Paleo Pregnancy – addicted to crepes

February 16, 2016 by wildsunshine Leave a Comment

Ever since Pippa started eating solid foods, we’ve been casual followers of the Paleo and WAPF nutrition guidelines. I say casual because we do occasionally eat beans out of the can, rice, and we do eat dairy (although we do keep our dairy to yogurt/cheese/kefir, i.e. the fermented set). Knowing we would love to have a third child I made sure to eat extremely healthy last spring and summer. And here I am in the third trimester, yet again trying to give a sh*t about what I eat because… I’m hungry. ALL the time. And I want carbs. Bread. Cake. Rice Krispy treats. All the stuff I know will not grow a healthy baby.

At least we abide by eating a lot of meat and after purchasing a quarter cow last summer, we still have a good supply of grass feed beef in the freezer. In the words of my kids “we love MEAT.”

I also have never been pregnant in the winter when it’s hard to make it outside with a 2 and 4 year old. So my instinct is to eat. And hibernate. We spend 15 minutes getting ready for 10 minutes outside before they are cold. And another 10 minutes getting undressed and putting our winter gear away. Then I’m ready for a nap.

33 weeks preggers y’all.

So what have we been eating?

  • lots of soup with bone broths
  • stew beef in the crockpot
  • almond butter stuffed dates
  • dark dove chocolate (it’s my vice, can’t help it)
  • apples and cheese
  • paleo crepes (I make these almost daily at quite time in our house so I can eat an entire plate in peace)

Thanks for letting me vent. And sorry about the lack of photos. We just got a new computer, a Mac (and I am SO excited for the photo editing opportunities!) but am still in the process of moving photos and learning the ropes. I promise, more photos coming soon!

Hey Y’all!

I'm Amanda, a mama of four wild things and a growing herd of animals. We just built a farmhouse on our 13 acres of countryside in North Carolina, and are on our way to transform worn out tobacco pasture into a diverse landscape of animals, veggies, orchards, and grapevines. Join me on the farming journey! Read More…

Sometimes an emergency grocery store egg pickup is Sometimes an emergency grocery store egg pickup is a beautiful reminder of why I love farm fresh eggs 😍 Not much is as satisfying as feeding my kids nutrient dense food that we raised! Totally doubling our flock size this year... and tripling the size of their run so we can contain the garden-eating beasties. #backyardchickens #homesteadinglife #wildsunshinefarm #nofilter
If you haven’t spent the last 36 hours watching If you haven’t spent the last 36 hours watching your children go mud sledding and doing 189 loads of laundry, you’re missing out. Our one inch of snow was gone by lunch yesterday, and yet... #letthembewild #farmkids #countrylife #sendmoredetergent #wildsunshinefarm #powerofplay
Pulling carrots from the garden in January is such Pulling carrots from the garden in January is such a gift! We are down to the last few, and they are so sweet! Over here we are big time garden planning, both with veg and flowers, and designing pathways and patios and arbors! We still don’t have a sidewalk, and the ground is a mud pit every time it rains. Any guess how many muddy dog footprints are currently on the floor? 😂😂😭 Sidewalk is at the top of the list. #wildsunshinefarm #wintergarden #homesteading #homesteadmama
Sometimes you don’t realize how much you miss ha Sometimes you don’t realize how much you miss having a dog in your life until you have one ❤️#puppylove #mochadoodle #farmdogintraining #wildsunshinefarm
If you haven’t had the pleasure of spending the If you haven’t had the pleasure of spending the past 10 months of quarantine with a toddler, allow me to present today’s mess. A half devoured bag of marshmallows along with a pan, several smashed blueberries (in the new cabinet), and some rogue pistachios. Pretty certain this three year old cannot survive without his daily dose of mischief 🤯 #soreadyformycovidvaccine #mamabecrazy #letmeout #wildsunshinefarm #farmlife #homesteadmama
After the hustle of Christmas and a month of relax After the hustle of Christmas and a month of relaxing (and if I’m honest, baking cookies and taking way too many baths to wash off 2020), the farm is awake. It’s awake and beckoning with her many projects that must be done before spring... which means I have to finish this beauty that I didn’t get around to last year. I’ve had the wood since June, and am finally building us a larger dining table. Hoping that 2021 brings the return of friends around this table and dinners with family!
