10 Family-Friendly Paleo Recipes

Our first summer as parents is coming to a close. So, I thought it might be fun to share a round-up of recipes that is focused on bringing parents and their kids together. I’m sure you know by now that getting kids into the kitchen to help prepare meals is a great way to help them establish life-long healthy eating habits. But did you know the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has put together a handy-dandy reference sheet of parenting tips for involving your children in meal prep?

Otto is just over 12 weeks old, so we have quite a long wait ahead of us before he can start helping make meals. But, it’s never too early to plan ahead, right? Assuming the world doesn’t end before he turns 2, I’ll be coming back to this post as well as referencing some of our favorite cookbooks, like Eat Like a Dinosaur, Nom Nom Paleo, Paleo Takeout, and Real Life Paleo, for ideas on how to get him involved.

Without further ado, here is a collection of recipes that are delicious and fun to make as a family! (Plus, at the end, a bonus list of my three favorite lactation cookie recipes for breastfeeding moms like myself.)
