All opinions are mine alone. #BordenCheeseLove #CollectiveBias #Ad There is a restaurant in my area that my family frequents that serves an appetizer appropriately named the “Avocado Cheese Bomb.” Obviously it’s loaded with avocado and cheese, but it also has chicken in the center.

Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili
Now that some cooler, more winter-like temperatures are here, it’s time for some chili! I’ve had an on-going debate with Mr. Real Food for some time now about whether or not chili should have meat. He says it does and I disagree. To me, chili needs to be hearty, filling and warm. This black bean…

I recently discovered the benefits of peppermint oil after a visit to a naturopathic doctor. After dealing with digestive and bloating issues for the past 2 plus years and exhausting every traditional medicine treatment, I was willing to try just about anything. My naturopath suggested peppermint oil supplements to help. Having never heard of peppermint…
Banana Bread Muffins
Banana bread is one of my favorite foods. There’s nothing better than a warm, moist slice of banana nut bread. Bananas are so rich in potassium and so good for you so I always try to eat at least one a day. But since sometimes they go bad more quickly than I’m able to eat…
