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!

I’m sharing my favorite recipe for winter tea. It contains nettles and elderberries for nourishment, and orange peel and cinnamon for warmth. This post also contains a bunch of sentimental mush about my Gran, who is a part of every recipe I make. http://hungerandthirstforlife.blogspot.com/2012/01/winter-tea-blend.html
Farm direct shopping and bulk buying are a great way to save money – but dropping an entire month’s food budget on single ingredients can cause a real financial strain at first! We’re launching this new series on bulk buying and farm direct shopping with a post about how to make the transition make financial sense! http://theliberatedkitchenpdx.com/basics/bulk-buying-without-breaking-the-bank/
I love cooking up a big pot of healthy homemade bean soup on our wood stove. It is a frugal, real food meal that our family of 10 really enjoys!

Thanks for letting me share a delicious dairy-free ice cream recipe. It is great for kids of all ages!

Thanks for hosting! I look forward to this party! I posted some easy and healthy Mexican food today! Black Bean Soup and Easy Chicken Fajitas Crock Pot Style. These are a huge hit with guests and they beg for the recipe! lol
I’ve been trying to cook better with real food, it’s amazing how my blog and recipes have changed over the years. Much is because of your blog and what I have learned. Thank you!

I like spaghetti squash better than spaghetti! http://farmfoodblog.com/spaghetti-squash-with-bolognese-sauce/
HI Kelly, I was wondering could you please delete addition number 47? I accidentally pressed enter before I was finished so it has the wrong name and goes to the wrong place. Oops.
Thanks!
Thanks for hosting! I shared a coconut oil review and a post on how to use coconut flour.
Thank you so much for hosting.

Katie
Oops, I accidentally put my name as the title when I first tried to link up and I don’t know if I can delete it :-s. Can you tell I’m new to this, lol?
I am in process of trying to switch our family’s diet to one based more on real food. I have written about some books that are helping us, a trip to the farmers market and making stock in my post here: http://livegrownourishcreate.wordpress.com/2012/01/25/nourishing-books-and-foods/
I would love encouragement and support from other real foodies!

Hi Kelly! I’ve shared a slow simmered Indian dish that my husband and I adore! BTW, made my own mayo yesterday…fabulous! It’s SO easy with a few good instructions and then you control everything that goes in it…it’s amazing they get so many ingredients in the commercial varieties….won’t work for my vegan and egg avoiding readers, but everyone else can enjoy it! What do you recommend for a lighter tasting oil that isn’t as scary as canola oil? Olive oil has a distinct taste….not sure there are any vegetable oils out there that aren’t scary!
oops, forgot my link!

Linked up about my new favorite hobby-FLASH FREEZING
I left a post about the importance of dietary fat intake and its impact on our body’s production of cholesterol.
Thanks Kelly!!!
Thanks for hosting. I shared a Fettuccine Alfredo recipe. It’s so yummy! Fresh lemon juice and zest add an extra special flavor to this dish, they help cut the richness too. Thanks again.

Thank you for allowing us to post. This week, I decided to focus on gluten free recipes for the Chinese New Year and what the dishes mean such as egg rolls symbolizing wealth? What a great way to gain another understanding of food!

Good morning! I really enjoy your link-ups and am learning lots of things… Today I shared an easy, easy, easy recipe to make potato soup in under an hour, without using cream, roux, or soup stock. Our three year old can make it (if I do the chopping.) http://www.stealthymom.com/2012/01/easy-potato-soup-gluten-free.html
Thanks for the link up! I left my recipe for cream of chicken soup. I use this in all recipes that call for it! Say goodbye to store-bought yucky condensed soups! Good riddance to MSG, soy, BPA and sodium! http://www.thehumbledhomemaker.com/2012/01/homemade-homemaking-cream-of-chicken.html

Since most bloggers post recipes in this carnival, and I have my own Weekend Gourmet recipe carnival on Mondays, I have lately been sharing Real Food Stories! This is yet another AMAZING testimony of a teenaged boy who read about and followed the Weston Price Foundation dietary guidelines and he reversed acne, allergies, and asthma!
http://hartkeisonline.com/natural-health/teenager-beats-asthma-allergies-with-a-traditional-diet/
I posted a recipe today that my husband taught me to make. Its a beef cabbage fry and its quick and easy and so yummy.

Hi Kelly, thanks for hosting! I have linked my recipe for an Herbed Goat Cheese Ball: http://sheenacucina.blogspot.com/2012/01/herbed-goat-cheese-ball.html. This takes just a minute to whip up and has impressed everyone I have served it to, so far
I hope you try it out.
I just put up my recipe for homemade white chocolate, which I sweetened with honey to make it GAPS legal. Plus, unlike my chocolate chip recipe that contains cocoa powder, this recipe is completely GAPS-legal for even those who cannot tolerate the cocoa powder. Enjoy!
