Sauteed Baby Mushrooms, Del Frisco’s Style

Mr. Native Texan loves a good steak. Unfortunately, he’s been unable to find one that lives up to his standards here on the east coast. Back in Texas, good steaks practically grew on trees! Del Frisco’s, located in the heart of downtown Fort Worth, was one of our favorite fancy steak houses. They also have…

Pack a Plastic-Free Lunch with LunchBots Stainless Steel Containers

Remember the stainless steel, divided lunch containers I mentioned in My Ongoing Household Detox Resolution, Phase Three: Kitchenware? In my efforts to pack a plastic-free lunch, we invested in a set of LunchBots containers. We’ve been using them for several months years now, so I thought I’d do a little review… The verdict: We really like…

Real Food Q&A: Should Raw Cheese be Organic?

This is the part of the program where Kathleen answers a reader’s question about Real Food… “Just because it’s raw doesn’t mean it’s organic? The label should have both raw and organic? I have been pondering this so I thought I’d ask since you posted about cheese.” ~Teresa

Project Eat More Veggies

I recently decided that I’m tired of eating the same three or four vegetables in our family dinners. The boys would only (happily) eat peas, corn, carrots, sweet potatoes, and (not so happily) green beans. Technically, peas and corn don’t even count as vegetables! They’re more like starches. So are carrots and sweet potatoes, I guess,…

Homemade Crockpot Ketchup

This ketchup is one of the ingredients in Last Minute Meatballs, a new favorite around the Yankee Homestead. We actually went without ketchup for many months, using guacamole, hummus and mustards when we needed a condiment for dipping or spreading. When I came across this recipe, I just had to try it!

What’s for Lunch? (other than bread)

One of the questions I fielded most frequently at the beginning of our Strange New Dietary Journey was, “What do you eat for lunch?” I think the rest of the question was implied: “…if you can’t eat bread?” Whenever we eat lunch with non-Real-Foodies, there seems to be much curiosity over the contents of our…

Seasoned Taco Meat

Seasoned Taco Meat Notes: I always double or triple this recipe, in order to have leftovers. It freezes well, too. This taco meat is great for using up leftover veggies or frozen shredded zucchini from our garden. The possibilities are endless! It’s not a particularly labor-intensive recipe, but it does require a bit of time to…

Chocolate Chip Cookies with Almond Flour

I may or may not have eaten four of these the other night. In under an hour. Not only are these cookies oh-so-delicious, they’re also free of gluten, sugar (except for the sugar in the chocolate chips) and eggs. Almond flour makes them especially nutritious, which is what I may or may not have told…
