Happy TGIF! (And Friday the 13th, eek!) Let’s bring on the healthy family friendly dinner recipes, woohoo!
A few weeks ago while away at the Type-A Conference, I experienced what felt like heartburn in my stomach. Ever since then, every time I eat something with even a smidgeon of fat in it, I experience it again, and it’s NOT FUN. Knowing my options are limited while breastfeeding, I decided to take the easiest solution – eliminate the fat and eliminate the belly ache, right?
So far, it’s been working!
My husband has been watching what I’ve been eating and has began feeling guilty for indulging where I cannot, and has decided to take on this same diet I’m on. At first, he grumbled over feeling hungry “all the time,” which I reminded him was just his metabolism super-boosting. Now he has healthy snacks at the ready for his every couple of hours snack needs, like I do, and he’s doing really well!
It’s hard to always make a second dinner for us, making something yummy and “normal” for the kids but a second, non-kid-friendly healthier option for us, so I decided to focus this week’s Flashback Friday on family-friendly healthy dinner recipes this week, both parent-friendly for us, and kid-friendly for the whole family! Get your clicking finger ready, these are bookmark and Pinterest-worthy recipes!
