Real Food Friday #10

Hello and Welcome to another REAL Food Friday!  

My favorite salad picture!  Love you Mom!

Before we get started I have 1 simple request...

I know "Real" food may not seem like as much fun as the sugary, chemically, DIY recipes out there on the internet.  This is why REAL Food Friday is so unique.  This is the place to share your unprocessed, gmo-free, locally grown and/or fair trade posts.

We are trying to make a difference 1 recipe at a time!

We're your co-hosts
Joyce @ It's Your Life
Lydia @ Lydia's Flexitarian Kitchen 
Deborah @  Kneaded Creations
And me...Mary @ Back to the Basics and Mary's Kitchen

Please welcome Marla @ Organic 4 Greenlivings
 

My Features this week are:

JUST IN TIME for the pumpkins...

Easy Homemade Vegan and Paleo Mini Pumpkin Pie from The Real Food Guide

Pumpkin Pie Muffins from On the Home Front

Make Your Own Kombucha from A Life Unprocessed

In case you missed "What is Real Food" here's a recap...

Here's a great reference from Food Myths:
Do you ever think about how far the food you eat travels?  Who grew it?  Who picked it? How much in processing it's been through before you took a bite?
