Real Food Face-off

My face-off over at Kitchen Stewardship will be postponed until Tuesday- that Katie is just to busy with all the great giveaways over there! Be sure to check out her latest one for the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes book (though I kind of hope you don't so I have a better chance of winning it- I have been wanting this book so bad!)

Check back on Tuesday for my face-off post and the grand opening of Authentic Homemade! (which is postponed not because I'm so busy like Katie but because here on the East Coast the snow's been falling and I've been enjoying snow days from school and drinking hot cocoa! Lazy, I know!

Real Food at the grocery store

Hot dogs? Yes, that's right hot dogs- real food style! Another example of real food at the grocery store, I found some goodness at my local Shoprite- a regional store in the northeast. From Applegate Farms, a big name in organic and natural meat, comes Grass Fed Beef hot dogs- no nitrates added. And they are yummy!
I love this company anyway, they have great meat and cheese products, and they have even started a "trace your food to its source" program- which is great for the know-your-food movement.

I am happy to share this post at Real Food Wednesdays.
Be sure to come back tomorrow for the Real Food Blogger faceoff.
Also, coming tomorrow, my new Real Food site: Authentic Homemade.

Valentine's Day is almost here! Try something new- real food sweets that are still really good!

Homemade Candy- truffles and old-fashioned sponge candy

Other easy ideas- chocolate covered crispy nuts, dried fruits, or a mix of the two to make chocolate bark.
