All in a days eating- Guest Post on 3 Moms and a Kitchen

I like food.  A lot.  With a family of 7 we eat a lot of it too.  Fortunately, though you may think all I do is talk about breastfeeding, I cook and I enjoy it... most of the time.  So I was honored to be asked to guest post over at 3 Moms and a Kitchen this week.  Since I couldn't pick a recipe to feature I decided to do a sampling in a day's worth of cooking for our family.  One of my favorite breakfast recipes that's done and ready to eat when you wake up, an iron boosting, protein packed dip for snack, a carrot salad that's a hit with our entire family, and a dinner straight from France, these are recipes are a big hit every time.  Hope you enjoy!
