So much truth here! I have one child with crazy allergies and gut issues. There was a time where every meal she ate centered around bone broth, meat and veggies. We gave up our microwave years ago, so that meant cooking for every meal. No fast food, not even sandwiches. I should add that happened while we had just moved to a new state, 5 1/2 of us (I was pregnant) living in a 33 ft travel trailer while we were looking for a property to buy and my husband was working as a software developer from home! Ah, but I digress. The point is what seemed like a burden became a blessing. The entire family eats cleaner now. Even though we've found a couple breads and rice tortillas she can tolerate, we do lots of soups, stews and roasted veggies. One of my sweetest memories was having all 3 kids (9, 5 & 2) at the little dining table, each chopping vegetables at their own pace for soup. We ate very late that night, but their pride in having contributed to the family meal was the most delicious part.
