i follow the instinctive eating guidelines so everyday is quite diferent.
i eat foods one after an other except when i eat organic bought letuce or
chicorees. Thet are so boring tasting that i often mix with some olives or
nuts salt and lemon juice.
i mostly don't eat in the morning or just 1 or 2 fruits, lunch is often
fruits then  nuts (  1/2 hour after  the fruits) and some greens ( if they
come from the garden or wild i don't seasonned) or an other day it wil be
some animals products and greens
diner is generaly animals products and greens or fruits and nuts if lot of
meat have been eaten at lunch ( in that case i am not interesseted by meats
at night.
For greens i have thoses days ( it will change with the seasons)
lettuce, chicorees( curly endive ,escarole,radichio etc...) corn
salad,arugula ,mustards , turnips radiches leaves or flower buds, kale,
dandelion, nettles( now they go to seeds and become very nutty), miners
lettuce .fennel shoots, artichoke
soon the buckwheat is going to be edible ( the leaves ) the lamb'squarter,
and differentes chicorees
For meats i have fresh or dry  beef ,lamb, chicken, deer, ants, eggs, sole,
cod, and other fishes , scallops, crabs, oysters , clams , swimming
scallops, bone marow,  brain, heart ,tiny bits of organs( don't have that
much attraction)
For nuts walnuts ,filberts, macadamias, butter nuts and japanese walnuts,
pistachios pine nuts...
For fruits oranges grapefruits, apples,  kiwis , dry berries some mangoes
 they are heat treated so i limit the consumption) avocados ,bananas.olives
( a lot of them those days)
that is the bulk of my intake .
on top come a wide variety of  wild and cultivated aromatic plants or
medicinals ( mint,  tarragon
angelica, oregon grape roots, licorice . etc...)

the quantities are very much variable but eating 1 pound of animal product
to 2 pounds  a day is the norm, the equivalent of a big romaine lettuce in
greens, one pound of fruit is average, and half a pound of nuts?

>Also, I'd be grateful for recipes if you have kid friendly snacks and drink
>ideas. (especially if you do dehydrated yummy things like "power bars" or
>"cookies", etc).

i am not into recipes because i usually don't mixe foods except in my mouth
as explained for commercial greens ( a bit of letuce , one olive , a bit of
lemon etc...)

my 3 years old  son's diet will look quite different than mine , despite we
eat  globally mostly the same things ( we don't necessarely want to eat the
same things at the same moments but we love to have picnic together anywhere
in the house or in the garden ) often we lie down under a quickly made tipi
out of blankets and share meat or nuts and pretend to be a deer grazing
directly on the vegetables beds, or spend one hour eating nettles  in the
woods ( a long process i have to harvest and rolled them between my fingers
to remove the sting and feed him and myself one bite at a time.
he eat a lot of them way more than i can .

so for him everyfood is a kid  friendly snack, it can be some marow or
dandelion buds or filberts and macadamias ( very often) he eat lot of fruits
too and dry fruit ( jackfruits or blackberries among many other kinds)
For drink , water , coconut water or freshly squized orange juice and
naturally,  breastmilk(  still quite a bit)
for me water or salted water and licorice water ( specific to my health
condition , not for everybody)


  Is there a raw food version of pemmican?

I can make a raw pemmican by mixing powdered dry meat with bone marow or
suet ( it crumble easely in small pieces ) it is very time consumming
because you have to work the whole thing a lot with your hand to manage to
melt the fat and mixe it thoroughly but it works. I don't do it for myself
because i don't see the point of so much work for my hands and arms  when my
jaw can simply do the job  of eating the dry beef with fats or bone marrow..

>How do you keep warm in a cold rustic climate with this style of eating?

And i am living into the california of canada ,it is very mild and rainny.
(i have more problem to stay dry) and coming from a high plateau in the
pyrennees in France ,the climate here is not cold.
In fact the 1st year that i didn't get frozen feets ( low blood pressure
problems due to adrenal insuficiency)) while working on a ski resort was the
year i started to eat instinctively ( i ate lot of wild filberts that year
and very little meat)


After reading the post i can't believe i eat all of that
bon appetit
