Are you ready? You should be, but if not, go back and read my intro post called “How to Eat Real Food: Get Ready!” I know some of you are new to eating Real Food and might be scared. I mean, this is probably going to mean giving up stuff you really, really like. Stuff
The world of Real Food is such a hard one, isn’t it? I mean, you finally get up the gumption to make a switch after learning WHY it’s a good idea, and then? You find yourself COMPLETELY overwhelmed, not knowing where to start. Or, you start and you switch so many things at once that
For THIS WEEK ONLY, you can get a whopper of a deal on a collection of Real Food Books from some of my favorite Real Food author and bloggers!! Maybe you can treat yourself to this as an early “Yay, it’s finally spring!” gift! I just downloaded the bundle for myself and am looking forward
You asked for it and here it is! This is the recipe my hubby came up with for super yummy, homemade pancakes. Our kids LOVE them and we usually have them a couple times a week. Sometimes we add chocolate chips or blueberries and we always top with Real Maple Syrup. Also, you can adjust
Do you ever feel like you spend all of your time in the kitchen? This can especially be true when you are aiming to eat Real Food. Some days the last thing you want to do is cook yet you feel the weight and importance of feeding your family good stuff. For us, breakfasts can
First of all, Happy Easter, or as we say around here “Happy Resurrection Day”! I know we might not all share the same faith, but I have to say how thankful I am for my Savior and the sacrifice He made for us! That being said, I want to also mention 2 things you MIGHT
Hi Folks! Hurry! There are only 3 days left to listen to the incredible interviews taking place for the Healthy Life Summit! (and scroll down to see reasons why you should listen….including the fact that it’s FREE!) I have to be honest, I haven’t listened to a LOT of them (yet), but judging from Facebook
As soon as we get a few nice, sunny days here in wintry, cold Michigan, I start dreaming about my garden. I spent last weekend with some girlfriends from church up at our family’s cottage. It was so fun to hang out and enjoy time with friends who are “into” the same things I am.
How would you like to enjoy an online conference from some of the TOP names in Health, Wellness, Real Food, food blogging and farming? And all from the comfort of your kitchen table, comfy couch (or even while laying in bed in your PJ’s)? I am SO excited to let you know of the upcoming
Get excited folks! Have I got a deal for you! First of all, thanks to all of you who entered. It’s evident that these Real Food Meal Plans are a great resource from Emily. In fact, I have her Chili & Cornbread and her Spaghetti Squash Carbonara on our family’s meal plan for the upcoming
Getting REAL FOOD on the table for dinner is hard, isn’t it? I know I struggle, especially if I am not doing a great job with meal planning. But, what if…. – all of your meals were planned out FOR YOU? – those meals included a grocery shopping list? – were emailed to your inbox
Oh how I remember my favorite “hot lunch” days during my school years. The chunky chicken soup with the super buttery rolls. (Was that even butter? I doubt it…It was probably margarine since it was in the 80′s). And chili day with the cinnamon rolls. And pizza day rectangular-cardboard-with-fake-cheese-and-sauce-on-it-day. Ooooh yummy. Now that I have kids
I really should keep a list of things to share with all of you. Sometimes I’ll read an article or see a picture that I think “Oh, my readers would love this” and then I forget about it. Anyway, here are the ones I DID remember and wanted to pass on to you: First off,
Did you know: • that some simple changes in your diet can affect your fertility for the better? • that there are proven ways to prevent morning sickness? • that eating a low-fat diet makes you much more likely to be infertile? And do you want to learn what the best foods for babies are, how to breastfeed,
High Fructose Corn Syrup is current easy target for Real Food eaters everywhere. But why? Are you wondering whether to believe the corn producers who say your body processes it just like any other sugar out there and who now aim to rename it “corn sugar”? Or, do you believe those voices in the Real
One of my favorite things about fall and winter is SOUP! And one of my all-time favorite soups is Butternut Squash soup. I have learned to sort of “wing it” when making my own soup. A lot of times when I cook, I look up recipes in the realm of what I am trying to
It’s cold and snowy here in Michigan, which means it’s perfect weather for SOUP! I recently was given a whole bunch of my grandma’s recipes – all favorites of our family from our growing up years. If you read my most recent post about my New Year Real Food goals, you saw that one of
I have been thinking that I should make some Real Food goals for this next year. I mean I’m exercising, I’ve gotten rid of my Carmel Latte non-real-food splurges, and am taking cod liver oil/elderberry syrup each day so I’m not doing too bad. But, I do think it’s always good to challenge yourself to do

MANY of the “real foodie” bloggers that I follow were recently at the WAPF (Weston A. Price Foundation) conference and I was obsessed with following all of their “tweets” and FB updates on things they were learning from the speakers. What? You say you’ve never heard of WAPF??? Not to worry. Look for a new
As soon as we get a few nice, sunny days here in wintry, cold Michigan, I start dreaming about my garden. I spent last weekend with some girlfriends from church up at our family’s cottage. It was so fun to hang out and enjoy time with friends who are “into” the same things I am.
I recently splurged some of my Christmas money on some Real Food books….so now I supposed I better read them, huh?! I’m going to share my list with all of you so you can 1) hold me accountable to actually read them, and 2) read them along with me if you’d like! Go ahead and
