Hello Sarah, I just posted a broccoli salad recipe. Thank you for hosting!
Hi Sarah,
I shared my Coconut Pecan Drop Cookies and two articles — one is a call for non-toxic mosquito repellent — I hope others will share their wisdom.
Hey, thanks a bunch for hosting
Hi Sarah,
I linked up to one of my new favorite salad recipes: Lime & Mint Chicken Coleslaw, as well as my list of 5 reasons to eat locally sourced food.
As someone who works from home and spends a great deal of time in the kitchen, I can’t imagine preparing 3 meals a day and snacks from scratch for my family while working outside the home for 40 hours a week! So I decided to take on the 40 Hour Work Week Challenge, where I am only allowed to cook for my family during the hours a regular working person would be home. Wish me luck!
Wow! Let us know how you do. I think this is great! Being retired and with no more children at home, I feel spoiled being able to spend so much time on food for just my husband and myself. Gee, just the shopping, meal planning, and prep work plus cooking, not to mention time reading books and on the computer learning about real traditional foods, left me wondering how working people and working parents can do this. I would think it very hard, so I look forward to your feedback.
I’m on Day 2 and so far, so good! I’m posting every day this week and I’ll share my wrap up blog on next Monday’s Monday Mania.
Over at The Cellulite Investigation, we are exploring Susun Weed’s book, Healing Wise, and how it relates to cellulite. Susun is an herbalist and an honorary member of the board of directors at WAPF.
Thanks, Sarah, for hosting week after week. I often don’t have time to comment as I’m usually linking up before I rush off to work, but I am grateful to be a part of Monday Mania!
Too hot to cook….fix cream cheese and jam!
Thanks for hosting.
A link to a seasonal gluten-free, dairy-free recipe and a post on what it really means to eat a balanced diet. Thanks for hosting!
I’ve linked to a list of online GAPS resources plus a post about an 1841 cookbook. Thanks for hosting, and have a great week!
Thanks for hosting! I posted about my dinner last night. It was REALLY tasty.
Thanks for all the great links ups everyone

I added my post on the Farmageddon movie I saw this weekend, thanks for hosting!
ps- i hate to do this and i’m not sure if it’s acceptable, but #26 and #31 are not real food. if either of the bloggers read this comment i encourage you to take a look around at some of the other posts on nutrient dense recipes and info and enjoy! again, sorry if this is rude!
Yikes, that M&M cake is scary!!!! I don’t think I would have considered that real food even before I knew what real food was!!!
Not rude at all…I posted #31. And no, it’s not real food. I can’t figure out how to delete the link though? Sorry about that!
Thank you as always for hosting Sarah. This week I have a review of a nutrition book directed at teens called Please don’t eat the wallpaper!
I love this summery fresh salad.It’s great as an side or a main as well as for lunch or dinner. Thanks for hosting Sarah!
Thank you for hosting! I’ve shared my favorite money-saving real food tips, as well as links to some of my favorite resources on the subject.
I wrote about my experiences with Liver, and I gave an Indian inspired recipe!
I shared my recipe for Chocolate Chiffon Cookies. This recipe is gluten free, but can be made with “regular” flour if you don’t have an issue with gluten.
Thanks for hosting!
The post I shared today was about living sugar free – I’ve been without cane sugar for 2 1/2 years now and I know what a struggle it can be in the beginning but there are healthy sweetener options and life feels much better without cane sugar.
I have loved meeting new folks at my blog! Thanks for visiting–here’s my newest honey creation for fruit salsa.
I just posted my recipe for Coconut Crunch Beans – http://www.favedietsblog.com/cooking-green-beans-coconut-crunch-beans/
I am confused about whether to eat grains at all. Which is correct? Nourishing Traditions, says to just soak grains/beans with an acid over night for the most part, but Nagel says even the soaking doesn’t help to reduce the phytates enough. I am considering selling my grain mill . Do I eliminate grains altogether/mostly or just make bread from unbleached white flour. Sorry this is scattered. I thought I had things in order following the NT as best I can. Now I wonder if the grain/bean free way is right and many of NT recipes are not enough to make the grain/beans healthy. Several in my family of 8 have cavity issues. Your thoughts on the grain/bean preparation comparison would be great.
Thanks so much
Marie
It depends on you, really. Grains are not really necessary in a healthy diet. So you can cut them out completely and be healthy. I would not use white flour at all – not only is it empty calories, it’s actually damaging to your health. I’m on the GAPS diet currently (gapsdiet.com) so I’ve had no grains or beans for over 5 months. It’s possible! I do eat green beans and use coconut and almond flours for baking. I think Sarah posted something recently about soaking beans and flours… you might want to search her blog.
My family has been eating a Primal/ GAPS-ish diet for about 6 months now and we feel great. I think there are some people who tolerate grains and legumes well. My mother is one of them, but my husband and I do not tolerate them well. My sister can handle legumes but not grains. I really would just go by your own personal health and how you feel. There is absolutely nothing unhealthy about eating nothing but meat, seafood, veggies, and fruit. It’s less boring than you’d think. You just have to get creative with the spices and be open minded about new cuts and animals.
Thanks so much for hosting! Just posted a favorite: Kung Pao Chicken
Number #20 – as delicious as it sounds
– uses a processed food ingredient (French’s onion rings from the can) – which is what I think makes the “recipe” unique, so in my opinion, it doesn’t qualify to be linked to a Real Food blog. Please correct me if I’m wrong – I would love for French’s onion rings to be REAL food!! LOL But in my REAL food revolution pantry clean-out , they were one of the first things to go.
I always like to see what everyone else is up to, so thanks for hosting! I went to a discount grocery store in a poor area (food desert) looking for options as close to the WAPF recommendations as possible. I found some good options and some serious disappointments. Check it out.
Thank you so much for hosting! I put out a plea for help from the more experienced Real Foodies, as I am just beginning this journey.
Can’t wait to read the linked up blogs!
Didn’t get a chance to post a comment earlier, but I posted a link about a historical perspective on fat in cooking, a la a book compiling a translation of medieval French and Italian recipes! Fat back is everywhere!
#61 is a tutorial to make your own homemade yogurt right on your counter top. It’s really easy and tastes great!
Hello!
I posted a recipe for Quinoa Salad and information on soap nuts.
I just posted information about the LDS Holistic Living Conference. Even if you don’t live close by, you can order the downloads and the handouts!
This is an amazing conference for those interested in whole foods, herbal remedies, and holistic living. 
Thanks as always for hosting! Always fun to get inspired with all these great recipes and info. This week, I’m sharing cultured potato salad and coconut flour cake! Mmm!! Blessings, Kelly
