The nitty gritty and a sample menu plan

I will be sharing a sample menu of 6 days worth of dinner meals. However, before I do that I want to share some vital information on my history of nutrition and my philosophy on eating the way we do.

I am not a doctor or nutritionist and have never been to school for any food related degree. I only offer advice based on personal information that has helped our family thrive, hours of research, wisdom imparted from The Lord on eating the way He created our bodies to process food, and information provided by my medical naturopathic doctor. 

I believe our bodies were designed to process food closest to their whole state. I do believe we need animal protein to function well and I am not an advocate for vegetarians, vegans, or raw diets. (Or any diets in general.) I AM for changing a westernized way of eating to a healthy way by fueling the body with nutrient RICH food. I believe calorie counting isn't a resourceful tool on eating healthy and shouldn't be recorded. I also believe eating organic, non-GMO food is crucial for healthy eating, including fats, properly prepared grains, grass fed, local (when possible) meats, full fat raw dairy, fermented foods, filtered water, raw and cooked vegetables, fruit in moderation, organic coffee in moderation and soaked and sprouted nuts and legumes. I follow a 70% vegetable to 30% protein rule. The biggest thing I must mention is that life shouldn't be about rules and worrying about a strict diet. It should be about enjoying what you are eating and knowing that the food you are fueling your body with is helping you to live a long, abundant life! Taking a day off from cooking, partaking in a meal with friends, or indulging in a special birthday dessert is okay and should be enjoyed! Stressing about eating perfect 100% of the time does more damage to your body by raising cortisol levels than actually eating that piece of cheesecake for a special treat! So enjoy life, food, friends and family and know that because 90% of the time you eat a great diet, the other 10% you will be just fine indulging. :) 

Now that the nitty gritty is over, here is a sample menu of 6 dinners:

BBQ Hawaiian chicken taquitos
Mexican salad
