Savory Balsamic Onion-Bacon Jam
Bacon. Caramelized onions, bacon, fresh thyme, white wine, bacon, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, bacon, chicken stock, bacon. Let me guess, the only word you kept seeing was bacon. Yeah, I’m not surprised. This recipe was one of the first that I shared when I started my blog. You can see it HERE. The photos were taken with my trusty iPhone, and they’re pretty scary. I think that is why only a handful of my earliest and very faithful readers were brave enough to try this recipe. I’m thankful they did- because to this day, they can’t stop talking about this “jam”. I felt it was time to update this post and the photos.…

30-Minute Mondays- Beef and Bean Enchiladas
Mexican food is one of my top 4 favorite cuisines. I suppose if I were to be honest, there is actually a three-way tie between Mexican, Asian and Italian cuisines for second place with French being my #1 favorite to cook and eat. There is just something about the fresh flavors, the spice, the heat, and simplicity of Mexican food that I really like. I do tend to Americanize my Mexican dishes for the blog, but some day, I’ll break out the authentic stuff taught to me by some of the line cooks at the restaurants where I worked. I simply have no idea where I packed those notes when we moved last…

Real Food Enchilada Sauce
I love to spoil you guys. I really do. Case in point; tomorrow for 30-Minute Monday I’m sharing my Beef and Bean Enchilada recipe. But in order to have it fit into the 30-minute time frame, you guys would have to use a powdered enchilada mix. Which, if you can find one that is truly nothing but organic spices, that’s not a bad thing, but making one from scratch always seems like a better idea to me. In order for you guys to be able to make the enchiladas, I wanted you to have my Real Food Enchilada Sauce recipe. YAY!! And, if I don’t get this posted before Monday, you’ll have to…

Frankenfoods, GMOs and The Dirty Dozen
Hi Everyone! Today I’ll be sharing my second guest post in our series on Real Food over at We Know Stuff. Hailing from Long Island, Denine and Daniele are the two fabulous sisters behind this fun, all things life, family and parenting blog. A few months ago we started chatting about how overwhelming all the information online was regarding Real Food. Through multiple online resources they read a myriad of stats, facts, figures and rules to show them the way and instead of empowering them to make the changes they desired to make, that information made them feel inferior, ashamed, and anxious. Understandably, that made me sad. It made me sad because I…

The Dirty Dozen and Clean 15
Hey there Food Hippies. When asked about the best place to start your Real Food journey, I almost always say with the Dirty Dozen list. This post is a duplicate of the Dirty Dozen Clean Fifteen page featured on my nav bar, but my theme won’t let you Pin images on a page, only in a post. So I’m going to sneak this into the mix so that if you happen upon it, you can pin the image below that I worked hard pretty on. In my opinion, this is quite possibly one of the most important lists that you could memorize when it comes to eliminating harmful toxins from your diet. An…
