Breakfast in a large family.. 10 glasses of smoothie, one large oatmeal cake ( made from leftover oatmeal, by my 9 year old!)

Lunch on a birthday: On the left, fried (in coconut and palm oils) brown rice, and oven fried chicken, on the right, gluten/ starch free version of the same meal, fried cauliflower rice with eggs and peas, oven fried chicken ( breaded in a small amount of coconut flour)

Heavenly. Seriously. N didn't even notice the difference!

Dinner on a birthday: CAKE! Below:SF, GF, DF Chocolate cake filled with SF mixed berry jam, and frosted with coconut oil/ cocoa frosting, with a side of SF, DF, GF blackberry ice cream.

It was so filling, N only ate half! Great protein, great fiber!

Before the cake was cut:

Bedtime- or should have been, December 8, 2010

Taken without a flash, on a timer so as to reduce any movement... my favorite lamp.. well one of them :-)

Taken with no flash in the dark except for the book light, the camera only did it once.. wouldn't offer a repeat performance.

So restful while asleep!
