Here's my real food meal plan for the week.
As usual it's all real food, no processed ingredients, but not diet food. These meals are NOT low fat, low calorie, low carb, or low anything else. We've been there done that and it wasn't sustainable for our family.
We do strive though to use high quality ingredients as to best nourish our family, so all meat is pasture raised, eggs are organic and free range when I can get them, produce mostly organic when budget allows, raw grass fed milk, whole grains, homemade stocks, etc.
I've kind of fallen into a groove of 1-2 beef/pork dishes, 1-2 chicken/poultry dishes, 1 seafood dish, 1-2 vegetarian, and pizza night. It's what works for us. Enjoy!

liver? really with children? lol:)
Yup, liver with kids. I especially want my kids to eat liver because ounce for ounce, liver is the most nutrient dense food we know of. Liver is rich in vitamin A, riboflavin, vitamin B6, niacin, folate, vitamin B12 as well as minerals like iron, zinc, phosphorus, manganese and selenium. I hate liver on its own but I don't mind it grated and mixed in with other ground meat. This dirty rice is delicious! Promise! :)
