I expressed my love for all things pesto a couple of months ago with this classic pesto recipe. I just loved how easy it was to make and how flavorful it was – it was perfect for chicken, pasta, as a condiment or whatever else. I loved how versatile it was! I used this recipe…
Healthy Chocolate Ice Cream
Can you believe I said this was a healthy ice cream? I know it sounds too good to be true, but it’s not! If I had to pick one food that I never wanted to live without, it would definitely be ice cream. There’s nothing better than a bowl of rich, creamy, frozen sweetness. I’m…
Homemade Vegetable Soup
Since starting marathon training a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to work with a nutritionist through my job. I eat clean most of the time and generally get my recommended amount of fruits and vegetables. One of the suggestions the nutritionist had for me was to add more vegetables. The information that she…
Ultimate Collection of Vegetarian and Vegan Recipes
My family has recently tried to eat a vegetarian diet. Prior to this, our meals were all centered around the meat as the main course. That made transitioning to a plant-based diet a little challenging. But as we got used to not having meat as the star of the plate, we realized how many delicious…
7 Reasons to Go Vegan
Over the past few years, I have concentrated on a healthier diet for my family based on real, unprocessed ingredients.

Vegan Banana Bread
I started experimenting with a vegan diet about 6 weeks ago. In all honesty, I thought it was going to be much harder than it actually has been. I was worried about cutting cheese out of my diet but that hasn’t been all that difficult. But I hadn’t really ventured into vegan baked goods. I’ve…

Vegetarian Black Bean Soup
We’ve been trying to incorporate more vegetarian meals into our diet and gradually decreasing the amount of meat we consume. Mr. Real Food has always been a big meat eater but he was willing to give it a try. He loves beans so was willing to try more meatless meals that involved beans. I can…
50 Shades of Vegan
I am currently in the process of going vegan. As with any change, it’s a good idea to take it slow and make gradual changes and that’s just what I’m doing. Because I love cheese, eggs and ice cream so much, I didn’t feel like I could be successful by suddenly eliminating everything from my…
