Story
I am very excited to introduce you to this amazing family. They are relatives living in an apartment in Anchorage. They were a family of 6; they have 4 children, 3 boys and one girl. This month they brought in 8 additional nephews and nieces into their home. Two boys are currently reunited and living with their father. This family has doubled in size. There are 10 children in this home ranging from ages 2-17.
In speaking with the mother, she stressed that eating meals together was very important. Her protein choices are chicken, ground beef (meat balls) and eggs. The children are healthy eaters and Do Not have any known food allergies. For starch, they like rice and they have no preference over wheat or white bread. Most of their vegetables are canned or fresh.
A typical breakfast for the family consists of cereal, frozen waffles, and pancakes. They really like Krusteaz pancake mix.
The children are not fussy about what they drink. She focuses on milk, water and juice.
I asked about spices, and she shared that she uses vegetable oil for frying chicken. Soy sauce, curry and Yoshida are all staples in their kitchen.
With such a large household, they usually shop at Costco and Walmart.
