It's everywhere. The "real food" craze is here, and let's hope it's not a passing craze. Our kids (OK, OK, and us too) eat a whole lot of junk. Not just "junk food", but stuff made with real, live junk (have you read the ingredients of what you're putting in the lunch box Tuesday?). I've been trying to get better at feeding my kids REAL food...natural food...fruits, veggies, whole grains, but it's hard!!
Unless you have an AWESOME mommy friend like JC, who is leading her family on a journey of "100 Days of Real and Really Local Food". Yep, you read that right...one. hundred. days. of only REAL and only LOCAL food. Not only is she leading her sweet family on this journey, but she is blogging about the WHOLE thing. We're talking shopping lists (what and where to buy), recipes, and full daily meal plans. Click the What House Wife image below to check out her awesomeness (and making it easier for the rest of us). I have such admiration for this mama...she is truly amazing. Thanks JC for being REAL and for being you!!
Blessings,
