I'm in desperate need of some delicious, kid friendly low carb/high protein paleo recipes my kids will eat. We do squash ravioli, cauliflower pizza, chicken tacos, fish and quinoa bowls, things like that, and try like most of it, but I was wondering what anyone has had success with? I get mine from the internet right now so they're always hit or miss with the kids.. Thanks!!

    Scrambled eggs, meat, and veggies in a bowl is good.

    Do you include cheese in your diet? If so, fish and veggies nuggets (holds together with egg and shredded cheese). A hit here

    Why do the kids have to eat paleo or low carb? Because you went on a diet they have to?

    why are you torturing your kids with paleo?

    actually, why are you doing paleo OP? You realize that all the foods that you listed in your OP were NOT eaten by Paleolithic man. Do you really think that cavemen ate chicken tacos?

    Your kids aren't on a diet. You are.

    ^ All of that.

    Learn self control so you don't force your family to eat what you do, just because it saves time.

    You signed up for this, not them. Pony up and get it, even if it means sacrificing more time to get them meals that THEY will enjoy.

    Lasagne with sweet potato instead of pasta, If you eat a little dairy then add some greek yogurt to the white sauce instead of cheese. Also check out the Nom Nom Paleo website.

    curious …why would you substitute sweet potato for pasta, when they are both carbs??????

    and lasagna made with "sweet potato' is NOT lasagna...

    This, completely.

    What do you give your kids when they refuse to eat your paleo dishes?
