautéed some onions and peppers. She loved those too. I did give her some organic cheese, mainly because Sean was having it and she really wanted some. Don't get mad paleo police!!! I never claimed to be perfect paleo!!! 

So that is it for yesterday. Also she nurses about every 2-3 hours, sometimes more often then that. I wonder if anyone will read this.

Parenting

I am not a parent so I obviously don't know as much as some. However, I do believe I have a little more experience with kids than most people I know who are my age without kids. I have been babysitting for a long time now. About 12 years to be exact. I have witnessed families with incredible parenting, horrible parenting, alternative parenting, and really strange parenting. I have realized that it really doesn't matter what form of discipline or training you use. Consistency is the key. I was once given a copy of the book, "To train up a child," by Micheal and Debbi pearl. I was about 19 years old when I started reading this book and to be honest I had to put it down after the first chapter. I was sickened. They start out by comparing children to military personal. Here is a passage from the first chapter. " When headstrong young men join the military, they are first taught to stand still. The many hours of close-order-drill are simply to teach and reinforce su

Turning over a new leaf

So, when I got a gym membership about 10 months ago I agreed with my husband that I should be working out about 3 times a week to make my gym membership financially worth it. I was doing really good until about 2 months ago. I think that finals, along with getting a new job, new schedule, and my own laziness has really got in the way. Lately I have been lucky if I make it to the gym 2 times a week... The interesting thing is that I am finally at a place in my life where I am comfortable in my own skin. I have learned to finally embrace the way God made me and realize that no matter what my outer appearance looks like the true beauty comes from a heart after God. I have comes to terms with what a real woman looks like. Not the woman on the cover of Cosmo, not the woman in any victoria secret catalogue. Those women are beautiful...but they are fake. They have no ounce of cellulite, they NEVER have stretch marks, their skin is perfectly smooth. A real woman, no matter how physically fit t

mother's day

For mother's day this year, my husband and I decided to gift my mother-in-law with a night at her house. We would provide the food and we would just hang out. My mother-in-law LOVES to have people over to her house and it doesn't happen very often because she lives about 1 hour from all of her kids. Recently I made a Mexican casserole made out of mostly leftovers. I just threw a bunch of crap together and it was very delicious (I am pretty confident in my cooking skills :). While we were eating I asked my husband what he wanted me to make for dinner and he said he wanted the leftover Mexican casserole .  So today I tried to recreate the yummy dish...except using all fresh ingredients, instead of leftovers...I really have no idea how is is going to turn out. I couldn't remember everything I put in the last one. I also made a peanut butter cream pie with an Oreo cookie crust. I got the recipe from pioneer woman and it looks sooooo good. I am sad because my camera batte
