NEW HERE?
Welcome and PLEASE read below before you link up as this is a REAL FOOD carnival, and very different from others you may have joined in on.
I LOVE WEDNESDAYS!
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, and don’t miss my tips below.)
CAN YOU HELP? (6 rules and tips!) (Note: here’s where those of you who are new will want to read carefully, thank you!)
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, meat substitutes, Velveeta, margarine/vegetable oil, Egg Beaters, unfermented soy/tofu 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. Please don’t link up to your post where you’re writing about something as an affiliate if I’m already an affiliate for the same thing, OK? That includes giveaway posts. (Thank you for understanding!)
5. Want more traffic at your blog? if you’re linking up and hoping for more traffic to your blog, can I make a suggestion for how to boost your traffic? Besides just adding your link to the Mr. Linky doohicky, if you also comment and include just ONE interesting sentence to grab the readers attention AND a link to that specific post, you’ll get more hits for sure, at least from me anyway. I don’t often have time to go through every single link (although I know a lot of people do), but one thing I always do is read the comments. If there’s a sentence that grabs my interest AND a link to get me there easily, I’m much more apt to visit!
6. 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!

Hi,
This year I figured out how to make chestnut dressing with no bread or similar substitutes. It has a great texture and is 100% real food – grain-free, GAPS legal, and all that. I hope you like it! It was the highlight of my Christmas dinner.

Thanks for hosting! I shared a post on roasted vegetables, including quite a few ideas on how to use them.
With snow and ice on the ground in so many places, I’ve posted about the dangers of using salt, baking soda and chemical ice melters to plants, people, pets and planet. Instead there are safe alternatives, including a “recipe” for homemade window de-icer.
Happy holidays and thanks for hosting!

I linked up something I wrote for eating healthy while pregnant during the holidays – which really applies to us all!
Hi there. I’m sharing a few recipes to get people excited about foraging for wild foods, including my favorite – nettle paneer.

Hi Kelly,
Thanks for hosting! I shared my recipe for Pepper Steak & Gravy (#6) which even has the toddler begging for more!
Happy New Year!

Hi Kelly – Thanks for hosting. This week I’m sharing my recipe for Green Soup – a surprisingly delicious and nourishing dish that’s a great way to balance out a holiday of over-indulgence! Happy new year!

Hope everyone is having happy holidays! For Christmas dinner, we had a traditional goose. The goose was rich and satisfying, with crisp skin. I used nutrient-dense innards in my stuffing. Then we used the rest of the goose. This included saving the glorious goose fat.
Using the Whole Goose, the Traditional Way
Thanks for hosting Kelly!
I’m sharing my top 4 favorite health and nutrition podcasts. With limited time to read books and blogs, I listen to podcasts when doing errands or cleaning to catch up on the latest in health.
Good morning, Kelly!
I am sharing two new favorites in our home:
1. a Baked oatmeal Recipe that makes 2 great treats – one is a Baked Oatmeal and the other is a cake – you’ll see what the difference is when you check out my post- I think you’ll be surprised like I was.
2. The results of my “very official” taste test panel on cinnamon sugar. Of course, it’s made healthier too!
Enjoy!
Kelly,
This week I made a fish stock based soup that is just jam packed with good stuff for you…. kale, crab meat, garlic, ginger, miso, mushrooms! It is simple to make too.

Sorry about the first post calling my soup “sour” instead of “soup”! Really, it is not SOUR…. it is very good! promise! If there was a way to swap out the first post and edit I would…. but since I don’t know how to do that I just reposted it as the next item! Sorry about that….
I posted my healthy take on Indian Fry Bread. This is a very economical, versatile and delicious flat bread!
Thanks for hosting! I’m sharing a recipe for meatloaf, which I served with collards & delicata as part of the Dark Days Challenge. It’s amazing how much better things taste when you use real ingredients – even the Creswick bacon I used is just AMAZING compared to the store bought stuff.
Hi Kelly,
I am sharing The Top Ten Recipes that my readers liked the most in 2011. Thanks for hosting and have a very Happy New Year!

Thanks for hosting! Happy Holidays!
Hi Kelly!
I shared a recipe for gluten-free gingerbread man cookies. These are made with maple sugar and fresh ginger that makes them to die for!
Hope you get a chance to try them.
Happy Holidays!

Wow, the last RFW of the year. Where did it all go?

I just posted a recipe for stovetop Homemade Mac & Cheese! If you can use good, raw milk cheese this recipe will be super nourishing and yummy! My kids love it – plus, you can mix in some veggies/meat, etc to make it even more fulfilling!
A twist on traditional tortilla soup… adding Chipotle… spicy smoky yumminess. Perfect for cold weather!

I have a post full of news about Mexican New Year’s recipes; the FDA and its supposed overview of antibiotics and CAFOS; and the good, the bad and the ridiculously stupid in arguments for and against eating meat. It’s a lot but it’s fun. Hope to see you there!
