Today's Paleo kai

Bacon is such a great way to start the day isn't it?

Breakfast
Bacon, scrambled eggs with coconut milk, and mushrooms fried in butter

Lunch
Last nights' leftover vegetables all mashed together with a tin of tuna then fried in butter to make a great big messy hash. Delish!

Dinner
Lasagne using courgettes as the pasta sheets, with grated vegies, a white sauce from Seaside Kitchen, and some Parmesan cheese sprinkled across the top. For some reason I couldn't get the sauce to thicken this time so used a little arrowroot to rescue it. Served the lasagne with steamed broccoli and cauliflower too.

Snacks for the kids
Carrot sticks dipped in almond butter, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, walnuts, raisins and a banana, plus a small amount of yoghurt with a little raw honey drizzled on top.

(We make our own Greek style sugar free EasiYo yoghurt and we got the raw honey from Bees Blessings which are at the Harbourside Market on Sunday mornings in town. Delicious!)

Here is Gus devouring his bacon and scrambled eggs. The bacon is by far the best we've ever tasted - it's from the Riverside Market in Lower Hutt and is called Pirongia Bacon. Proper smoked bacon the way it used to be!
