Stacy brought apples and chicken liver mouse to the movies and sometimes brings nuts Danielle doesn't go to the movies often, and the last time she tried to go to the movies the movie date with her husband was cancelled because of book editing - but she typically brings water when she does go Sarah takes a cheat and has popcorn if she is feeling well Brittanie has popcorn as well, but gets a popcorn baby from eating it - well worth it though When Brittanie started her blog she was managing three diets in her house: she was on paleo, her husband on SAD, and her son wouldn't touch anything green Brittanie felt like this plan was too expensive and took too much time So she started cooking paleo meals for herself and modified from there to make sure that her husband and son could enjoy them Her family's old favorite meal was spaghetti and meatballs, so she made the dish with zucchini noodles and her husband would eat that, but her son wouldn't Her son would have the meatballs and some garlic bread instead of the zucchini Eventually she stopped buying the bread, and then she started making paleo versions of the foods they eat, like pizza Her husband and son eat dairy, but she doesn't and just leaves cheese off her side of the pizza and omits where and when she needs to She also plays with texture, one of the recipes she makes is an Indian spiced beef with spaghetti squash - her and her husband eat the beef and squash, and for her son she grinds up the spaghetti squash and makes it into a patty with the beef (Brittanie's son is 4 1/2) Sarah's daughter recently had a run in with dairy and gluten and those are always hard situations to deal with when your kid's diet is compromised outside of the home - check this podcast out for information on sneak exposures and maintaining a Paleo diet away from home Danielle's household was a slow transfer to paleo just like Brittanie, she started eating paleo before Asher was born and her husband took on a paleo diet to support her Overtime her husband would relax his limitations when eating out and would experience negative effects Her husband is 95% paleo now, even when he is not with Danielle When Asher was little she at first gave him certain items like baby oatmeal and she started him mostly gluten-free, but gave him Annie's Cheddar Bunnies, which was one of the only things he had with gluten (Stacy notes that Annie's does offer gluten free products) However at PaleoFX she learned a lot that made her reevaluate the structure of her son's diet to try her best to limit his risk of developing the same autoimmune condition that she has Now he is gluten-free, but he does have brown rice cakes and a couple of o
