Before I became a mom myself, I used to judge parents who fed their kids processed crap. I don’t do that anymore. Mostly because but also because feeding kids is hard af. I always assumed I’d feed my child Perfectly Paleo or whole food plantbased vegan meals. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not exactly serving up McDonald’s but my food philosophy has changed so much and has become (dare i say it) balanced!! I always offer plenty of fruits and veg, whole grains, legumes, healthy fats, and protein from both animal and plant-based sources. No arbitrary food rules over here when I just want my picky 2 year old to eat something other than a cracker and a granola bar.
•This week I’m trying something different with our groceries. I’m buying a few more frozen and premade items from the grocery store. 😱 🙊 Honestly, I needed a mental break from thinking I need to make everything homemade from scratch with the purest ingredients. Health will always be a priority in our household! But right now im leaning on things to make my life easier and im not mad about it. In fact, im hella grateful that I have access to these options in the grocery store! This isn’t our whole grocery haul- we already had a bunch of fruit, peppers, potatoes, and pantry basics like rice/ beans/ pasta.
(Are we feelin’ a blog post on this topic of feeding toddler/ convenience/ how moms can nourish themselves throughout all the chaos?)
