"real food"

Last week I watched an Oprah episode about "real food". I got really interested in what she was talking about and started doing some research. Heading into my kitchen, I found myself checking out all the food ingredient lists in the fridge and pantry. What I found, alarmed me! All the strange additives, chemicals and fillers was scary! What happened to our food? Nothing is real anymore. Most of everything I was putting into my mouth and my families mouth's, was what I've begun calling "fake food". I set out on a mission. To find real food and feed my family the best I can.

My adventure started with a trip to the Whole Foods market in town. I fell in love with this place. No preservatives, no fillers, grass fed beef, antibiotic and free range chicken. It was amazing the difference in taste things have. You can actually buy food that tastes like it's supposed to. Why would a can of tomatoes need anything added to it? That was my question and still haven't found that answer but I'm going to keep looking. Most of the things I post will be Gluten Free as well. I'm embarking on a new way of eating....stay tuned!

This blog will be where I will be posting my menus and recipes that I come up with. All my "real food" finds ect.
