RealFoodWednesdays

It’s that crazy time of the week when you entice us with your links and comments to go check out your blogs and your great REAL FOOD WEDNESDAY tips and ideas or recipes!  (Visit that link if you’re new and want to learn more about this blog carnival.)  Remember, if you’re a blogger, you’ll draw some good traffic to your site by participating!  (This is how I built up my traffic in the beginning.)

CAN YOU HELP?

1.  It’s not easy for me to catch them all on my own, and I’d really like everyone to play fair, so if you see any posts that don’t link back to this post (blog carnival etiquette you know!), can you email me please?  Kelly@KellytheKitchenKop.com.  If you don’t know how, I explain it at this REAL FOOD WEDNESDAY link.  (I hate playing hardball and removing links, so let’s all be good to the others who are bringing more traffic to your blogs with their links by doing the same, OK?) 

2.  Also, PLEASE let me know if you see a recipe posted that is blatantly not Real Food.  Someone who is striving and on the journey is one thing (as we all are), but if it’s really bad (canned bread, Velveeta, margarine, Egg Beaters, unfermented soy or any other fake food), please tell me so I can remove it.  (If I’ve removed your post, I hope there are no hard feelings, but people come to this post for Real Food ideas, and I don’t want to disappoint.)

3.  I hope you’ll retweet and stumble this post and also any sites you visit – this will get more exposure to all of us, thank you!

4.  Don’t have a blog?  We still want to hear from you!  Please leave your tips or recipes in the comments.

Thank you!

You’re up, and we can’t wait to see your stuff!

Wonderful seeing you tonight as always! :-) I posted my notes from the meeting. Good stuff, Dan did a great job talking about the pitfalls of a gluten free diet!

Hi Kelly. We’re busy with Easter here but I posted a retro video of my mom this week sharing wisdom about deviled eggs. I swear this thing has gotten over 35K views on YouTube and pilgrims may have manufactured the video camera we used: My mama peeling eggs.

Wow, April 20! Time flies, yikes. Things are finally growing in my neck of the woods, and I’ve been tromping around the fields and have discovered a new food (new to me) which is super yummy when fried up in lard (oh yeah, I broke out my best lard for this one).

My first try with beet kvass. For all of the wonderful benefits I’m supposed to be getting I’m still having a hard time taking it due to the taste. Does anyone have any tips for getting it down?

This is my first post for Real Food Wednesday – I’m a little nervous! I shared my GAPS diet legal oven fried chicken – I use almond flour for the breading and tallow for the frying.

Thanks for the round-up! I shared my favorite jam, just gave some to family and it disappeared quickly. I love that it has less than half the sugar of the original recipe so it tastes like fruit and not just sugar.

12 Tressa R April 20, 2011 at 1:31 am

Thanks for hosting again Kelly! I am sharing this delicious salad I made the other day, Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad with Toasted Walnuts. I hope you’ll all enjoy it!

I so look forward to linking up to Real Food Wednesdays every week! Thanks for hosting!! I’m sharing my homemade balsamic vinaigrette dressing. I never knew how easy homemade dressings were until a couple years ago. Mind blowing how easy they are! :)

Have a GREAT week & a BLESSED Easter!!

27 Beth April 20, 2011 at 8:46 am

I posted one of our current favorites: Pizza Rolls. The dc love them. Made with the yogurt dough and grass-fed beef. They would freeze well – I guess, ours never make it that far!

Scroll down to “What’s Cookin’?” in the post.

Shad roe is so delicious! It hasn’t made its way into the fish market where I shop yet. Soon, I hope.

Well, as I submit a post on square foot gardening recipes and eating right out of your garden — it is SNOWING! Spring oh spring why have you forsaken me? :)

I sure am looking forward to that garden though…

Shared my post on why low-fat diets are bad. :) It includes a link to my new book, Against the Grain: Delicious Recipes for the Whole Food and Grain-Free Diet (all grain-free and mostly GAPS-friendly recipes!).

Reply

39 Kimberly Hartke April 20, 2011 at 2:16 pm

Kate, I am so glad. Just yesterday I told the woman who runs my Nana’s elder care residence to PLEASE feed her real food. I went there and there were tubs of margarine, (not a stick of butter) and lots of soy protein nutrition drinks. Yikes!

Reply

40 Melissa @ Dyno-mom April 20, 2011 at 8:32 pm

It is so scary what people think is food when it comes to institutional food service! Do you have any ideas about how to teach the food service staff about real food? Do they have a staff nutritionist you can talk to? I was hospitalized last fall and if my mother and friends had not prepared REAL food for my husband to bring me, I would have been eating that some garbage. I feel for you!

Hi Kelly,
I love visiting your blog, but this is my first time posting! I couldn’t bear to ruin my free range, organic chicken eggs with a PAAS dye kit, so I played with natural dyes this week. I loved the results, and now my family can eat our easter eggs without me wondering just how much dye ended up in them.

Thanks for hosting, Kelly. Today I shared a post featuring several different dandelion recipes – cookies, wine and infusions. Dandelions are loaded with nutrients. I sure wish I could access mine now – they’re buried under about 7 inches of snow!
