How to Keep Your Bacon Safe – Paleo Kid Thoughts

imageAs I’ve mentioned, my daughter Diana, age 7 and 1/2, is my “naturally paleo” kid.  Never cared for pasta, is always up for a second portion of meat and eats fried plantains on the daily.  She also claims paleo pancakes are better than IHOP. Seriously, she was born to eat paleo.

 

For a while now she’s been wanting to write a “guest post” for the blog, and on Sunday morning she had a burst of inspiration after an experience at breakfast with her bacon.   This was a total “Thinking Out Loud” moment for her, so, it was only fitting for me to include it in today’s post.  Besides, a little break from MY thoughts might not hurt 😉

Thinking-Out-Loud2

Thanks for hosting, Amanda!   And now, the (barely) edited version of “How to Keep Your Bacon Safe” by Diana Rosen:

How to Keep Your Bacon Safe

Bacon is good for you, but only the organic bacon.  It’s the best food in the world!! 🙂  Breakfast is the best time to eat bacon.  If someone is near you, make sure to hide your bacon in a good hiding spot.  When someone leaves their bacon on their plate your job is to get that bacon to safety.  Make sure no person is looking at you.  If someone in your family is a bacon crazy person like me, you need to be on the look out – you never know when they’re trying to eat your bacon.

Now we’re going to talk about your family trying to eat your bacon.  For example, my dad 20 minutes ago just was trying to steal my bacon.  I was also trying to get his bacon but whatever.  

Okay so how to keep your bacon safe.  Well one way is to eat the bacon.  2 is put it in your room in a bag.  3 is put it in a pocket in tin foil but make sure it’s tucked inside the pocket so no family member will see the bacon.  4 is put the bacon behind you.  But most important, remember don’t let your dad or someone else steal your bacon.

By Diana Rosen

If that guest post is not a sign that I’m raising my kids right, then please show me what would be.  Just kidding of course, it simply means Diana appreciates any excuse to write a story about her favorite food.  It’s really time I get her one of those bacon T-Shirts or something 🙂

Not to be outdone, Emily, age 6, also wrote a guest post for today.  She seems to be more into the design than the writing and that very much meshes with her style.  This was the finished project:

image

Don’t eat a lot of candy, eat a lot of colors.  Good advice for anyone and inclusive of all special diets, right?

image

In other kids news, Emily has officially “moved up” from Kindergarten as of yesterday.   I always have mixed feelings at the end of every school year, but mostly I’m relieved we got through another all in one piece!  The changes from the first day to the last are pretty drastic in Kindergarten but it’s easy to forget where you started if you don’t look back.

First day of Kindergarten

The difference in her writing even from the winter is pretty awesome 🙂

And not to steal my childrens’ spotlight (and because my thoughts right now just can’t compete with the bacon piece) I’ll leave you with all this to contemplate for today!

Stay cool, don’t eat too much candy, and please, for the love of all things paleo, keep your bacon safe from predators.

What’s your tip for keeping your ___________ (insert favorite food) safe?

I do a little too much of everything (except cleaning), and I enjoy laughing at myself. As long as I'm the one making the jokes, that is. Just kidding. So bring me your angst, your appetite and your frying pan and climb aboard!

    You are raising some very smart children:) I actually think Emily’s post goes to show that healthy eating can be much simpler than we make it out to be. And great advice for the bacon…in our house my best bet is to keep any good food out of sight and then (most likely) it won’t get stolen. Rob will eat things that are out on the counter or in the front of the fridge but rarely goes searching for food and easily forgets what we have:)

      Adam is the same, it has to be front and center for the most part, although he’ll put out a good effort to find anything sweet!

    Aww you’ve got some of the cutest kids ever! Obviously you’re doing right by them 🙂 I can’t say that I’ve ever had to fight for food that was already on my plate, buuuuut I did have a habit of hiding treats and snacks in odd places when I was still living at home so no one would eat the last one. The back of the veggie shelf in the fridge was a particular favourite spot 😉

      For some reason I’ve never thought to hide things in unsuspecting places but I’m hearing that a lot! Then again I’m a little too used to having my food eaten so I’ve basically given up:)

    So cute! I’m totally with Diana. Hiding your favorite food is key. Or you could be like Ross in Friends and write a really mean note and leave it in the fridge. Can’t say I haven’t done that as a joke 😉

    Adorable! I changed my eating habits over time without any prompting really…but some things stuck, like not eating red meat because my mom doesn’t (I eat fish and turkey/chicken). However, she eats no veggies, and I only ate carrots at Diana’s age – eventually I fell in love with leafy greens and all the rest!

    One thing that’s stuck – I used to write odes to ice cream. I still do 🙂

    I always hide food in my room or at the back of the fridge where my brothers won’t look! My brothers are 6 ft tall football players & eat everything in sight, so it can be hard just to get any food around my house lol! Love the guest post on keeping your bacon safe!

    I put our nuts in the freezer hoping my husband won’t eat them, but he started to ignore the frozen part and still eats them up like popcorn. Oh well better than other stuff right?

    Okay your kids are officially my favorites now! While Diana’s post was quite detailed and applicative, Emily’s was to the point and spot on as well. Very honored to have read their words of wisdom! My form of hiding food is to shove it behind everything else in the fridge/freezer so that not a single speck of it is in sight. It hasn’t worked very well so far :P.
