A day of REAL food!

Posted on 10/30/2011 by Christy

Here’s an example of what we ate one particular day in our “REAL FOOD” household.

For more great recipes from us, check out our book “Eating Additive-Free”!

Breakfast:

Egg (fried in coconut oil and sprinkled with salt/pepper)
Chipotle Sweet Potatoes
Smoothie made with kale (greens), freshly squeezed OJ, frozen strawberries, banana, pineapple (looks gross, but it’s YUMMY – can’t even taste the kale!)

Lunch:

Leftover Chili
Salad with yellow peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes and Homemade Italian Dressing

Snack:

Pecan Pie LaraBar
Apple

Dinner:

Southwest Rice Bowl – Before we changed our diet 4 1/2 years ago, I used to LOVE going out to eat at PepperJax Grill and ordering their Chicken Rice Bowl. So I created this recipe to recreate those flavors at home: Chicken, onions, brown rice, cilantro, lime juice, tomatoes, green onions, avocado, etc. Yum!!

Dessert:

Homemade gluten-free granola bars (made with pure cocoa nibs!)

My “Real Foods” Diary (Saturday, Oct. 29, 2011)

Posted on 10/29/2011 by Christy

Today is October 29, 2011. By reader request, I logged all of my food today so I can show you an example of the foods I might eat in a typical day as part of my “additive-free,” REAL FOODS lifestyle. Today was a little unusual because we ate a really late breakfast and I took an afternoon nap; so this is a bit less food than I eat in an average day, I suppose. No worries, I’ll blog about other days in the future, too, to give you a better idea 🙂 (Click any pictures to enlarge!)

Breakfast: Eggs fried in coconut oil; sweet potatoes sauteed in coconut oil and seasoned with Chipotle powder and salt; pineapple
