    Chicken Pasta Primavera

    We love pasta in our home. I’m sure being married to an Italian has absolutely nothing to do with it at all. Because of our love for fresh pasta, I someday hope to own some special die casts for making my own shapes, like penne, and rigatoni.  Until then, I buy imported organic dry pasta for dishes that call for something other than a long skinny noodle.  Those I’ve got down pat. I really want to share my homemade pasta recipe with you guys, but I don’t have anywhere to attach my pasta maker in my kitchen. Which I affectionately call Lord Voldemort’s 8th Horcrux.  As soon as I can figure out how…

    Better than Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls

    Today is my 1 year Blogiversary and I’m quite excited. It’s a big deal to make it through the first year of blogging and I’m seriously excited about what the next 12 months will bring to Real Food Girl: Unmodified. To thank all of you for putting up with me for an entire 365 days, I asked you over on my Facebook page if you’d rather have this recipe OR my split pea soup with ham recipe.  Hands down this recipe won.  But for those of you who asked for the soup, don’t worry. It will be on the blog later this week. I also have some fun surprises for the rest of…

    Faux-reo Cheesecake Bars

    Happy Valentine’s Day fellow Food Hippies!   I have a lovely treat for you guys.  It’s two of my most favoritest food things in the whole wide world combined together.  Cheese and cake.  Ha!  Kidding.  Make that cheesecake and Oreos.  “Whaaa?  I thought you were REAL Food Girl??”  Don’t worry, I am.  And I did not use real Oreos in this recipe.  Hence the name of the recipe:  Faux-reo Cheesecake Bars.  It rhymes with Oreo, but not with GMO soy, HFCS and other nasty ingredients.  You guys should be VERY happy that the original recipe that I had planned to share with you today had major flaws that could not be fixed even though…
