    Paprika Chicken with Smashed Taters & Gravy

    Hands down, this is probably one of my favorite meals from childhood.  My grandmother made this for Sunday dinners back when we used to go over to my Grandparents house after church on Sundays.  I truly miss those times.  I’d almost forgotten that a LARGE bottle of ketchup was present at every Sunday dinner.  I swear my grandfather would drink the stuff if allowed.  One year everyone bought him a bottle of ketchup and he was thrilled! Yeah, I know. It’s kind of gross that we put ketchup on every meat.  You’ll be happy to know that TSM (The Stud Muffin) broke me of that habit very early on in our relationship.  I…

    Hello Real Food Hippies! I am excited to share a new Page with you.  Each time I add a page, article or resource to the blog, I aim to share it with you as a post.  This way you know of its arrival/existence and you can also search for it if for some reason you’re unable to view it via my Menu Bar.

    Fresh Garden Salsa -Organic

    This Real Food Girl loves her salsa.  My secret salsa love affair started when I had some at a local Mexican restaurant called Chi-Chi’s. I have no idea if Chi-Chi’s made authentic Mexican salsa or not, I just know I loved their salsa, and by the time my fajitas came sizzling down through the restaurant, I was full after eating 2 baskets of chips and 4 little containers of salsa all by myself.
