Real Food Girl Presents: The Aliso Kitchen
Happy Monday Food Hippies! I hope you guys had a spectacular weekend and you’re all rested up ready to take on the adventures of a new week! Today marks the last guest post for a while here at Real Food Girl: Unmodified. I believe I’m feeling well enough to manage posting at least 3 times per week myself. I wanted to extend another gracious Thank-You to all the Food Bloggers that stepped up to help me out when I became ill. Your kindness and willingness to help truly blessed me and I know the Food Hippies got some great recipes and learned some new things from all of you! Thank you. You ladies…

Real Food Strawberry Lemonade
Earlier in the week we had the heat on. I was even wearing long sleeves to bed. Over an 18-hour period we went from the low 40s to 99 degrees. Talk about insanity. That heat wave got me to thinking that it’s just about lemonade season and if it’s one thing you need to know about me, besides the fact that I believe that bacon is the answer to every question, it’s that I looove lemons. This means I love lemonade. I can’t get enough of the stuff. Each summer before I started learning about GMOs and Real Food I used to buy several containers of Minute Maid frozen concentrated lemonade. That stuff…

Real Food Electrolyte Drink
Today I thought I’d put on my Scientist Girl Hat (and my Mechanic Girl Hat) and share with you some information about electrolytes. One of the symptoms of the Hypercalcemia that I’m dealing with is that my electrolytes are all out of whack. Additionally a result of the abnormal parathyroid hormone levels in my blood, my body isn’t able to regulate its electrical system at all- which causes extra stress on a person’s heart, kidney’s and pancreas. Your parathyroid glands control and help regulate your body’s electrical system so when those aren’t functioning properly, you can imagine how off-kilter things become. Think of it like this. Your car needs motor oil for the…

Outta the Park BBQ Pulled Chicken… GMO-Free
A few months ago I was introduced to Beth, one of the owners of Outta the Park BBQ Sauce. I’d been commenting on my Facebook Page about how difficult it had been for TSM (The Stud Muffin) and I to find good tasting, organic condiments. We’d wasted close to a hundred dollars trying to find salad dressings we liked. I know, I know…I should make my own, but TSM and I don’t like the same types of dressings and I’ve never found a dressing that is comparable to that HFCS laden Western brand French dressing. But I digress. As I lamented about all the money we’d wasted trying to find decent tasting…

GMOs for Newbies- What You Need To Know
GMOs for Newbies Unless you’ve been hiding under a bush–not that there’s anything wrong with that, some days I’d prefer camping out under a bush–you’ve been hearing a lot about GMOs lately. GMOs are in the news, online, all over your Facebook news feed and most likely they’re a topic of discussion on most Health & Wellness and Food Blogs that you follow, and, with good reason. You may wonder why this topic seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and you might also wonder why it is gaining such momentum. What’s the deal with GMOs? WHAT EXACTLY ARE GMOs? GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism. It can also be referred…

Real Food Girl Presents: The Baking Fairy
Happy Monday Food Hippies! I have another fantastic guest post for you today. I have to say, this illness has been a blessing in disguise because everyone is getting to see some great recipes and blogs that they may never have known about had I not reached out for help to make sure I had content for the blog until I’m up on my feet again. Today’s post and recipe is from the Baking Fairy and this chicken and lentil pot pie looks really spectacular! I’m going to make this for dinner for sure. I’m almost regretting that I took fish out of the freezer for dinner tonight, because this looks to die…
