One of the things I like most about being a Real Food-er is (virtually) meeting all the amazing people who make up this worldwide community of crunchy food fanatics. Many of them can be found blogging about their traditional-fooding lives, and most of them have been doing both of those things a lot longer…
Simple Shrimp with Carrots
I had one of those awful, “Waaahhh, there is nootthiiiiing to eeeeat in my houuuuse” days last week that left me wondering what in the world I would scrounge up in my kitchen to make lunch.

A Counter-Attack on those Pesky Ants
There is a phrase that gets used a lot in the B.B. household. “Ant Attack!!” Oh, no. This is when you know there’s been an invasion of the colonized critters to our cozy abode. Hoards of them descend upon counter tops, floors, sinks, walls, furniture, SKIN (aaack!)… out of nowhere. They end up in places…
One Simple Change to Feel Healthier and Have More Energy
Over the past week, I’ve been putting to the test one of the easiest ways I’ve found to help your body stay healthy. It doesn’t involve starting a recipe 100 hours ahead of time, or making weird science experiments in your kitchen, or any of the other somewhat overwhelming tasks a Real Food-er must do….
Bug Block Hard Lotion Bar Review and Giveaway!
We all pretty much know by now how much I hate bugs, and how much the bugs love me. And though I do have the ultimate cure for them, having to constantly tend to those big ugly bites cropping up on every square inch of me whenever I’m out of the house gets to be…
