In this episode, Part 1 of a 2 part series, 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 look like for the family, and how Brandon and Lauren build their menu around seasonally available ingredients to create nutritious, economical meals for their large, growing, energetic family.
