In these episodes, Brandon and Lauren talk about their own kitchen principles and habits. They describe how these habits have come along slowly; but that since before they were married, and to this day, they have always cooked and eaten all three meals together as a family. They describe mealtimes as anchors to their day — “like monastery bells ringing us in”.
Learn what a typical breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack-time looks like for the family, and how they build their menu around what is seasonally available to create nutritious, economical meals for their large, growing, energetic family.
