Hello and Welcome to REAL Food Friday (the last link up)! 

H4H Gift Sets to Grow Your Own Real Food!!!

I have no features this week.  I am getting ready for my last workshop of 2013 AND packaging up "Home For The Holidays" Gift Sets.

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

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!
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?
