Whew. This post-holiday season is rough, isn’t it? Getting back into the rhythm of kids in school, back to work, blogging, trying to keep my house clean (not to mention getting over a case of what I am pretty sure was influenza) is tiring! In the spirit of a New Year and the inevitable “goals”
When most people find out that we take cod liver oil at our house, the look on their face says it all. Gross. And you know what? Their assumptions are right. It tastes nasty (especially the fermented type). Over time, I think I’ve just gotten used to it and can swallow it without too much
Not everything we eat around our house is completely, 100% Real Food. I’ll admit it. That’s why a while back I wrote the post to further explain how and why we follow the 80/20 Rule when it comes to healthy eating. We try to eat real, whole, nourishing foods 80% of the time and then
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I love giving gifts, don’t you? If you are looking for ideas for yourself or for a Real Food Eater on your Christmas list, have I got the list for you! I polled some of my readers and here are some of my favorite items (and theirs)
This post really has NOTHING to do with food, but doesn’t that look good enough to EAT??? It’s actually one of the “recipes” from Mommypotamus’ new book called DIY Organic Beauty. This is just perfect timing for Christmas gift-giving! Most of these recipes can be made for $5. What a great way to treat yourself
When the seasons change and the weather gets cold, one of my favorite things to eat is soup! I love trying new recipes, switching up ones I find in cookbooks or online (or Pinterest!), or creating new ones! This Cheesy Vegetable Chowder is a favorite in our family. It was inspired by the Garden Chowder
Do you prefer to shop from home? I sure do! If so, you’ll be excited to learn that a bunch of bloggers from Village Green Network (formerly Real Food Media) have come together to offer their e-books, classes and other products for 40% off for Black Friday sales and through the weekend! Here’s the list
This is a guest post from a local Natural Health Practitioner that I know. Enjoy her tips! It’s that time of year when temperatures start to drop and the days get shorter and shorter. Even though it happens every year this way, we always seem surprised when it does. There are, though, some simple steps
The holidays are coming! And you know what that means? Food, family, food, friends, food, food and MORE food! If you are someone who has made the switch to eating Real Food, then you know how difficult it can be to stay on the Real Food “wagon” over the next month and a half. There
As much as I love feeding my family Real Food, a big challenge of eating Real Food is figuring out how to NOT be in the kitchen all day preparing it. I get asked lots of questions about Real Food and the top two are probably 1) Where do I start? and 2) How can
I’m asking some fellow Real Food Eaters to share their stories of how they came to eat Real Food. Each person is likely in a different spot in their Real Food Journey. My hope is that these can be an inspiration for you – and may even give you some ideas or tools to incorporate

A few weeks ago I got this picture via text from my parents – loads of produce from their garden. Every year, my dad plants a garden. Every year, either he or my mom pledge to never plant that many tomatoes, beans, zucchini or _______ (fill-in-the-blank) ever again. But, every year in May he repeats
It’s that time of year when you start seeing signs and advertisements (and even commercials) about the Flu Shot. You know, the ones that say “Get Your Flu Shot Here”. Now, I need to admit that I used to get a yearly flu shot – mainly when I was in college and nursing school and
This recipe actually calls for sausage, but I was out…..so instead we substituted some fresh basil and tomatoes from our garden!!! Here’s the original recipe: 6 slices bread, cubed 1 lb sausage, browned and drained 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese 8 eggs, beaten 2 cups milk 1 tsp salt pepper to taste Start with a
This is part 3 in my Raw Milk Reasons series. Now, you might think I am a proponent of raw milk because I drink tons of it and think it’s awesome. I DO think it’s great, but I honestly am NOT a big milk drinker. We don’t go through a whole lot of milk at
Have you tried coconut oil? If not, you need to. You really, really need to. Why?

In a previous post about coconut oil, I shared this: HEALTH BENEFITS
